Chapter 403 The Strange Uncle Who Seduced the Little Girl

Godswood, backyard garden.

Dense vegetation grows, towering pines and cypresses are arranged in rows, dotted with dragon statues and fountains.

Over a large open space, adjacent awnings are built.

Noble men who have not yet met each other gather together to discuss interesting things.

Under the largest awning, Viserys looked around and asked, "Where is Helena?"

"The princess may still be preparing."

Corliss responded lightly around a basin of ice.

Viserys frowned and said unhappily, "Being late is not a good habit."

Corliss scooped up a handful of ice and ground it with his hands, fully feeling the coolness, and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, if you were asked to choose treasures from a pile of dregs, you would come even later."

As he said that, he rubbed some ice chips into the wine cup and tasted it in small sips with his mind immersed.

He did not have the blood of Targaryen, and was not afraid of the high temperature in the summer.

The coolness rushed to his head, and Corliss took a breath of cold air: "Nothing is more enjoyable than drinking a sip of iced summer red in the middle of summer!"

Viserys looked at it for a while, feeling quite painful: "The Dorne War has started, and summer red is hard to buy."

"Relax, the dragon will clear the obstacles for you."

Corliss is very confident.

His eldest son went to the battlefield of Stormland. Two dragons plus the entire Stormland force are more than enough to deal with the invading Dorne army.

The reason why the Dornish are tenacious is the hot desert environment.

In the Vulture Mountains and Dorne, soldiers from other regions of Westeros may not be able to exert their strength.

Once Dorne loses the living environment that it has been familiar with since childhood, it will be like a shark on the shore, and it will be difficult to hurt people.

Viserys shook his head and laughed: "Aren't you always cautious and pay the most attention to war?"

"Unknown wars are terrible, and wars with predicted results are as simple as sailing with understanding the weather."

Corliss looked as if it should be.

Thinking that the Three Women's Kingdom had been destroyed, Viserys was greatly relieved, and a sense of heroism rose from his heart.

He looked around and called the servants to order: "Go find Helena and don't let the adults wait."

Corliss glanced and continued to grind ice.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Viserys complained with a wry smile: "I wish I didn't have to worry about my children."

"His Majesty Jaehaerys has been worrying about his children all his life. This may also be the tradition of Targaryen."

Corliss teased and said meaningfully: "And the more you worry, the less likely you will have a good result."

Viserys was stunned when he heard this and didn't know how to answer.

Being pointed by Corliss, he suddenly thought of those aunts who had passed away.

It seems that their endings were not very good.

Viserys' heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help shouting: "Go call Helena and ask her to see her father."

He didn't approve of holding the so-called Girls' Day exhibition from the beginning.

Aegon is a boy, so he can just choose a big noble family for marriage.

Helena is a girl, young, why should she worry about getting married?

…

Not far away, beside a fountain in a pine forest.

Helena sat on the stone steps, holding a purple flower in her hand, picking petals one by one.

As she moved, she muttered something.

"The mirror reflects the opposite side..."

Tap tap...

A sound of footsteps came, accompanied by the obstruction of two female companions, disturbing the quiet atmosphere.

Helena instantly came to her senses and turned her head to check who was coming.

In her eyes, Leila and Jasmine were holding hands, blocking a black-haired man.

Urwin looked embarrassed and explained carefully: "I am here to see Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I have no ill intentions."

Standing on tiptoe and noticing Helena's attention, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Helena retracted her eyes, rubbed her bald neck, and whispered: "A bridge is waiting for you..."

Under the defense of his two female companions, Urwin could only stand ten meters away from the fountain and said anxiously: "Princess, please condescend to chat with me for a few words."

In the morning, he was not summoned to the throne room.

Taking advantage of the princess being alone, it was a godsend opportunity.

To deal with such a young girl who is not experienced in the world, in addition to coercion and inducement, the best way is to cheat.

Helena sat sideways, stretched out her hand to scoop up the spring water, and said lightly: "Just say it if you want to."

Looking at that look, it seems that if you don't say it now, there will be no chance in the future.

Urwin will not let the opportunity go, pretending to be a gentleman, saying: "Princess, I am the Earl of the Peck family..."

Briefly introduce your background, reveal your wealth from the side.

Helena was unmoved and was still trying to catch the fat koi in the spring water.

Being treated so lightly, Urwin's eyes flashed with a haze, and he tried hard to maintain a good image.

He knew that noble ladies liked this kind of pretty boy the most.

Urwin coughed lightly and knelt on one knee: "As soon as I saw you in Harrenhal, I was obsessed with you. I traveled thousands of miles to King's Landing to see you again."

Helena said seriously: "You got what you wanted, congratulations."

Urwin was speechless for a moment and changed the subject: "Princess, the king and queen are worried about your marriage. I dare to propose to you and hope to win your favor."

Helena sighed and said sadly: "Lord Urwin, you are not good-looking, but your dreams are very lofty."

"I am sincere."

Urwin became more and more courageous, thinking that he had to spend a lot of money, and gritted his teeth and said: "As long as you are willing to marry me, I can let you choose one of the three castles of the family."

Looking at the entire River Bay, the Peake family is also a family in the forefront.

The daughters of the Peake family have married with wealthy nobles such as Redwyne, Rowan, and Hightower.

In addition to their cunning style of doing things, the three castles are the foundation of the family.

Helena fluttered her eyelashes and counted with her fingers: "One for me, Aemond, Daeron..."

"Princess, what are you talking about?"

Urwin's eyes were straight, and he didn't hear clearly.

Helena shook her head: "Nothing, I'm wondering which castle really belongs to your family."

The three castles family seems glorious, but there is no lack of dirt behind it.

The Peake family originally had only one castle, Star Shuttle City on the border of Dorne.

About a thousand years ago, the Gardener family of the King of the River Reach conquered the disobedient Manderly family.

After the war, the Manderly family was expelled from the River Reach and lost their castle along the Mander River.

——Dunstonbury.

The castle was taken over by their mortal enemy, the Peake family.

Later, the Manderly family fled all the way to the remote North and built the current White Harbor in imitation of Dunstonbury.

This is the second castle obtained by the Peake family.

The third castle is a family castle that disappeared in the long river of history.

——White Garden City.

The real history cannot be investigated, but it is not difficult to know from the stories circulated among the ancient nobles of the River Reach.

The original family of White Garden City lacked male members in one generation, and the title and clan land were inherited by women.

The then Earl Peake married him and occupied White Garden City by taking advantage of his heir's right to take the surname.

The skillful plundering of generations laid the foundation for the superficial glory of the Peake family.

When the private affairs of his ancestors were hinted at in person, Ulwin held back the swear words on his lips and said cruelly: "Princess, one castle is not enough. I can give you both castles except Star Shuttle City."

From the news, it can be seen that the black and green parties have been peaceful, but the queen and Princess Rhaenyra often have friction.

The crown prince has the right to inherit the Iron Throne and owns Harrenhal and the unfinished prince's palace.

Princess Rhaenyra is pregnant with an heir and owns Dragonstone, the family land of the Targaryen.

Now that the three women's kingdoms have been broken, Myr and Lys have also fallen into the hands of the crown prince.

On the other hand, the Green Party had only Prince Aegon, who owned a twin castle far away in the Stepstone Islands.

He took out two castles at once, and he didn't believe that a little girl would remain indifferent.

Helena was surprised and said, "Two castles?"

She didn't expect that the other party would be so willing to give them out.

Ulwin nodded vigorously: "As long as you agree to the proposal, the two castles will be handed over to you."

Beautiful words.

If there is an heir, he can also use the methods of his ancestors to take back the castle with the right to take the surname.

And he married a real Targaryen princess.

Not to mention that he entered King's Landing as a royal son-in-law and squeezed into the center of power.

The princess herself has an adult dragon.

Whoever marries her, his descendants will have the blood of Targaryen and the talent to become a dragon rider.

The sea snake Corliss has already set a good example in this regard.

Just when Ulwin was complacent and dreaming of the success of his plan,

Helena refused straightforwardly: "The castle is indeed a great gift, but you don't have a dragon."

"Princess, as long as you marry me, our descendants will have dragons!"

Ulwin accidentally spoke the truth.

Helena tilted her head and said directly: "This is your idea, get dragons through me?"

How many nobles in Westeros have this idea.

After his trick was exposed, Urwin was furious and stood up: "Princess, the queen needs allies. No one in Westeros dares to form an alliance with you. It is the right choice for you to marry me."

"Why does my mother need allies?" Helena's eyes sparkled.

Urwin said bluntly: "Of course it is to fight against Prince Rhaegar, otherwise when the king dies, there will be no good days for you."

"Brother."

Helena was slightly distracted, lowered her head and said to herself: "So you all have such ridiculous ideas."

Through the previous conversation, she had heard that the other party knew her mother.

Thinking of the cousin Selina that Mond Hightower had prepared for Aegon.

I couldn't help but suspect that Urwin was the marriage partner chosen by my mother for me.

"Just because of those unfounded assumptions?"

Helena frowned slightly.

Urwin even added fuel to the fire, shouting, "I work for Her Majesty the Queen, and she promised to give me a chance to marry you."

"I don't believe it!"

Helena screamed and retorted, "My mother's vision is not that bad."

Helena's not-so-rich chest and abdomen rose and fell, and she frowned and said coldly, "Wait here, I'll be back soon."

After that, she left her two worried female companions and strode away.

Urwin was frightened and wanted to follow, but was stopped by Leila and Jasmine who looked at him unkindly.

...

Helena walked quickly, returned to Maegor's Tower in a rage, and went straight to her bedroom.

For some reason, her mind was unusually clear.

She was sure that Earl Peake had bad intentions and lied all the time.

So.

Bang——

Pushing the door open, Helena walked straight to the balcony and took off the long summer hanging on the wall.

The sword was unsheathed with a swish, and a cold light flashed.

Helena looked serious and muttered: "Can't release Menghuo, kill him!"
