Chapter 55 The Redwin Twins

The two new neighbors were twin boys with orange hair, one named Horace Redwyne and the other named Hobber Redwyne, with grapes embroidered on their lapels.

It was obvious that they were from the Redwyne family of the Arbor Island in the River Reach, or in other words, they were the two sons of the current Earl Redwyne. Because they were still young and there were too many people in the Red Keep at that time, they were arranged to live in Maegor's Holdfast.

When they first moved in, the twins cried and screamed loudly, and the sound was very obvious. With his sensitive hearing, Renly vaguely knew that it seemed that one of them was scratched on the face by a black cat after entering the Red Keep.

It seems that it is not serious, just a little disfigured. But the parties involved seemed to be unwilling to give up, and they made a lot of noise, and it seemed that half of Maegor's Holdfast could hear it.

"Seven Gods save me, how can they have such a loud voice?"

"Not only loud voices, but also bad tempers."

A servant passed by and whispered. With his sensitive ears, Renly could hear what they were saying even if he was sitting on the balcony.

"I remembered a midwife in my hometown in the countryside. Every time she went out to work, she would shout louder than the women who were giving birth. I still remember one time, she scared the woman in the next village..."

"It would be great if all the young nobles were as quiet as Master Renly, although he sometimes loses his temper."

"Yes, the little guy is good in every way, but he is a little shy..."

The voices of discussion gradually faded away. Renly selectively ignored the remarks about himself in these words, but kept thinking about the useful information in them.

Finally, he looked at the fireplace not far away and touched his chin thoughtfully.

That night, the twin brothers who had just moved into the new room in Maegor's Tower were sleeping well, and suddenly heard a very scary sound coming intermittently, faintly like the cry of a child, and the eerie smile of a gargoyle.

The strange sound was low and obvious, but it was impossible to find the exact location. So one of the twins, the orange-haired short one, was frightened and cried and howled and wet the bed, while the other one, who was slightly taller, ran out of the room screaming and shouting that there was a ghost.

That night, there was a lot of noise in Maegor's Tower. When someone comforted the two twins, it was already past midnight and dawn.

However, although many people were alarmed, no one cared about the ghosts of the two little guys. Instead, they just thought that it was just a nightmare or that they were not used to the new place.

However, at midnight the next day, the two little guys started to make a terrified noise again, and then cried and shouted that they had to go home or not live here anymore.

The servants who were responsible for taking care of them therefore discussed with the court steward, but the rooms in the castle were basically occupied at present. If they wanted to change places to live, they could only send people to clean up some abandoned towers first--

Otherwise, the twins would not be placed in this royal residence.

So the old man could only choose to continue to comfort the two young masters of the family, and finally completed this task reluctantly.

On the third day, after breakfast, Renly pretended to wander around and found two twin boys who looked a little depressed in a fountain courtyard outside Maegor's Tower. He approached them and asked curiously.

"Did you really see a ghost?"

The morning after the twins moved in, the palace steward arranged for them to meet, so they knew each other.

"Really, the sound was scary." The tall orange-haired boy said weakly, and the short boy shrank his neck when he heard it, and then waved his fat little fist again, and his ugly face full of freckles was full of anger.

"Even if it's a ghost, don't let me see it, otherwise I will make it taste my father's power!"

Renly exclaimed, then looked at some guards not far away, and whispered: "I guess it's not a ghost."

These words made the two children who looked similar startled.

"If it's not a ghost, then what is it?"

"It must be a person." Renly said: "I'm telling you, you just arrived and you don't know, there are many secrets in this castle, such as secret passages in the wall."

"Secret passage?" The fierce short boy wrinkled his nose: "My dad said that only mice can dig holes, so there are secret passages where the king lives?"

"Of course." Renly nodded: "I fell into it two days ago. It was pitch black inside, but it was very big. I suspect someone used this secret passage to scare you."

"Why scare us?" The short boy was stunned.

"How would I know?"

"I don't believe it." The tall boy shook his head and said, "That's a ghost, how could it be a person."

"Your home is not far from Oldtown. Haven't you heard the maesters there say that there are no weird things in this world?"

Ren Li snorted and said, "But whether you believe it or not, I will find this secret passage. They don't believe me, but as long as I find it, I will make them convinced and buy me a lot of good things. Well, you know, I found something that no one knows about, which must be a great achievement."

The twin brothers looked at each other in surprise.

"Is it really a person?"

"Is there really a secret passage?"

They asked in unison.

"It must be the case, the person in the secret passage." Ren Li nodded, and then suddenly asked with interest: "How about it, do you want to find it together?"

"Why should we join?"

"What's the benefit?"

"Benefit?" Ren Li pretended to think and said, "The benefit is that I get the credit, and you can have a chance to catch the person who scared you."

"Do you really think that's a human?" The dwarf boy asked again after hearing this.

"Of course, I don't believe there are ghosts in the world. The maesters all say--"

"I join!"

Before Renly finished speaking, he clenched his fists and nodded, his ugly face full of freckles gnashing his teeth. The tall orange-haired boy rolled his eyes and asked curiously: "You just said merit, this is also a merit?"

"Of course, this is the Red Castle, where the king lives. If I discover a secret that even the king doesn't know, it will be terrible." Renly said, pretending to be serious and saying his other purpose.

"But if we want to catch the man who scared you, we can't tell others immediately even if we find the secret passage."

"Why?"

"Have you heard a saying that digging up the haystack will startle the snake inside? If we tell others about it after we find it, the man will definitely not appear again. So after we find the secret passage, we should first secretly tell this news to my eldest brother Robert and ask him to catch it. My eldest brother is very powerful. In this way, we can both get credit and catch the fake ghost. Of course, the credit is mine, you can't compete with me."

The black-haired boy's words sounded like he admired Robert very much, but in fact, he didn't trust him at all. If that rough and cheap eldest brother was really reliable, he wouldn't have to play so much trouble. He would just go and make a small report. At most, he would think about how to make a report so that he could behave more like a child.

Relatively speaking, although the second brother Stannis is a bit stinky, at least he won't get drunk and talk nonsense. It's a pity that he hasn't been seen recently.

"Why should the credit be yours alone?" The short boy was unknowingly led into the corner by Renly.

"Of course it's mine, otherwise it can't be yours." Renly replied in a displeased manner, which made the other party blush and seem a little suffocated. The tall man next to him blurted out a sentence.

"We can find it ourselves."

This made Renly stunned, and then frowned.

"You can't find it yourself."

"Why can't you find it?" The short man also reacted at this time, with a smile on his face, "Why can you find it but we can't?"

"Because I fell in there, everyone knows it."

"We don't know, but we have to find it!"

"That's right! We have to go!"

"Then we find it, the credit and the fake ghost will be ours!" They said, made a face at Renly, turned around and ran away with a smile.

They ran very fast, and seemed a little impatient.

After looking at the backs of the two for a while, Renly scratched his head and suddenly felt a little troubled.

Although he deliberately provoked them, it was just a "prelude" for him. He didn't expect these two guys to be so "impatient".

His original idea was that he was also involved, so all the words before sounded reasonable. The original plan was to take these two guys around casually, and then accidentally find some clues or something.

After finding the clues, he said something to stimulate the two guys, so that they would leave him alone and work alone, so that he would almost get rid of himself, or it didn't matter if he couldn't get rid of him. With two "shields", the "pressure" he would bear would be much less.

As a result, they turned their faces directly now...
