Game of Thrones: I Became a Crown Prince For a Day

Chapter 31 Dream Fire

Looking at the dark hole in front of him, Rega was slightly stunned and murmured softly:

“Sir, do you think I can tame a dragon?”

Ilic's expression changed and he said in a panic: "Absolutely not, there is a violent adult dragon inside, and the king will not allow you to take risks!"

"Why?"

Rhaegar looked directly at the white knight and asked, "Do you think I can't tame a dragon?"

 “No, that’s not what I meant.”

Ilic tried hard to organize his words and said earnestly: "It is not easy to get the dragon's approval. You should think about it in the long term."

 “But I want to try, ser.”

Rhaegar took a step forward and took a deep breath: "My sister can control a dragon and fly at the age of 7. After this winter, I will also be 7 years old."

 “She can do it, but there’s no reason why I can’t.”

 There was one more sentence that Rhaegar did not say.

 He possesses [the origin of blood and fire] and has extremely high resistance to flames.

Old Valyrian bloodline is also strong enough, making it easier to gain recognition from the dragon.

 “I will not promise you, prince.”

Ilic stopped in front of Rhaegar and said solemnly: "I once swore to the king that I would protect his eldest son. I can't watch you put yourself in danger."

"Keyou also swore to me that he would do his best to complete the tasks I assigned him, no matter life or death, no matter honor or disgrace."

Rhaegar yelled loudly, staring at the white knight in front of him.

Perhaps the nightmare, the prefix, and Rhaenyra's coldness all combined at this moment.

Rhaegar's heart was filled with an extremely chaotic negative emotion.

 Like fear of nightmares, or dissatisfaction with the prefix, or even jealousy of my sister...

 He is Rhaegar, Rhaegar Targaryen.

　　targaryens are never weak!

Behind him is the lair of Dreamfire. Rhaegar wants to tame this giant dragon and use it to win honor and respect.

 Elic couldn't stop him.

 Because he is a white knight, he must keep his oath.

Rhaegar looked solemn and gave an order to Ilic for the first time: "Now, Rhaegar, the eldest son of Viserys I, is giving you an order to stay where you are and not to disobey!"

 “Prince, you...”

Ilic wanted to dissuade him, but Rhaegar shouted: "Keep quiet, sergeant!"

With the oath on his body, Ilic could not live up to the white robe on his shoulders. He stood at attention with a struggling expression and gripped the hilt of his sword.

 “Very well, oath-keeping white knight.”

Rhaegar walked past Elik, glanced at Menas, who was stunned at the side, and said: "Ilic stayed outside the lair to take care of him. If you have nothing to do, you can go back."

Hearing the words of Rega, who was trying to be a nobleman, Menas shuddered and said excitedly: "No! I want to follow you. I am familiar with the habits of dragons and can help you."

 He also hoped to gain the prince's approval and get rid of the injustice of fate.

 How could you shrink back at such a critical moment?

Rhaegar looked at him strangely and saw that he was looking forward to death. Then he nodded and said, "That's fine. If I can tame the Dream Fire, I will credit you with it."

 “Yes, Your Highness!”

Menas became even more excited after hearing this. He boldly walked up to Rhaegar and entered the cave entrance first to clear the way.

Rhaegar did not refuse. He turned back to Ilic and said calmly: "He is braver than you, sir."

 After saying that, Lei Ga quickly followed Menas, and his figure disappeared into the dark cave entrance.

 Elic closed his eyes in pain, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.

 His duty is to protect the prince's safety.

 But the prince obviously prefers adventure.

 …

 Entering the lair, Menas picked up a torch from the ground and lit it skillfully, bringing light to the pitch-black space.

  In the dark environment, a fire suddenly illuminated, and Rega subconsciously covered his eyes to avoid the bright light.

After entering the lair, Menas' excitement subsided greatly and he said nervously: "Your Highness, Menghuo has lived in the dragon's lair for many years and has a very violent temper. You can try to observe it from a distance."

"I will, maester." Rhaegar nodded, tilted his head and said, "Are you familiar with the environment here?"

Mainers smiled shyly: "Yes, Bachelor Bath stipulates that the dragon lair must be checked regularly. Other bachelors can't stand the smell of dragon dung, so I have to complete this task."

 “That’s it. It seems that you are very responsible for your work.”

Noting Menas’s familiarity in leading the way, Rhaegar felt that this man was a promising person.

“Your Highness, I usually bring one or two dragonmen with me when I enter the lair. They speak High Valyrian and can sing songs to appease dragons.”

Meiners blushed when he was praised and told an important message.

 At this point, he no longer considered whether the prince in front of him really wanted to tame the dragon?

 Or whether it can be tamed successfully.

 He just wants to express himself and get the prince's attention.

Rhaegar stared at his back and secretly cursed: "The great young man who has been suppressed for many years is too impatient."

But it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter if it’s urgent or not, as long as it’s useful.

Rhaegar whispered: "Valyrian is my mother tongue, I can try it."

Since gaining proficiency in Old Valyrian, he recalled some images that were deep in his memory.

That was when he was still young.

 Perhaps before the age of three.

At that time, he was in a coma all year round and his life was in danger.

What no one knows is that he was briefly awake at that time, but he was too weak to open his eyes, which was the same as falling asleep.

 But his sense of hearing, touch and smell are fine.

　　For many brief moments when he was half asleep and half awake, Rhaegar could hear soft humming in his ears.

 He didn't know where the sound came from.

  Sometimes the owner of the voice would caress his face and kiss his forehead.

Although I can’t see with my eyes, I can’t speak with my mouth.

But he remembered the voice of the owner of the song, and his nose could smell a faint pungent smell.

 After waking up, he forgot the content of the song.

 But he knew what that faint smell was.

 The smell of a dragon is similar to the smell of sulfur.

Now, he could roughly recall the content of the ballad, which was a ballad in the ancient Valyrian language.

 Clearing his throat, Rhaegar imitated the soft tone in his memory and slowly hummed the song called "The Shepherd's Sunset".

The tender voice of a child suddenly came from the darkness, dispelling the inner uneasiness.

"Roar…"

As the song was humming, a huge creature deep in the lair opened its eyes and raised its head in confusion.

The underground lair is not spacious, and the distance is not as deep as the tunnel.

Rhaegar soon came to a more open underground space.

With the help of the flickering firelight, the ground was scattered with the bones of many large livestock, as well as the smelly dragon dung.



The fire suddenly swayed violently, the dull air became hot, and the sound of the collision of chain dragging sounded from the shadows.

 “Give me the torch, it’s enough for you to wait here for me.”

Through the firelight, Rhaegar saw a giant creature lying in the corner, and knew that it was the giant dragon Menghuo.

Meiners obediently handed over the torch, leaned close to the wall, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, you must be careful, don't run away immediately if you don't do anything wrong."

 “I will, pray for me!”

Rhaegar did not like the warnings that seemed to be parting from life and death, so he walked slowly forward humming a song.

 Approaching the huge figure in the corner.

   The last update, I hope all book friends will support me and give the author more encouragement.

Menghuo is a relatively gentle dragon. Being in the lair without seeing the light all year round makes it even more irritable.
