1 Chapter 1: Crown Prince for a day?
Westeros Continent.
Aegon the Conqueror defeated the Seven Kingdoms with his sisters and wives, Queen Visenya and Queen Rhaenys.
The continent is united.
Beginning with Aegon's accession to the throne, it is called Aegon's First Year, which is the year 1AC.
Take the first year as the limit.
The years before unification were AC and the years after unification AC.
...
111 years BC.
Early summer, early morning.
The capital of Westeros, King's Landing.
On the eastern side of the Red Fort, the wall abuts the coast.
Inside the wall, there is a small garden inaccessible to foreign ministers.
"White deer, dirty handkerchief, bear in the sea..."
A boy of five or six years old, with silvery blonde hair and purple pupils, sat leaning against a thick weirwood tree.
He muttered something, bored.
"Another nightmare, without end."
His name was Baelon Targaryen, a true bloodline of dragons.
His father is Viserys Targaryen, the fifth king of Westeros, Master of the Iron Throne.
""Your Highness Baelon, your birthday celebration is about to begin, and the queen is calling,"
An assistant came over and reminded the little prince in a low voice.
Baelon raised his head; his face was thin and white as paper, and there were thick dark circles under his large, melancholy eyes.
He looked at the assistant and said in a low voice, "I said I don't like birthday celebrations."
The attendant clasped his hands and tried to force a smile: "I'm sorry, your highness, but the queen is... I understand."
"Very well, I will do that. Go."
Baelon nodded and, without embarrassing the attendants caught in the middle, stood up and entered the Red Castle under the guidance of the other party.
He was the first son of King Viserys.
His mother is the late Queen Emma Ayling, who died in childbirth.
His birthday is also the anniversary of his biological mother's death.
So...
I am truly grateful to the current queen, Mrs. Allison Hightower, for being able to celebrate my birthday every year.
...
The interior of the Red Fort is very large, majestic, and solemn.
Upon reaching a certain room on the upper floor, a child's cry came from the open door.
Baelon waved the attendees away and walked toward the door.
In the room, a beautiful young woman dressed in gorgeous clothes was holding a crying little boy.
At her feet was a little girl drooling over the cake.
Seeing Baelon's thin figure from the corner of her eye, Allison immediately turned around and apologized: "Aegon is hungry for cake. If you don't come, I won't be able to convince him anymore."
Note: Westerners are used to using this word. Descendants are named after their ancestors.
Baelon entered the room: "It doesn't matter, just give it to him if he wants to eat. How much can he eat?"
"You really seem like a big brother, Baelon."
Allison handed Aegon over. The assistant next to him took the initiative to take his little hand and led him to sit on the low table.
He said carefully, "Your father has government business to attend to, and Rhaenyra went somewhere to have fun. This year, I will celebrate your birthday."
"Let's turn off the candles and make a wish first."
Baelon remained silent.
He blew out the birthday candles in unison, clasped his hands, and closed his eyes.
He suffers from frailty, has a quiet personality, and rarely speaks.
Due to the difficult birth, his biological mother Emma was forced to give birth by cesarean section.
She didn't allow him to have a good body either.
Before she was three years old, he cried only once at birth.
The rest of the time, he spent in a coma, relying on breast milk to maintain nutrition every day.
Once the bachelor thought that he would not survive "the next day," so he also earned the reputation of being a "one-day crown prince."
Fortunately, he did not die young.
When he was three years old, he woke up from a coma under the treatment of a foreign witch.
However, he was still in poor health.
At the same time, there is a side effect.
Frequent nightmares.
Some strange, fragmentary bits always appear while he sleeps.
There are dragons, fire, war...
everything is scary.
He often woke up startled, which worsened his already weak body and depressed him mentally for a long time.
"I want to eat, give it to me quickly!"
Suddenly, Aegon's voice rang out, and Baelon subconsciously raised his head.
Paji:
A fat little hand inserted itself into the cake and, as he stirred, brought out crumbs.
A spoonful of cream hit Baelon directly in the face.
"God! Take care of Aegon."
Allison quickly scolded the assistant for not taking care of him properly; she took out a tissue to wipe Baelon and explained:
"I'm so sorry, Aegon is a naughty monkey. If you don't like cake, Rega enjoyed the queen's service and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, my brother likes to eat; we can share a piece."
Allison looked at Rega with a calm face, and then she looked at the cake as she held it in her hands.
There was a moment in my heart when I couldn't contain myself.
Fortunately, a voice broke the damn atmosphere.
"Queen, the king is discussing your hunting matter, and he asked you to come."
A knight with a sword, dressed in silver armor and a white robe, walked to the door and reported with a solemn expression.
This is a white knight, the King's Royal Guard.
There are seven members of the Royal Guard, who are completely loyal to the king and obey any order from the king.
Because he wears a white robe, he is called the White Knight.
"OK, I will go"
Alison looked at Baelon apologetically and said in a low voice, "Your father called me, and I have to go there immediately. If you have any gifts you want, you can tell me now."
Baelon answered clearly.
He seemed like he was thinking about something: "If it's true, I hope to take fewer medicines; it's very painful."
Allison smiled reluctantly, "You have to ask your father about this."
After that, she got up and left with the white knight.
Don't forget to tell the attendees to take good care of the princes and princesses and not to overeat.
Allison came out, and the little princess, who was sitting on the side picking up cake crumbs from the floor to eat, turned to look out the window.
She said carelessly: "Don't disturb the sleeping beast."
Rega gave him a strange look.
The little princess is Helena, Queen Allison's daughter, who turns 2 this year.
They don't have much contact.
According to rumors from the audience, Helena seems to be different from normal children.
She always immersed herself in her own world in solitude.
She talks nonsense nonchalantly and speaks in a daze.
It seemed that the assistants were right.
As Allison walked away from her, Baelon turned his attention to Aegon, who was feasting on.
"Do you really like to eat?"
Baelon walked toward Aegon and asked in a low voice.
Aegon didn't even look at it; he casually took out a piece of butter, stuffed it into Helena's hand, and continued eating.
Seeing this, Baelon raised the corners of his lips and said, "You are such a good brother for not forgetting to share a piece of cake with your sister. She deserves a reward."
After hearing the reward, Aegon looked at him with clear stupidity in his eyes.
"Eat whatever you want; I'll give it to you"
Baelon reached out to touch the back of Aegon's head and pressed the cake hard on the table.
Bang:
Little Aegon smashed his entire face into the greasy cake, causing the attendees on the side to exclaim.
Helena watched this scene curiously, licking the cream with her small tongue.
Baelon released Aegon and walked toward her.
Hands caressing Helena's silver hair.
"Your Highness Her Baelon, please don't do this; the queen will be angry."
The attendant was surprised and, while cleaning Aegon's stains, pleaded for the little princess.
Baelon ignored her.
He just rubbed Helena's little head.
"You have to get food yourself. Don't pick up food from the ground or food given to you by others."
"Brother hee hee~"
Helena didn't know why; she clapped her hands and laughed at Aegon, who had butter all over his head and face.
"Silly."
Baelon removed the hand that was wiping away the cream, walked around Aegon, who began to cry, and left the room.
