Chapter 407: Green Falls Apart

"Shut up, you've been caught doing this, you have no right to quibble!"

Viserys yelled angrily.

No matter what the reason, a prince flirting with a noble daughter is simply trampling on the face of the royal family.

Aegon wanted to cry but had no tears, he felt very wronged.

He didn't even dare to touch a maid, how could he have the courage to flirt with a noble daughter.

Or Hightower who couldn't hide from him!

Alisson stood aside, looking at her son with self-blame in her eyes.

She couldn't help but scratch her index finger nail.

Her original intention was to let Aegon look at her first and choose a fiancée who met her status.

If there was no candidate, she would use a knockout drug to knock her out and fake the illusion of being in the same room with Selena.

Then she would discover it herself and solve the matter without anyone noticing.

Who would have thought that Harwin would show up halfway and mess things up.

And there was also the cunning man Ulwin Peake.

The drug given to Aegon was not a knockout drug at all, but a drug that Lys used to help him get aroused.

He almost made a big mistake!

"I really didn't mean to touch Selina, she bumped into me."

Aegon's head was about to explode, and he was forced to explain clearly.

"How dare you! Who else do you want to accuse?"

Viserys scolded immediately.

He was really angry and thought that his second son was not up to the standard.

It's okay to like women, it's human nature.

But men should have character, responsibility and commitment.

The eldest son slept with all the duchesses in the valley, who can find fault with it.

The second son got drunk and had sex, and he specifically teased the daughters of the great nobles, which was really outrageous.

It's better for Harwin to rape a maid, at least he can suppress it as a father.

His chest was heaving violently with anger, and Viserys glanced at the Hightower brothers in the hall.

Otto was calm and said nothing.

Mond's face was gloomy, and he paced back and forth restlessly.

But if you look closely, you will find something unusual.

Otto's eyes were deep, hiding a hint of shrewdness.

Mond seemed anxious, but there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

His original intention was for Hightower to continue to marry the next generation of the royal family to strengthen the relationship with the Iron Throne.

In the long run, imitate the Velaryon, Baratheon, and Arryn families, and marry Targaryen for generations.

In this way, Hightower can take root in King's Landing for a long time and revolve around the center of power.

Aegon flirted with his adopted daughter Selena, which was exactly what he wanted.

Viserys frowned, vaguely aware that something was wrong.

After a little thought, it was difficult to find a clue.

Looking at Lyonor again, he said comfortingly: "Young people will make mistakes, let him go down and reflect first."

Lyonor was smart and understood that this was the king trying to find a way out for both parties.

He raised his head and shouted at the eldest son: "Get out and sober up!"

After that, he moved his bloated body, personally helped the maid who was kneeling and crying, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will never let it go."

In his words and actions, the Prime Minister's fairness and strictness were fully demonstrated.

The maid nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and said excitedly: "I won't ask for it, I will be very obedient..."

"Don't be afraid, I will give you an explanation."

Lionor felt pity and ordered other maids to take her away.

This occasion is not suitable for a little maid.

A Kingsguard came forward, picked up the decadent Harwin, and dragged him out of the door.

Unintentionally, this scandal that made a lot of noise was turned over.

Lionor secretly breathed a sigh of relief and gave the king a grateful look.

As long as the royal family doesn't hold on, the eldest son can be saved.

It is not necessary to imprison him in the dungeon, or even confiscate the tools used in the crime.

Alisson's eyes flickered, and he tried to say, "Your Majesty, Aegon did not mean it."

At this point, we should try to get back on track.

Viserys was still furious, and asked, "His ugly appearance has been seen by many people, do you still treat him as a child?"

It is not known how rumors of royal scandals are spread outside.

"Your Majesty, Prince Aegon is young and frivolous, but there is still a way to remedy it."

Lyonor lowered his eyebrows and spoke at the right time.

The Prime Minister's face has been lost, and the face of the king must be saved.

As long as the girl's chastity is not defiled, there is room for maneuver.

Viserys listened carefully and agreed in his heart.

Otto stood up and said seriously, "Rumors are terrible. They are related to the dignity of the royal family and must be taken seriously."

"What do you mean?"

Viserys asked.

Otto pretended to think and said, "Selena was originally Prince Aegon's candidate for marriage. The two sides concluded a marriage and the rumors were self-defeating."

"Another marriage?"

Viserys was surprised.

Alisson hugged Helena tightly and interrupted, "Selena is a girl, and a victim. This can protect her reputation."

Helena stared at her mother blankly, her big eyes full of confusion.

She found a blind spot.

He glanced at Aegon and lowered his head silently.

If he couldn't say anything, he would get into trouble.

Viserys also found something wrong and asked, "Aegon is very repulsive to girls from Hightower?"

Otto immediately added, "Aegon's foreign race is Hightower."

Viserys narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes turned back and forth between Aegon and Otto.

At this time, he had already identified the loophole.

Aegon was rude to the girls from Hightower, and his words were full of impatience.

It just so happened that the girl he flirted with after getting drunk was a girl from the Hightower family, and they bumped into each other by coincidence.

Looking at the attitudes of his wife and Otto, it seemed that they couldn't wait for the two families to marry.

Viserys was stunned for a moment, as if he saw his child caught in a big net.

Otto coughed lightly and persuaded, "Your Majesty, Aegon and Selena are engaged, and both families are happy."

It not only covered up the scandal, but also made a strong alliance.

I believe the king has no reason to refuse.

Viserys hesitated and said, "It's a good suggestion. I will think about it seriously."

Although he was disgusted, it was still a good idea.

Lionor opened his mouth and closed it helplessly.

The eldest son could not protect himself, and he could not think of a better way.

The atmosphere gradually became weird, and the incident moved towards the direction of marriage between the two families.

Just when Viserys was thinking over and over again and was about to agree.

"No!!"

Aegon suddenly jumped up and shouted excitedly: "I don't want to marry Selena, I didn't defile her chastity!"

Seeing that things were going in the worst direction, he couldn't bear it anymore.

He was afraid of his mother and hated being instructed to educate all the time.

The girl from Hightower and his mother were like cast in the same mold, he would never marry her!

Alison turned around suddenly and scolded: "Aegon, you have no right to speak here!"

"You are discussing my marriage."

Aegon retorted with his hands and feet.

Alisson ignored it and said seriously: "If you don't marry Selena, how can you make up for her reputation? Which adult will be willing to marry her?"

Looking at the exhibition, there are very few girls suitable for Aegon to marry.

The nobles of Westeros are aware of the contradictions between the Black and Green parties, and are even more aware of the weakness of the Green Party.

As the first son of the queen, Aegon is naturally labeled as a representative of the Green Party.

No noble family is willing to marry their daughter to him.

Compared with the daughters of those small nobles, it is far better to marry with Hightower to stabilize the marriage relationship between Hightower and the royal family.

Aegon shook his head frantically and refused: "I won't marry, you can't force me."

"Aegon, this is such a good opportunity, why do you refuse?"

Otto stepped forward quickly, grabbed his grandson's collar, and said in a deep voice: "Unless you can find a better marriage partner, tell me, can you do it?"

He didn't know the conspiracy in this matter.

In order to keep it secret, Alisson didn't tell anyone.

But as a politician, it is an instinctive reaction to seek benefits and avoid harm.

Aegon looked helpless and could not find a reason to refute.

He only knew prostitutes in King's Landing.

Otto loosened his collar and whispered, "No one is chosen, so be quiet."

Seeing his second son being taught a lesson, Viserys felt bad and said in a muffled voice, "In that case, hurry up and get engaged."

"Okay, I'll inform Selina, the girl is crying hard."

The big stone in Alison's heart fell to the ground, and he quickly agreed.

The marriage was hastily decided.

Aegon was confused and almost stupid.

He just drank a little more wine, what's wrong with him?

Why marry a nasty Hightower woman?

He was angry and held back his resentment.

Aegon gritted his teeth and walked towards the hall.

"Where are you going?"

Alison asked hurriedly.

"I want to go back to the Twin Castles, which is my fiefdom."

Aegon walked quickly, his tone was unhappy.

"You still want to get engaged, you are not allowed to go anywhere."

Alison said anxiously.

Aegon pushed the door open with force, turned back and complained dissatisfiedly: "You decided the marriage, so you can hold it yourself, anyway, no one cares about my opinion."

After that, he walked out without looking back.

At this moment, he was lucky.

Thanks to his father for giving him a fiefdom and Rhaegar for building a castle for him.

Otherwise, he would not have a place to stay and could only rot in a brothel.

Alison watched her son leave angrily, calling his name.

The more she shouted, the faster Aegon walked.

"Mother, he is full of fear of you."

Helena watched the whole process and gave an objective evaluation.

"What did you say?"

Alison was stunned and thought he had heard it wrong.

Helena shook her head: "You have too much expectation of him."

Introverts are usually sensitive.

She has a thorough understanding of this farce.

"Mother, I won't attend the engagement party either."

Helena broke free from her embrace and spoke softly.

Alyson felt unfamiliar with his daughter and said subconsciously, "You didn't come to the party this afternoon."

"I'm not yet an adult. Let's talk about it when I'm 16."

Helena's eyes were clear and she stole a glance at her pregnant elder sister.

Rhaenyra held her belly with one hand and watched them fighting silently.

"I'm going back to rest."

Helena bowed and left.

According to her guess, her brother would not return to King's Landing in the near future. She planned to ride Dreamfire to Harrenhal to stay tomorrow morning.

The reason was simple, to avoid her mother and her elder sister.

"Are they all gone?"

Viserys frowned and almost lost his balance.

"Your Majesty."

Fortunately, Erik, who was guarding beside him, was quick to help the king who was hit hard.

Rhaenyra's face changed slightly, and she stepped forward to support her father.

Rhaegar was not there, so she had to take responsibility.

"I'm fine, it's settled, let's go and rest."

Viserys forced a smile and left with the help of Erik.

Rhaenyra's eyes were complicated, and she stroked her belly with both hands.

She also felt the undercurrent under the quarrel.

She sighed softly and thought that she would return to Dragonstone after the matter was over.

For a while, including Rhaegar and Aemond who were away, among the six children of the Dragon family, only little Daeron had not yet thought of leaving.

Such a good safe haven, but people rushed to stay away.

The royal family members walked out of the hall one after another, followed by a group of royal ministers.

In the end, only three Hightowers were left in the hearth hall.

Mond smiled, happy about the reunion of the family.

Until now, the Hightower family can only rely on marrying the royal family to improve their status unless they squeeze out the Tyrell family as the feudal lord.

Alison stood there in a daze, lost in her soul.

She didn't expect that her children would abandon her.

If she had known this, she probably shouldn't have held the exhibition or planned to marry into the family.

Matching Aegon and Helena to follow tradition might be a better choice.

Otto sighed, stepped forward and patted his daughter's shoulder, whispering: "Don't be sad, the dragons will grow up one day, and you are still their mother."

"Father, I want to do good for them."

Alison murmured to herself.

Otto said: "I know, I used to think so, so you are the queen of a country."

"Is that so?"

Alison's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes were dazed.
