278 Temptation
Looking at the towering red brick city wall in front of him and the densely packed soldiers patrolling with bows and arrows on the city wall, a thin middle-aged man couldn't help but pinch the hilt of his sword on his waist, and looked at a unique little girl beside him.
"Miss Renith, it's still time for us to turn back now."
The girl was wearing a short robe and trousers with a brown and yellow double-breasted striped waistcoat. She had a pretty figure and her long black hair was combed into many small braids, looking neat and beautiful.
Her dress is full of exotic style, and she looks like the daughter of an ordinary businessman from a free trade city-state. She just said something but has nothing to do with the businessman.
"Don't be afraid, Cialio, there are few people who have seen me, let alone in this King's Landing, I have dyed my hair and made-up, and no one will recognize me."
The girl's voice is pleasant and slightly immature, but her speech speed is not too fast and slow, but it proves that the master of the voice seems to be very mature.
"But you reported your real name."
The thin middle-aged man named Cialio reminded her.
After hearing this, the girl pursed her lips and smiled, "There are so many people in the trading city-state called Renes, and I'm not alone, so I'm safe."
To be honest, the Reese people in the free trade city-state like to take the name Reese, because many of the Reese people have Valyrian blood. They just lose weight in middle-aged Cialio, but they can't feel at ease about this.
The place in front of me is no better than elsewhere, but Westeros' political center, and he obviously did not forget that they were fighting here.
And the one in front of him is the daughter of the ruler of Bravos...
"That Renley's method is very abnormal. Miss Renis, the things we have inquired before have been proven long ago. He is not so easy to be deceived." The middle-aged guard persuaded again.
"It is because it is abnormal that I have to run here to observe it myself." Renis replied, and after saying that, he looked at the Red Fort ahead.
What she said was unusual was not the same as what the people around her thoughts.
There were many abnormalities on her body. When she heard the name Lanli, she always felt very different. So the girl guessed that Lanli might know something, or that it was simply related to the abnormality on her body.
So after spending a few days in Bravos, she resolutely took a boat to sneak up here, with her purpose of naturally testing and contact.
Of course, she was fully prepared before this. Not only was she disguised her appearance, but she had even prepared her identity long ago. She didn't think she would be exposed, but she also believed that as long as she could see that Lan Li, as long as Lan Li really had something to do with her, she would definitely find clues!
For no other reason, the reborn is so confident.
"But Miss Renis-" Silio next to him wanted to say something, but the girl waved her hand and blocked her back.
"Don't, someone is here!"
When the thin middle-aged man heard this, he looked up at his face and found that there were indeed people dressed as servants at the gate of the castle, which made him feel helpless, but he could only give up persuasion.
"You can't go in." The servant said to Silio after approaching.
This is a normal rule and one of the reasons why Guard Cialio thought it was risky. However, he didn't persuade the girl just now, and now there are others, so he naturally can't say much.
"I'm waiting for you outside, Miss, please be polite." He reminded with some advice.
The girl nodded when she heard this, and then followed the servant into the Red Castle.
The Red Fort is Westeros’ center of power and a huge fortress built by Targaryen after several generations of talent. The girl following the servant’s butt is actually very curious about this, because in her era, the castle had not been built yet.
After looking around, she didn't find anything unique about the castle. It was well-behaved, with no highlights, and was not very beautiful.
So she withdrew her gaze in a little disappointed manner and rushed to the road honestly.
The castle is very large, and the person you are looking for is not close to the city gate. As they keep moving forward, they pass by the magnificent Throne Hall and the towering Prime Minister's Tower, and turn around on the road between the fortress buildings, and finally enter a seemingly ordinary tower.
Compared to the bright environment outside, the inside of the tower was quite cool, and when the girl saw the owner of the tower, the coolness became even worse.
The cold ice blue eyes were like cold ice crystals under the deep sea. When they watched, they felt like the girl was poured with cold water from head to toe, with a faint majesty and oppression in it. After sitting upright at the desk, the other person seemed to be full of the momentum of a superior.
Renis had seen many people in high positions, and she was even one of them, but she had never seen such a person who seemed to have a truly majestic aura. This made her feel a little awkward. Her eyes, which were originally calm and confident, couldn't help but flash, and she stood in front of the desk, her head slightly lowered.
"My name is Renith, sir, thank you for your agreement with me."
"This is the first time I have seen a child come to visit me by himself. Where is your adult?"
The magnetic sound still sounds very kind, which doesn't match the aura of this person, which makes the nervous girl feel a little relieved. In fact, after many storms, she is not that fragile, but the momentum of the person in front of her is really unique, as if there is really a force emanating from her body, rather than the illusion of nothingness and ethereality.
"That's why I'm here, sir."
When he spoke, Reness's lower eyes were already raised, and his long black eyelashes were shaken and his beautiful light blue eyes were revealed. "My father is the captain of a Bravos merchant ship. He was detained in King's Landing because of war. This is the normal process and we have no complaints. But Valentine, a port operator, wanted to buy the spices on our ship at a very low price through various despicable means. My father was kidnapped and beaten seriously by a group of people because he was unwilling to sell. He is now lying in the hotel and unable to get up from the bed."
This was an excuse she had prepared for a long time, or it was not an excuse, but something that really happened. Many foreign merchant ships were seized, and there were indeed people from King's Landing who wanted to buy those originally expensive goods at a low price.
But the captain who was beaten was not her father, nor was the so-called port operator, but she secretly instructed him.
"Why not report to the patrol, or go to the Throne Hall to meet the king?"
The young man sitting opposite the desk asked casually, and he didn't seem to be interested, but the girl didn't care. All she wanted was to see this person.
"The capital garrison here only takes care of King Lin's own people, and no one wants to care about the affairs of outsiders, not to mention that we Bravos are still fighting with you. The respected Majesty Robert has not started the trial for half a month. We do not think he has free time now, at the same time..."
She said, lowering her head slightly, but her eyes were out of the corner of her eyes, but she stared at the change of expression of the other person, "We have sent you a letter before, sir, I think this letter can allow you to take care of some of us outsiders."
This was naturally a temptation, but the letter was indeed sent by their merchant ship. However, what made Reneth feel a little disappointed was that after she said this, she did not find anything abnormal in the other person's face.
"So who wrote that letter?" The questioning voice seemed a little impatient, as if it was lacking in interest.
Did I guess wrong?
The girl was puzzled secretly, and answered honestly on the surface: "We don't know. It was someone with a tire mark on her face that asked us to send it to you. He also said you would know what this letter means."
"Is that right?" the other party smiled, "I'm afraid he's going to disappoint him. I'm never interested in the kind of things that pretend to be clever but don't know what's so-called."
After he said that, he raised his hand on the table and said, "I will make the decision for your father, provided that the truth is indeed as you said."
This person's meaning was obviously to give away the guests, which made the girl who was originally looking forward to this meeting very depressed, but she didn't want to stay for many.
"Thank you, Lord Lan Li, then I'll take your leave first, please be more worried."
After giving a gift, the girl walked out the door honestly. The servant who had taken her in before had been waiting outside. When she saw her coming out, she didn't say anything. She led the way and finally sent her out of the castle.
The middle-aged guard who was waiting quietly outside breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and then hurriedly walked up to pick him up.
"Miss Renis, is things going well?"
"It's not going well." The girl replied in a depressed mood: "I can't see anything at all."
"Just let your subordinates do this kind of thing, there is no need to take risks in person."
"You don't understand."
The girl said without any objection that after thinking about her experience, she found that there was no clue at all, which really hurt her enthusiasm. She was very excited for a moment.
However, she did not intend to give up. After walking in the hotel for a while, she said unwillingly: "I ask people to collect more information about this Lanli."
"We have collected all his intelligence." The thin middle-aged man reminded her.
"We need to dig deeper."
