Chapter 35: Changes in Engagement
Boom boom boom!
After calming down a family civil war that was killing each other,
Viserys I, whose body was almost unable to bear it, slowly left the throne room.
Even when he was stumbling, he didn't ask anyone to help him.
The indecisive Viserys I may not be a good king.
But there is really nothing to say about the care they give to their loved ones.
The only one who feels sorry is his original wife Emma Eiling, who performed a caesarean section to save her son.
But it was precisely because of this that he doted on his daughter Rainier even more.
Depriving Jakaris of his inheritance rights was to side with Allison?
No, he just didn't want the loving Rhaenyra to take the blame for the notorious Jacaerys.
This would affect Rainier's position as crown prince.
Even if I am seriously ill and endure pain every day.
He also wanted to live two more years so that he could take care of his daughter, Rainiera, as much as possible.
But Viserys I did not know that the longer he lived, the greater power that Alicent and other green party members would accumulate.
The more blood dragons dance, the more brutal the war will be!
After losing sight of her father's back, Rhaenyra walked out of the throne room with a look of disappointment on her face.
Rhaenys, who had remained silent and neutral, followed her.
He whispered: "It seems that there should be some changes in the deal between us."
The content of the deal that House Velaryon made with Viserys I and Rhaenyra was:
After Rhaenyra, Jacaerys will take the Iron Throne.
His last name will also be changed to Targaryen, and he will marry Baela.
Rhaenys had always disliked the three black-haired brothers born to Rhaenyra, and in recent years, Jacaerys's reputation had become increasingly bad.
So when Jakaris was stripped of her inheritance, she had to make immediate adjustments.
“How would you like to change?”
"You and Daemon's eldest son, Aegon Targaryen, will marry Baela."
Hearing this, Rhaenyra stopped walking, turned to stare at Rhaenys and said, “Bernyra and Jacaerys grew up together and have a very good relationship.
This time, she was even willing to take the knife for Jakaris on Bloodstone Island.
You want to tear them apart alive?"
Benilla took the initiative to block the knife?
Who knows if Jakaris was forcing it to be used as a shield!
When Renis heard this, a hint of gloom flashed across her face, but she didn't show it too much.
She just chuckled and said, "Haha, Rhaenyra, don't say such childish things!
When has royal marriage ever been about feelings? It’s all about interests!
Isn't that the case with you and me?"
"Okay, let's talk about interests instead of feelings!
Jacaerys is about to become the 'King of the Narrow Sea and the Stepstones'
That is the most important sea route for House Velaryon!"
"Without our Velaryon fleet, it's just a fancy title and a crappy wooden crown.
There is no rush for this matter, go back to Dragonstone and think about it carefully!
I will come to pick up Benila in a while, and I hope to get your answer by then! "
As Rhaenyra and Rhaenys talked in low voices, Alicent and her daughter were also whispering.
"Father, why did you stop me just now?
Jacaerys has obtained the crown of the Stepstones, and from now on even the king cannot force his orders on him!"
Hearing Alison's question, Sir Otto replied without changing his expression: "I know, so I was the first to speak out against it just now.
But I have been with His Majesty the King for so many years and I know him very well.
No one can change his decision.
If you keep pestering him, it will only make him more annoyed with you."
"But……"
Alison wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Sir Otto. "Alison, don't worry too much.
After Jacaris gained independence, we really could no longer issue orders or restrictions in the name of the king.
But there are both good and bad sides to this matter.
Without the nominal protection of the Seven Kingdoms, do you really think it's easy to deal with the tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves around the Stone Steps Islands?
From today on, the war in the Stepstones will be more brutal than before.
The power of Rainiera will continue to be consumed in this meat grinder!"
After hearing that Rhaenyra and Jacaerys would get into trouble in the Stepstone Islands, Alicent nodded in satisfaction.
Then he whispered to himself in a cold tone: "Melar, I will make all the murderers pay for your lives!"
Seeing Alicen, who had always been soft-hearted towards her enemies, say this, Sir Otto smiled.
"Jacaerys, I will definitely get back the lost eyes and ears from you two brothers!"
Aemond approached Jacaerys, who was about to leave, and whispered viciously.
"I am waiting for you!"
Jakaris nodded and replied, then continued with a serious look,
"Oh right! Just a kind reminder, be careful with black and white cats."
"cat?"
Looking at the confused Aemond, Jacaerys whistled in the tune of Black Cat Sheriff and turned away.
After leaving the throne room, Jacaerys and Daemon, led by Rhaenyra, went to visit Viserys I.
These three blood relatives had deep ties with each other, and as soon as they met, they began to talk to each other with true feelings.
During this period, Rhaenyra also told Rhaenys that she wanted to change the engagement for Bernilla.
Ask your father how to deal with it.
Jakaris didn't say a word from beginning to end, just stood in the corner and watched coldly.
He cared nothing about Benilla's engagement.
Because whether there is an engagement or not, Benilla is his woman.
No one could take her away, including the Uncrowned Queen and the Old Sea Snake.
After everyone's visit, Rhaenys did not return to Tidehead Island.
Instead, he stayed in the Red Keep temporarily on the pretext of accompanying King Viserys I.
Things may not necessarily develop in the worst direction.
But Jacaerys has already started thinking ahead and considering the response strategy after the alliance between the Velaryon family and the Hightower family.
There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests!
This sentence is the same in any world.
No one spoke on the way to the dragon's lair, and the three Jakaris were in different moods.
Jacaerys was both delighted at gaining autonomy over the Stepstones, and dissatisfied with Rhaenyra for helping outsiders.
If it weren't for Rhaenyra and Rhaenys's forced intervention.
After killing Aegon, he would definitely be able to kill Aemond in cooperation with Daemon.
Without the dragon knight, Allison and her daughter would have no choice but to become Wormax's food.
It was natural for her, Rhaenyra, to sit on the Iron Throne and become the first queen in the history of the Seven Kingdoms.
Maybe there will be some gossip about him killing his parents to ascend the throne, but what does it matter?
The Iron Throne is not secured by kindness and a good reputation alone.
The number of enemies burned to death by Aegon the Conqueror and Balerion the Black Death back then reached at least five digits!
Rhaenyra raised Jacaerys.
So he would not interfere with the choices made by Rhaenyra.
It will only grow and develop according to its own plan, sweeping away all enemies when the Blood Dragon Dance breaks out!
Hooray, hooray!
Three giant dragons rose from the dragon cave in King's Landing and then flapped their wings towards the Stepstones.
At this time, the morning sun has already risen, casting patches of warm sunlight.
But under the huge shadow of the three-headed dragon, cold corpses were carried out from the ruins of the residential areas of Linhemen and Fishermen's Square.
