Game of Thrones: I became a crown prince for a day

"Yes, please wait..."

The guard captain was dressed in iron armor. He looked at the huge glutton in fear and hurriedly ran down the city wall.

However, the arrival of the dragon is obviously eye-catching enough.

The castle gate has been opened.

A group of attendants walked out in two rows, lowering their heads and not daring to look at the majesty of the dragon in the distance.

Walking among the attendants were several nobles in rich costumes.

The leader was an old man with a serious face.

The old man's hair color is the silver color of traditional Valyrian descendants, with sparse hair remaining on the top of his head.

The loose skin caused the corners of the eyes to droop, and a pair of green eyes shone with a shrewd light.

The group of people walked out quickly but without losing their manners.

Until the city gate opened, he stopped at the city gate and looked at the prince on the dragon's back.

"Glutton, put me down."

Rhaegar said softly.

"Hiss..."

The glutton roared and crawled down, allowing the driver to slide off the dragon's back.

The two sides kept a distance of one hundred meters.

The people on the other side did not dare to approach the dragon and stood in front of the city gate to greet him.

Rega slowly walked over, looking at the group of people, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

He saw a familiar face.

"The Seven Gods have blessed me and allowed me to meet the prince here. It's great."

Before Rega could say anything, a round body squeezed out from the opposite side, and he quickly stepped forward with an excited expression.

Rega smiled and said in surprise: "Lord Leonor, why are you here?"

The other party was none other than Leonor Strong, the former Prime Minister.

Because Leonor was walking too fast, the fat on his belly trembled slightly, and he couldn't hide his joy: "Prince, it's great that you are okay. I have been looking for traces of you on the sea during this time."

Since Rhaegar's dragon disappeared, Leonor was sent to search around the Narrow Sea.

He had just visited Tidal Head Island where the Velaryon family was located not long ago.

Unexpectedly, the Settiga family who were visiting Crab Island today met Rhaegar by chance.

As soon as the two met, Leonor bent down with difficulty and pulled Rega to look around, as if checking for any injuries.

Rhaegar chuckled and said, "I'm fine. My dragon landed on the Crab Claw Peninsula to recuperate after being injured. It was just a few days ago."

He didn't lie.

The glutton was indeed seriously injured, and it was true that he had just returned a few days ago.

It's just that he experienced a lot of stories during this period, and the ending was very twisty.

After careful calculation, he only left Dragonstone Island for less than ten days.

Seeing that the prince was not injured, Leonor was greatly relieved: "Prince, you have been missing for so long and there is no news. The king and princess are very worried about your safety."

"I'm sorry. There are some things that have hindered my trip. I want to return as soon as I solve it."

Lei was even more moved when he heard that his father and sister had worked so hard for it.

"It's great news that you're okay."

Leonor stood up straight, led Rega to the city gate, and introduced carefully: "This is the Lord of Crab Island, the patriarch of the Celtija family, Lord Bartimus Celtija."

"And one of your father's most loyal vassals."

Rega looked at the white-haired old man and nodded obediently: "Greetings to you, Lord Bartimus."

The old man always kept a smile and saluted: "It's an honor for you to come to Crab Island as a guest, Prince."

After saying that, he stepped aside, guided the direction of the castle, and said softly: "You are a guest from afar. Please enter the castle for a brief introduction."

"My pleasure, my lord."

Rhaegar smiled slightly and followed Leonor into the castle.

As a famous maritime family, the Celtigar family, like the Velaryon family, initially made its fortune by collecting taxes from passing ships.

Later, a powerful fleet was formed, and maritime trade began, making a fortune.

The hard work of just a few generations has made a lot of money.

As soon as Rhaegar entered the castle, he felt the strong financial resources of the Celtigar family.

The hall is covered with precious Myr carpets, the windows are made of Volantis glass, and the walls are decorated with gold and silver carvings...

Rhaegar glanced at it and had only one thought in his mind.

"You're so rich!"

Bartimus was a face-loving nobleman. Seeing that the prince was attracted by the decoration of the castle, a proud smile appeared on his lips.

"Prince, forgive me for not holding a grand enough welcome banquet for you."

"But in order to welcome Lord Leonor, the kitchen has prepared a good reception banquet. I hope you won't dislike it."

Bartimus had no shortage of ostentatious regrets.

Rhaegar didn't ask much for this.

He is here for business, not just a guest.

While the attendants were preparing for the banquet, Bartimus chatted with Rhaegar and Leonor.

Leonor mentioned what happened on Dragonstone after Rhaegar disappeared.

Many Dragon Guards and Huanlong people were raided and had their heads chopped off because of suspicion.

Rhaenyra quarreled with her father several times, quarreling about returning to King's Landing and riding a dragon on the sea to search for traces of Rhaegar.

Rhaegar also recounted his experiences on the peninsula during this period.

The two thoughtful adults who listened were stunned for a moment, not expecting such a bizarre experience.

In particular, the curse of the Shadowbinder and the magic of the forest witch deeply stimulated their old-fashioned thinking.

Bartimus was full of doubt and said in disbelief: "Prince, are you saying that magic is real and has invaded the Crab Claw Peninsula?"

"Obviously." Rhaegar shrugged.

Leonor said more tactfully: "Prince, magic has disappeared for many years, and most people think it is a legend."

"In a few years, if the dragon unfortunately becomes extinct, will the world think it is a legend?" Rhaegar asked innocently.

"Well……"

Both of them were stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Bartimus put his hands on his hands and smiled: "Yes, the prince is right. When I was young, I traveled by boat on both sides of the Narrow Sea and encountered many thrilling adventures."

Rhaegar sat on the couch and said sincerely: "My lord, I came to Crab Island this time to borrow a ship to transport the free people who follow me. Please help me generously."

"No problem, but..."

Bartimus looked hesitant and glanced at Leonor, who was silent.

When people from the royal family opened their mouths, it was natural for them to borrow a boat to transport something as trivial as this.

But what they were transporting was a group of peninsula savages...

He didn't dare to agree casually.

Following his line of sight, Rhaegar looked at Leonor and said, "If you don't believe it, you can follow me to the Crab Claw Peninsula to argue the truth. The nobles there have sworn allegiance to me."

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly froze.

Leonor raised his head, his eyes flashing with unknown light.

A pair of brown eyes seemed to look right through Rhaegar.

Bartimus lowered his head in deep thought, recalling his experience of contacting the peninsula nobles.

They were a group of savage and arrogant nobles.

A disagreement can easily lead to a fight and start a war between two or even several families.

Because the land is barren, the kingdom has little management.

Most of the time, the nobles of the peninsula were allowed to act recklessly and beat them to death.

This also resulted in the soldiers under the peninsula's nobles being very powerful and difficult to deal with.

If the prince in front of him really gains the allegiance of the peninsula nobles, it will be equivalent to recruiting an army with considerable combat power.

What's more, there is a group of savages following him.

Also a good cannon fodder team.

Rhaegar will grow older, but not until he returns to King's Landing.
