Chapter 269 Tas Island

The Isle of Tarth is located in the eastern ocean of the Stormlands, separated only by a strait from Storm's End, the headquarters of the Baratheon family.

The lord family that rules Tas Island has the surname Tas. It is not clear whether the island was named after the lord, or whether the lord named it after the island. In short, the family is loyal to Baratheon in the Stormlands and is a vassal of Stannis, but they are equally polite to Renly who visits.

"House Tarth welcomes you, Lord Renly."

A silver-haired old man dressed as a steward said this when he saw Renly.

It was just after noon, and the sun was shining brightly above our heads, shining brightly on the beach below.

After wandering on the sea for several days, Renly was lucky enough to encounter a fishing boat out of Tas Island, wandering around, and finally wandered to this island.

This route is not too far off, because Tarth Island is not particularly far from Dragonstone or King's Landing.

"I take the liberty of visiting, but I wonder where Lord Selwyn Tarth is at this time?"

Renly asked, and the name he asked was the contemporary Earl of Tarth, the lord of this place.

"Lord Stannis has summoned Lord Selwyn to King's Landing to prepare for war." The steward replied, and couldn't help but glance at the slovenly prisoner that Renly was "carrying" in his hands.

Prince Viserys, who is well-known among the Westeros aristocracy, does not look like a prince at this time. His clothes are dirty and wrinkled, his hair is as messy as seaweed, and his face looks frightened. He seems to be very afraid of everything around him, and Apparently he had been frightened.

Renly's image at this time was not very good. He had been wandering in the sea for too long and his clothes were very dirty. However, his expression was very calm. In addition, the old man in front of him had met him once when he went to King's Landing, so he didn't Proof of identity is required.

"Who's in charge here now?"

Renly asked as he threw the prisoner in his hand at the feet of a guard behind the steward, causing the prisoner to scream like a pig but also startled the people around him.

"It's Lord Selwyn's heir, Miss Brienne Star." the steward replied.

Renly nodded when he heard this but said nothing.

The name seemed a bit familiar to him. After thinking about it carefully, he found that it seemed to be a female knight nicknamed Beauty in the show in his previous life. Time had passed so long that he didn't have much of an impression. She seemed to have survived to the end. I remembered that she was a decent person. , seems to be loyal to "Renly".

However, unlike "Renly", Renly is not the Lord of the Stormlands, so now, it is obviously impossible for the heiress of Tarth Island to be loyal to him anymore, otherwise it will break the rules.

Renly didn't pay much attention to this. He came to Tarth Island this time just for a stopover. Although he had a certain interest in the original characters, he didn't have many, let alone the excitement of meeting the characters in the plot. ——

Not long ago, he almost strangled Daenerys, the mother of dragons in the original book, to death with a "whip."

"I hope she won't leave any psychological shadow." Muttering secretly, Renly followed the steward towards the castle of the Tarth family. He thought it would not take long, but ended up walking for a whole afternoon. The steward claimed that he was in There was a tax collector nearby, otherwise it would have been impossible to run to the west of the island and meet Renly.

Tas Island is huge, with mountains, flowing water, lakes and waterfalls, valleys and plains...

Riding your horse forward slowly, you feel as if you have entered a small piece of land, and keep walking eastward along a stream. You can often encounter village windmills and busy farmers on both sides of the road.

The air here is fresh and the scenery is very beautiful. It is even the most beautiful island Renly has ever seen.

Relatively speaking, the Tas family's castle, Dulin Hall, is relatively ordinary. It is a square castle standing on the hills of the valley, with a regular appearance and nothing special.

Brienne Tarth, the current head of the Tarth family, seems more ordinary, or a bit ugly.

He is fifteen or sixteen years old, with a big frame, broad shoulders and tall, but flat chest. His yellow hair is as messy as straw, his lips are thick and his teeth are protruding. His face is round, rough and covered with freckles.

Brienne also seemed very nervous when receiving guests. There was obviously a lot of vibrato when speaking, and she seemed to have a particularly low self-esteem.

Renly had long forgotten what Brienne looked like in his past life, but she was definitely much prettier than the one in front of him. In his early years, Renly tended to judge people by their appearance. If he met this person, he would definitely feel weird, but since then After acquiring spiritual characteristics, he now basically ignores the appearance of people when looking at them, and pays more attention to the target's heart when he meets them.

Then he discovered that this girl's heart was completely opposite to her ugly appearance. It was clean, pure, and without any scheming. Just like the most beautiful eyes in her body, they were big, blue, and full of innocence.

"Lady Brienne is as beautiful as a baby."

During the welcome banquet, Renly couldn't help but praise him, which made the person involved feel embarrassed. Others around him were puzzled by this. They looked at the girl who looked even more ugly because of her red face, thinking that the distinguished guest was speaking sarcastically.

However, this topic did not continue. Renly only admired this person. The guests at the banquet seemed to have the same "inferiority" and were unwilling to mention the heiress of their lord. Relatively speaking, they were more curious about Lanly. The sloppy prisoner brought here.

Renley did not reveal the true identity of the captive, but the characteristics of silver hair and purple eyes were very obvious. It was inevitable to ask questions. Renley did not say much about this, but claimed that he was lucky to meet the ship this person was on at sea, and he caught him because he suspected his identity, but he was not sure who he was.

He did not intend to conceal it, but there was no need to say more. Others did not dare to ask more about it, but they all had their own guesses in their hearts.

The welcome banquet was quite harmonious. That night, Renley wrote a letter to King's Landing through the maester of the Tars family, detailing the captives in his hands at the time, and proposed that the Royal Council make corresponding arrangements and strategic plans for this.

Then, under the arrangement of the chief steward of the Tars family, he temporarily lived in a simple but dry room in the castle. He originally planned to set off again the next day, but he did not expect that he suddenly encountered a special situation that night.

Or rather, it was not that he encountered a special situation, but this island.

…

The rainstorm slapped against the narrow window of the tower room, and the rustling sound of the trees swaying in the wind made it seem chaotic. Standing at the window and staring at everything outside, Renly felt quite strange.

This storm came suddenly, which was not a normal situation. He instinctively thought of the curse remaining in his body.

But it was not long since the last time the curse broke out. According to past experience, it should still be in the "cooling period"?

In addition, Renly had tested it in the dungeon. This curse could only break out when he was in the sea, and now he was standing on land...

"Maybe it's not because of me? This is just a normal storm?"

He murmured his guess, but his intuition made him think that this guess was wrong.

But this matter didn't seem to be a big deal. After observing it for a while, Renly didn't care much and went back to rest.

As a result, when he woke up the next day, he found that the storm outside had not stopped. At the same time, there seemed to be constant sounds coming from the deep rain outside the window. He listened carefully but couldn't hear the specifics. It seemed that it was just the sound of the wind and the forest, but it made Renly feel uneasy.

There are only two chapters today. In addition, I haven't read the book reviews and chapter reviews for a while. If you want to find me, please go to the post I posted. I may forget to reply, but I will read it. I finally quit reading the comments in the book review area in this chapter, because there are all kinds of messy replies. After reading them, it is easy to be infected by emotions, which affects the state...
