Chapter 131 Mouse

"If you are not in the habit of getting up late, Lord Renly, a servant will knock on the door on time before breakfast and take you to the dining room."

…

After the welcome banquet, Willas Tyrell, the heir to Highgarden and the next generation Duke of the River Bend, personally sent Renly to the residence arranged for him in the castle.

Walking in the quiet white corridor, this young man with ear-length brown hair said to the black-haired boy beside him: "After breakfast, it is the teaching time of Bachelor Lomis. Bachelor Lomis, you have already attended the banquet. I've seen him before, so I won't introduce him too much. Currently, he will teach me and Garland in two parts. Garland is still learning to read, and I have a slight interest in stargazing. If you like it too, Lord Renly. , you can join me. Of course, it is best to plan according to your current academic progress, maybe we can consult the bachelor tomorrow morning."

"Just call me Renly, no need to be so polite." Renly said.

"You are my grandmother's adopted son and the Duke of Dragonstone. I can't be so rude." The other party replied, and then said slightly jokingly: "Unless you want me to call you uncle?"

Renly laughed when he heard this, and the other party continued to speak.

"I need to learn etiquette with my mother for some time before noon. I think you will join me for this. In the afternoon, my father will meet with the lords from all over the river bend who have come to ask for instructions, and he will also deal with some civilian affairs in our family's territory. , During this period, I will always follow him. If you are interested, sir, you can come with us. There is no need to be shy. Father has ordered this before."

The young man speaks softly and has soft eyes. He looks very hospitable. He is wearing a brown leather coat that is very common among nobles. Except for the golden rose embroidered on his chest, he looks like a knight's attendant. .

According to what Renly learned at the banquet, he was indeed a knight's apprentice and was currently learning the ways of knighthood from the instructors of Highgarden.

"I will be practicing riding and spearmanship in the afternoon. I'm sorry that you can't join me, Lord Renly. You're not yet old enough. But you might be able to practice swordsmanship with my brother Garlan, of course. Your body can withstand a certain level of training. If you are interested, we can test it tomorrow."

Renly nodded when he heard the words, but said nothing. The other party continued to give some advice on the basic necessities of Highgarden. As he spoke, the golden rose on his chest slowly bloomed in Renly's sight, like a book following the wind. And moving books.

Finally, when they arrived at the door of the residence, the polite brown-haired boy bowed to the boy.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Lord Renly, and welcome to Highgarden."

Renly returned the gift, then watched the other person leave and touched his chin.

He felt that this Vilas was much more interesting than his father. He was already quite mature and steady at a young age, and his attitude was sincere and friendly. He did not have the pampering and arrogant temperament of the children of the great aristocracy at all.

"It's just a little too polite."

Thinking about it, he looked back to the room where he was assigned.

This room is much larger than his small room in King's Landing, but this does not lose the exquisiteness of the room. Looking at it, the milky white marble floor reflects the hazy light under the candlelight, and the surface is paved with brand new green Myr. The carpet was neat and square, without a trace of dust.

The boy standing at the door looked to the left side of his body, and the carved wooden door of the bathroom came into view, which was no different from the Red Fort.

In addition, there are reading tables, bedside tables, fireplaces, bookcases, exquisite silver-plated round mirrors, wardrobes, and even wine cabinets. At a glance, you can see that all kinds of furniture are available in the room. The bed placed deep in the room is not too big. , but it is enough to sleep him alone. The surface of the bed is covered with silver silk, with a goose feather mattress underneath. Light blue curtains cover the entire bed, making it look elegant and clean.

Everything you see is beautiful. The only pity is that the glass windows here are not as big as the balcony floor-to-ceiling windows of the Red Fort. Although they are not small, they look like an oval mirror because the glass is not It's not pure. The moonlight from outside penetrates in and shines on the milky white ground, making it appear hazy and trance-like.

This room is at the top of a pure white tower. When you open the window and look out, you can see a vast wilderness outside the huge castle. Now it is shrouded in the silent starry sky, and the fields of roses on the wilderness are swaying in the night wind.

It is said that the fields east of Highgarden are covered with golden roses like the Tyrell family's crest. The light is dim tonight, so it is difficult to see clearly, but Renly is looking forward to what he will see when the sun slowly blooms from the east. What a beautiful view you will get.

All in all, as a new arrival, he is very satisfied with everything so far, whether it is the people here or the environment here.

"It would be better if this thing didn't exist."

Muttering, he sat on the soft bedside and raised his left hand.

At this time, he was wearing a black velvet glove on his left hand, which made his originally petite hand look much longer. Now, the joints of the glove were constantly trembling. At a glance, it seemed that his fingers were Move around.

But it wasn't actually Renly who was moving.

After frowning, he took off the glove, and the change happened in vain.

Under the black glove was originally a thin white silk glove, but now that it was exposed, it seemed to have become a living creature that could move. After squirming and breaking free from the boy's hand, the white glove flapped its "wings" like a bird and kept flying around the room, looking very panicked.

Obviously, a glove cannot have any eyes, but after flapping for a while, the "bird" clearly found the exit in the room that was deliberately opened by the boy, so it quickly rushed over, and its back disappeared from sight not long after.

Renly then closed the open window tightly, blocking the cold wind outside.

Then he thought about it, turned around and dragged out a box under the bed, and opened it with the black iron key hanging around his neck.

This box was his "trash can", which Renly also brought when he left King's Landing, and was brought to the room by the servants in advance when he attended the banquet.

But now his behavior was not to check whether there were any missing items in it, but to observe something in it.

In this wooden box, there was a sealed glass bottle. The slightly blurred glass seemed to be less transparent, but a gray-haired mouse could be vaguely seen.

A dull mouse that did not move except for breathing instinctively.

However, it was not just a mouse...

After observing for a few times, Renly took out the glass bottle, then sat on the ground without caring about his image, holding the bottle with both hands and began to shake it vigorously.

With a crackling sound, the hazy gray figure was shaken around like a mess, but no matter how it was shaken, there was no screaming sound inside, so when the shaking stopped in the end, the mouse did not realize that it had turned into a petite white-haired hen.

Renly saw this and opened the bottle mouth and poked it inside with a dagger. The hen looked up at him and made a clucking sound, but there was no other reaction, so Renly closed the lid and started shaking it again.

So the hen turned into a toad, the toad turned into an apple, and the apple turned into an octopus...

With the constant shaking, the creature in the bottle changed in a thousand ways, like a ball of dough that could be kneaded and changed at will, and the only things that remained unchanged were its dull expression and some corresponding instincts.

Until the thing in the bottle turned into a floating gray energy ball, Renly stopped, and then stared thoughtfully at the gray substance swaying in the air for a moment before slowly turning back into a mouse...

The mouse is actually its original appearance, and the reason for its current transformation is very simple. He fed it the sprout that grew on the cushion of the carriage before.

About the listing, uh, today's editorial notice will be delayed, so the listing originally scheduled for this Friday is invalid. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be listed next Friday...
