Chapter 276 Testing

Looking at the towering red brick wall in front of him and the soldiers patrolling with bows and arrows on the wall, a thin middle-aged man couldn't help but tighten the hilt of the rapier on his waist, and looked at a little girl wearing unique clothes beside him.

"Miss Renis, we still have time to turn back now."

The girl was wearing a short robe and trousers with a brown double-breasted striped waistcoat over the short robe. She had a delicate figure and her long black hair was braided into many small braids, which looked neat and beautiful.

Her dress was full of exotic style. She looked like the daughter of a merchant from a free trade city-state, but the words she said had nothing to do with merchants.

"Don't be afraid, Syrio. Few people have seen me, let alone in King's Landing. I dyed my hair and put on makeup. No one will recognize me."

The girl's voice was pleasant and slightly immature, but her slow speaking speed proved that the owner of the voice seemed to be very mature.

"But you gave your real name."

The thin middle-aged man named Syrio reminded her.

The girl smiled after hearing this, "There are so many people named Rhaenys in the trade city-states, and I am not the only one left. Don't worry."

To be precise, it is the Lys people in the free trade city-states who like to take the name Rhaenys, because many of them have Valyrian ancestry. But the thin middle-aged Syrio can't rest assured about this.

This place is no different from other places, but it is the political center of Westeros, and he obviously hasn't forgotten that they, Braavos, are fighting fiercely with this place.

And the person in front of him is the daughter of the ruler of Braavos...

"That Renly's methods are very abnormal, Miss Rhaenys, and the things we have inquired about before have already proved that he is not so easily deceived." The middle-aged guard persuaded again.

"It is precisely because it is abnormal that I want to come here to observe it myself." Rhaenys replied, and then looked at the Red Castle in front of her.

The unusual she said is not the same as what the people around her think.

There were many abnormalities on her body, and she always felt very different when she heard the name Renly, so the girl guessed that Renly might know something, or it might be related to the abnormality on her body.

So after spending a few days in Braavos in a restless manner, she resolutely took a boat and sneaked here, the purpose was naturally to test and contact.

Of course, she had made full preparations before this. Not only was her appearance disguised, but her identity was also prepared long ago. She didn't think she would be exposed, and she also believed that as long as she could see that Renly, as long as that Renly was really related to her, then she would definitely be able to find clues!

There was no other reason, the reborn was so confident.

"But, Miss Rhaenys--" Syrio next to her wanted to say something, but was blocked by the girl's hand.

"Don't say but, someone is coming!"

The thin middle-aged man raised his eyes and looked in front of him when he heard the words, and found that there was indeed a servant dressed as a servant walking towards them at the gate of the castle, which made him a little helpless, but he could only give up persuading.

"You can't go in." The servant approached and said to Syrio.

This is a normal rule, and it is also one of the reasons why the guard Syrio thinks it is risky. However, he failed to persuade the girl just now, and now that there are others around, he naturally cannot say much.

"I'll wait for you outside, lady, please be polite." He reminded meaningfully.

The girl nodded after hearing this, and then followed the servant into the Red Castle.

The Red Castle is the power center of Westeros, and it is also a huge fortress built by Targaryen after several generations. The girl following the servant's buttocks is actually very curious about it, because in her era, the castle was not actually built.

But after looking left and right, she did not find anything unique about the castle. It was regular, there was nothing special about it, and it was not very beautiful.

So she withdrew her eyes with a little disappointment and hurried on her way honestly.

The castle is very large, and the person they are looking for is not close to the city gate. As they kept moving forward, they passed by the magnificent throne room and the towering Prime Minister's Tower, and turned around on the road between the various fortress buildings, and finally entered a tower that looked ordinary.

Compared to the bright environment outside, the interior of the tower was quite cool, and when the girl saw the owner of the tower, this coolness became even worse.

The pair of cold ice-blue eyes were like cold ice crystals under the deep sea. When they looked at the girl, she felt like she was poured with a basin of cold water from head to toe. There was a hint of majesty and oppression in them. Sitting behind the desk, the other person seemed full of the momentum of a superior.

Renis had seen many people in high positions, and she had even been one before, but she had never seen such a person who seemed to have a truly majestic aura, which made her feel a little awkward. Her originally calm and confident eyes couldn't help but flicker at this time. She stood in front of the desk with her head slightly lowered.

"My name is Renis, sir, thank you for agreeing to see me."

"This is the first time I've seen a child come to visit me on his own. Where is your parents?"

The magnetic voice sounded very kind, which was not quite consistent with the aura of this person, and made the nervous girl calm down a little. In fact, she was not that fragile after many storms, but the aura of the person in front of her was really unique, as if there was really a force emanating from his body, rather than the illusion of nothingness.

"This is exactly why I came here, sir."

Rhaenys's lowered eyes had already raised as she spoke, and her long black eyelashes fluttered, revealing a pair of beautiful light blue eyes that had regained her confidence. "My father was the captain of a Braavos merchant ship. He was imprisoned because of the war. They were detained in King's Landing. This was a normal procedure and we had no complaints. However, the harbormaster Valentine used various despicable means to buy the spices on our ship at very low prices. My father was killed by a group of people because he was unwilling to sell. He was kidnapped and severely injured, and he is now lying in the hotel unable to get out of bed.”

This was the excuse she had prepared long ago, or it was not an excuse, but what really happened. Many foreign merchant ships were impounded, and there were indeed people from King's Landing who wanted to buy those originally expensive goods at a lower price.

It's just that the captain who was beaten was not her father, and the one who beat the people was not the so-called port attendant, but she secretly instigated it.

"Why don't you report it to the patrol, or go to the throne room to meet the king?"

The young man sitting across from the desk asked casually, seemingly uninterested, but the girl didn't care. All she wanted was to see this person.

"The city guards here only take care of King's Landing's own people. No one wants to interfere with the affairs of outsiders, not to mention that we in Braavos are still at war with you. Honorable Your Majesty Robert has also not started a trial for half a month. , we don’t think he’s free right now, and at the same time…”

As she spoke, she lowered her head slightly and stared at the other person's expression changes from the corner of her eyes, "We sent you a letter before, sir. I think this letter will allow you to take care of us outsiders. "

This was naturally a test, but the letter was indeed sent by their merchant ship. However, what made Rhaenys feel a little disappointed was that she didn't find anything unusual on the other person's face after saying this.

"Then who wrote that letter?" The questioning voice was slightly impatient and seemed to lack interest.

Did I guess wrong?

The girl secretly wondered, but on the surface she answered honestly: "We don't know, but a man with tire marks on his face asked us to send it to you. He also said that you would know what this letter means."

"Really?" The other party chuckled, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint him. I'm never interested in things that pretend to be smart but don't really know what they mean."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand on the table to indicate, "I will make the decision for your father, provided that the truth is indeed what you said."

This person obviously meant to see off the guests, which made the girl who was originally looking forward to this meeting very depressed, but she couldn't stay longer.

"Thank you, Lord Renly. I'll take my leave first then, and please take your time."

After giving a salute, the girl walked out of the door honestly. The servant who brought her in before had been waiting outside. He didn't say anything when he saw her coming out. He 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 respond.

"Miss Rhaenys, is everything going well?"

"It didn't go well." The girl replied gloomily: "I can't see anything at all."

"Just let your subordinates do this kind of thing. There is no need for you to take risks yourself."

"You don't understand."

The girl said noncommittally. After recalling her recent experience, she found that there were no clues at all, which really dampened her enthusiasm. For a moment, she felt uninterested.

However, she did not intend to give up. After walking towards the temporary hotel for a while, she said reluctantly: "Tell people to collect more information on Renly."

"We have collected all the information about him." The thin middle-aged man reminded her.

"We still have to dig deeper."

The girl was walking and talking, but she didn't realize that a sparrow was sitting on the viewing tree by the roadside not far away and was staring at her quietly.
