The first thousand and sixty-five chapters get the title
"Uncle."
Kheros had tried hard to imagine what kind of person his uncle, who was said to be careful, intelligent, considerate and unfathomable, was like.
Prince Doran is now almost eighty years old, and he is the only one who has survived to the finals in this Game of Thrones.
Most of his old rivals are no longer alive, either died in wars or accidents, but he is the only one who has survived safely to this day.
However, all of Horos's imaginations about Prince Doran were definitely not the scene he saw before him.
In the spacious and dark bedroom, there was no extra furniture, not even a chair, just a large bed.
There were gauze curtains hanging around, half-blocking the figure lying on the bed, and the air was filled with a strong smell of herbs.
As soon as Heros entered Prince Doran's bedroom, he couldn't help but frown slightly, but he covered it with his arm and suppressed the pungent smell.
"Uncle."
He walked into the bedroom and looked at the figure lying on the hospital bed. Then the figure waved to him, and then Heros walked closer.
Then he saw an old man with a withered face and gray hair lying quietly on the hospital bed.
The other person's body was already so skinny that you could almost see the bones on his cheeks and arms, and his hazy eyes were looking at the ceiling aimlessly.
"Didn't you expect that I would be like this now?"
Heros looked at Prince Doran and opened his mouth without speaking. The old man lying on the hospital bed was breathing slightly, and then he tried his best to turn his head to look at Heros, and then spoke in a hoarse voice.
"I"
Heros was very smart, but he found that he was unable to speak out the series of words he had prepared to meet Prince Dolan until he actually met him.
"You look a lot like your father."
However, Prince Doran did not pay attention to Heros's speechlessness. He looked at the young man in front of him and seemed to see the son-in-law he had personally selected.
Prince Daolang coughed violently several times, his gray head shaking as if he might die at any moment.
Then his voice changed, and he asked in a hoarse but straightforward voice.
"Tell me about it, kid."
"What happened over there in King's Landing."
It had been several hours since Horos entered Prince Doran's bedroom for a secret conversation, and the sky above his head had gradually darkened.
Tristan stayed on the balcony on the second floor of the Flowing Water Garden, leaning on the railing, overlooking the aristocratic children below who were urged to eat by their wet nurse after playing around. Among them were his two sons and a daughter.
Tristan was still thinking about what Holos had just said, feeling slightly uneasy.
The inheritance of the Martell family, or the inheritance of most nobles on the continent of Westeros, is like this. The descendants of the collateral line will gradually differentiate and eventually become ordinary people.
For example, Prince Doran is now the Lord of Sunspear and the Prince of Dorne, while his siblings Oberyn and Yinlia are also princes and princesses.
And if Tristan's brother Quentin takes the throne, Tristan will also become a prince, but the children of Uncle Oberyn and Aunt Yinlia cannot be called princes or princesses of Dorne.
They will be slowly divided into ordinary Martell family members, until they become servants or warriors serving the family. Otherwise, the number of people in the family inheritance will be uncontrollably large.
However, His Highness Horos just said that his son will become the prince of Dorne in the future.
If the truth is told, Tristan must have thought about this issue before. After all, no one would turn a blind eye to it, so he must be telling lies.
But later this idea was given up as I gradually realized the reality.
It wasn't until what Kheros said just now that he rekindled Tristan's hidden ambition in his heart.
My brother was born a few years earlier than me, so I may not be worse than him in ability.
If he could surpass his brother and become his father's heir, wouldn't his son Morse be the future Prince of Dorne?
If you have to work hard for your son,
When ambition is aroused, the next step is to feel restless and uneasy.
But it is a pity that Tristan was only aroused by his ambition, but for a while he couldn't think of any good way to replace his brother and win his father's favor.
However, at this moment, the door to my father's bedroom suddenly opened.
Prince Doran was sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed out of the bedroom by his personal guards. Then Prince Doran announced a decision that surprised Tristan and even panicked him.
Prince Doran announced that he would give the title of Prince of Dorne to his grandson, Prince Horos Targaryen, who also had Dornish blood.
Next, Hroth will take full control of Dorne in his place, and the Martell family will also swear allegiance to Prince Hroth.
Prince Doran suddenly made such an unexpected decision, which really caught many people off guard.
However, this matter cannot be false. After all, it was announced personally by Prince Doran, who was bedridden after a long illness, and there was also his handwritten letter to prove it.
Therefore, the news that Prince Horos became the new Prince of Dorne spread quickly throughout Dorne as if it had wings.
"A century and a half ago, Dorne joined the Seven Kingdoms. The Martell family continued to rule Dorne in the name of the king on the Iron Throne, and still maintained the title of 'Prince of Dorne'."
"Can the title of prince be transferred to someone with a foreign surname?"
Prince Doran's decision is difficult to understand, but he has to implement it obediently.
After all, Prince Doran's rule over Dorne for so many years has already been deeply ingrained, and Prince Horos has a pure origin.
His mother was Queen Rhaenys, the daughter of Prince Rhaegar Targaryen and Princess Yinlia Martell.
Therefore, the legal theory that Horos inherited the title of Prince of Dorne from his grandmother is reasonable, just like Robert ascended the Iron Throne in the name of his grandmother Relle Targaryen. This is not a mechanical act.
Therefore, although many Dornish nobles had some doubts in their hearts, they did not openly oppose it.
After all, the Martell family has ruled Dorne for so many years, just like the Stark family has ruled the North, it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Anyway, Prince Heros has the blood of the Martell family and has a dragon. If he wants to be the Prince of Dorne, let him be.
Perhaps the most anxious person among them is Prince Quentin Martell, who is almost certain to be waiting for his father to die.
He never expected that someone would parachute down and take away his position, and this person was his nephew.
"Tristan, we can't sit still and wait for death!"
After Horos took control of Sunspear, Quentin anxiously found his brother Tristan.
