Chapter 180 Renis

The conversation on the beach did not continue because there were many people drowning here and it was not a suitable place for communication. At the same time, a small boat came to pick up people on the sea level shrouded in darkness soon, so the two temporarily stopped talking and started running away. Eventually they managed to reach a ship anchored in the deep sea.

Under the dim butter lamp hanging from the ceiling, the narrow cabin swayed as the ship sailed, and the smell of burnt fat permeated the place, but it did not hinder the two of them from reminiscing.

"After returning from Dorne, I lived in King's Landing for a while. Later, I had a quarrel with Aegon, so I went to the Free Trade City."

"Why?"

"Of course it's because of someone who left without saying goodbye."

The woman sitting at the table has returned to her usual smug look. Her glances and smiles look quite strange, but her words still have the same hoarse female voice.

"At first I thought you were the Faceless One, so I went to the House of Black and White in Braavos, which is the headquarters of the Faceless One. Later, no one found you, and I became one of them."

There was no trace of embarrassment or shyness when she said this, and she looked calm and composed, which made Renly realize in a daze that for him, the memory may be more than a year ago, but for the person in front of him, it is already over forty years ago. for many years.

After more than 40 years of vicissitudes of life, what remains unchanged?

"What happened next?" he couldn't help but ask.

"Later, because of Raya, I returned to Westeros, and because Inis found clues, I faked my death and escaped and became Ada... You also know what happened after that."

As the young drowned man spoke, he raised his hand and touched the right side of his face.

"Raya's origin is very strange. She was hatched from a dragon egg in our family. When it was hatched, I was too close, so I was burned. Did you know that when she came out, her whole body was on fire? There were always strange things happening, either she suddenly shrunk or grew up all of a sudden. I was worried at first, but finally I brought her back to King's Landing, and these things never happened again. "

Renly frowned at this.

"So she's really dead?"

"I'm not sure."

Rhaenys shook her head and said: "Raya became unable to communicate after you died. I followed her for half of Westeros. In the end, I watched her whole body on fire. When I got closer, she had been burned to ashes. . But I think, since she has such a strange ability, maybe - maybe this is just an appearance? "

Renly was silent at this.

The other party didn't speak again.

The atmosphere in the cabin became dull because of this, until Renly raised his eyes and looked at each other again.

"What does she have to do with me?"

"I am not sure."

Rhaenys said: "But she looks a lot like you, I mean, very much like you back then."

As she said that, she seemed not to want to be immersed in this topic, so she turned to: "Then I suddenly appeared here. I don't know why, but I guess it has something to do with you. You can enter our world. , I think you can certainly bring people here.”

Renly was not sure whether what the other party said was correct, because he didn't know how much the birth of the Mark of Chaos had to do with his golden finger, but this was not important at the moment.

"I will find out what happened to Raya." He said slightly annoyed: "Even if she is dead, I still have to find out why. Besides, maybe she is not dead."

"I hope you are right." Rhaenys murmured in reply, and then changed the subject, breaking the somewhat solemn atmosphere.

"What about you now? Why do you look like this child? Or to save people? Who are you? Where do you come from?"

"Don't you think I'm always like this?" Renly raised his eyes and looked at him.

"It's hard for me to believe that I would fall in love with a child, so I don't think so." Rhaenys said this with a manly face, which made Renly feel a little strange, but he obviously couldn't answer the other party's question, so he asked: "What about you, what are you going to do?"

"Originally I planned to find you and ask if I could go back, but on the way I thought about it and realized there was nothing left to miss there. But I still want to see you and find out the truth, and then..." She finished her words. After some hesitation, Renly saw this and suggested: "If you haven't thought about it well, you can go back to Highgarden with me. You said you can do magic? I happen to be quite interested in this."

The other party looked at him when he heard this, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he nodded.

"That's fine until I don't find anything I'm interested in."

Renly smiled when he heard this, and then he suddenly asked: "That church?"

There was a series of questions behind this topic, and Renly thought that anyway, he should resolve this point now to avoid procrastination and embarrassment in the future.

The other party's answer was not what he expected.

"Don't worry, it's been more than forty years, and what should be let go has already been let go."

She chuckled softly as she spoke.

"When I was young, I was too impulsive and reckless, which made me suffer a lot, but those are things in the past. Thinking about it now, it is interesting, but also too naive - on the contrary, I have a negative attitude towards the world. History is curious, maybe you can help me with this?"

Renly was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Which period do you want to ask?"

"My own, of course."

"Your own? Your own ended in Dorne."

"What happened after I died in Dorne? What did Aegon and Visenya do?"

"It's roughly the same as what you've seen, except for some details, such as the birth of the Kingsguard." Renly replied, and then began to concentrate on explaining to the other party.

The boy's crisp words kept echoing in the narrow cabin, sounding quite pleasant, as if a thorough song was constantly lingering in the ears.

Sitting opposite the boy, Rhaenys supported her cheek with one hand, looking quietly at his focused expression, seemingly smiling and listening quietly, but in fact her mind was in a mess.

Let it go?

How could she let it go?

After she made that embarrassing decision, he suddenly left without saying goodbye, leaving nothing behind except a dragon egg she gave him, and not even a simple goodbye. How could she let it go?

She was unwilling and angry. She went back to Dorne to investigate and went to the North to find the Greenseer who was said to know everything. After finding no clues, she went to the Free Trade City to find the Faceless Ones. For this reason, she even joined them in person. In addition to enduring arduous training, she wanted to observe with her own eyes whether there was the person she wanted to find among those who were said to be nameless and had no identity and could change in a thousand ways.

For this reason, her husband broke up with her, her son was no longer close to her, and everything that had happened was gradually fading away. Her whole life changed because of this. Even though she was disfigured, she had to endure the disobedient Raya swaying in front of her, just because she felt that there might be clues in her, or that person would come to her one day in the future?

He did come to her, after she was no longer young and had long since turned waiting into a habit, when she was blinded by hatred...

Then, what was waiting for?

Recalling everything that happened that day, she looked at the hand under her body.

After washing off the potion used for disguise, the hand seemed to have returned to its original appearance, white and beautiful, with round fingertips and long and shiny nails. However, when I looked closely at it, I found that the hand gradually showed an old posture, the white and tight back of the hand with blue veins was wrinkled, the beautiful body gradually withered, and the fingernails seemed to be drained of all moisture and became dull and yellow...

Everything I saw that day has changed, including herself.

Her appearance has returned to the most beautiful appearance in her life. Her mentality has also become much younger, but aging has not left her far away. Instead, it has been entangled with her all the time, making her feel that walking is sometimes very laborious.

Calculate, how many days can I live?

Glancing at the young man's funny appearance who was posing as a little adult and constantly explaining, Renis couldn't help but smile.

So be it, she thought.
