When he was about to reach the Red Fort, a cough came from the shadow of a certain house.

Christon Cole raised the sword in his hand, and the guards beside him were also very nervous.

A figure slowly walked out, the sunlight leaving traces on his sharp face, and the silver hair showed the identity of the visitor.

"Uncle..." Rhaenyra looked at the visitor and signaled the guards not to be nervous.

"My dear uncle will not hurt me. Put down your weapons."

Facing Cole's slightly scrutinizing and hostile gaze, Daemon Targaryen smiled when he heard this, "My little pearl..."

Daemon Targaryen has always liked Rhaenyra as his niece. He has brought her gifts from outside the kingdom since she was a child, and told her stories about his adventures. He is considerate and considerate. It can be said that Daemon Targaryen is a man of blood and love.

In the original book of Fire, Rhaenyra's glimmer of light.

"I didn't see Colaxio in the dragon's lair. Where did you hide it?"

"My blood worm is hungry, so I let it fly farther away."

"Father is angry"

"I know"

Rhaenyra did not pester him as usual, which made Daemon Targaryen a little uncomfortable.

"Uncle, it's better to drink less wine."

Rhaenyra was a little disgusted with Daemon's smell of wine, and he still drifted over from so far away.

“…”

“…”

Nothing was said between the two of them, and they were silent for a while.

Daemon is a proud man, and no one can hear him surrendering, but there is still a look of guilt for Rhaenyra on his face, but it only lasts for a while, and then he becomes firm.

Rhaenyra ignored him and turned around and walked towards the Red Keep.

Daemon wanted to say something else, but Rhaenyra was already gone.

When Rhaenyra stepped into the hall of the Red Keep, night had quietly crept into the sky

The candle with spices was lit by the servant, reflecting the brightness and silence in the empty hall.

The floor was covered with brocade from Myr, and the vases on the wall contained roses and honeysuckle picked in the morning.

Iri poured Rhaenyra a glass of sweet ale she had made by herself. Rhaenyra moistened her throat and put it down. She changed into a dress while other maids waited on her.

The Red Keep is so peaceful at this time. If possible, Rhaenyra hopes it can continue like this.

The clang of armor sounded outside the door

Christon Cole said loudly: "Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty wants to see you."

The door was opened, and a slightly tired Rhaenyra came out.

"I know, Sir." Cole nodded and turned back, but his steps seemed a bit messy.

The maid lit the lamp and led Rhaenyra forward.

"Father"

King Viserys, who was reading with the light of a lamp, did not put down the book when he heard this.

After a moment of silence, Viserys continued,

"I heard you met Damon today."

Rhaenyra nodded.

Viserys slapped the book on the table, "He still has the nerve!?"

Rhaenyra said nothing when she heard this.

The relationship between the king and the queen was very good, and Rhaenyra had been growing up in a happy life. However, the issue of the heir had always troubled the couple. Until the pain of childbirth threatened to take away Queen Emma Arryn, the king chose

Open the abdomen and take out the baby.

Between a husband and a king, Viserys chose the latter.

But fate seemed to have played a joke, and Rhaenyra's brother, Prince Baelron, also died a day later.

"Rhaenaela, my child"

Viserys looked at Rhaenyra with loving eyes.

"I have decided to hold a ceremony in three days to make you my heir."

"Even the gods cannot change my decision."

Viserys's eyes were full of Rhaenyra's figure since childhood, and the kindness in his eyes gradually turned into determination.

Between a father and a king, he chose the former.

Starting from the Great Council 101, Viserys' entire life was trapped in the game of succession, but he never gave up choosing Rhaenyra until death came.

"Father..." Rhaenyra stepped forward, letting Viserys take her hand and walk towards the wall fire.

This is a secret that every generation of family heirs must keep.

"Our family's clan language is that blood and fire come from the same source. Ever since Denise the Dreamwalker guided the family to Dragonstone and Aegon the Conqueror unified the Seven Kingdoms, Targaryen has been keeping this secret. The Long Night will come in the future.

, the cold winds of the Far North will resound throughout the earth, and Targaryen will have a savior to dispel the long night, do you understand?"

"Our dragon dynasty is an arrangement of fate..."

Viserys said to Rhaenyra seriously, "In addition, your great-grandfather also gave an order. If someone other than us hatches a dragon, we must kill his entire family without leaving any future troubles."

"

"The Braavosi people stole three dragon eggs during your great-grandfather's reign... This has always been his pet peeve."

"Of course, except for Targaryen, no one can hatch a dragon again and become a dragon knight. This is determined by our bloodline. The Trade Federation and Volantis have so many Valyrian relics, and they also have a strong interest in dragons.

We are salivating, but we are the only ones with dragons.”

"Father..."

"My child" Viserys patted Rhaenyra's head with his hand and continued, "My heir will only be you."

"I hope you can fulfill your responsibilities"

"Father will always support you"

It was late at night, and Rhaenyra still couldn't sleep.

Lying on the silk quilt, Rhaenyra was thinking about this period of history in blood and fire.

The reason why Viserys has always been worried about the right to inherit is of course because he is a hard-won king.

This is about the Targaryen blood law and the Andals' law of direct inheritance.

His succession came from the 101 Great Council convened by King Jeffries of Human Rui to decide on the candidate for the crown prince. The candidates at that time included the uncrowned queen Rhaenys, the biological daughter of Jeffries' eldest son Aemon, and his second son Baerron.

The eldest son Viserys.

King Renrui chose the latter, which was also Targaryen's surrender to the great nobles of Andal. The law of blood was less than the law of direct descent.

In the original history, after Rhaenyra was regarded as the heir, the queen tampered with her will and supported her son to succeed. After a bloody civil war, Rhaenyra's son Aegon III succeeded to the throne, and the subsequent laws

It was even decided that the inheritance rights of direct Targaryen women would always be less than that of men, and the eldest son's inheritance system was officially established.

There is no queen in Targaryen, not even Daenerys, the mother of dragons. At the end, she gave a big gift package to the savior.

In Blood and Fire, there are several periods of history that have far-reaching impact. In addition to Rhaenyra's succession, there is also the war between Maegor and the church after he got his second wife. Maegor eliminated the hidden danger of religious power being greater than royal power.

But he himself was called Maegor the Cruel...

Just like in the 101 Great Council, the nobles wanted Viserys to succeed to the throne, now Viserys also has many difficulties in wanting Rhaenyra to succeed to the throne.

So Viserys held a banquet and asked all the nobles, big and small, to swear allegiance to Rhaenyra, and Rhaenyra officially gained the title of Righteousness.

But if the cheaper brother Aegon II shows up...

The nobles will surely jump up again...

Without Aegon II, there would still be Thunder Geng, Jiang Geng...

So Viserys wooed the Velaryon family and asked Rhaenyra to marry them, and then started a love-hate relationship.

Rhaenyra lay on her back on the big quilt and sighed helplessly, why is it so difficult to be a queen!

Yili, who was keeping vigil beside the bed, was startled when she saw the princess suddenly sitting up.

He rubbed his eyes, yawned and said, "Your Highness, do you want some water?"

Rhaenyra shook her head and told Ellie, "You should also get a soft blanket to sleep on."

The master and the servant fell asleep again and remained silent all night.
