Chapter 43 The Wind Rises and the King Comes
"Sir, do you have a helper you can completely trust?"
Thinking of a way in his mind, Rhaegar planned to recruit people to join his gang.
Ilic affirmed: "My brother Yalik, we trust each other."
"Call him, we need his help."
"Prince, he is now serving as Prince Aegon's bodyguard. If the queen finds out..."
"Then be careful and don't get discovered."
The situation was urgent, and Rhaegar had no time to waste.
"Ser, take me to Rhaenyra's chambers, and then you go find Alec."
"Yes, Prince."
Even though he didn’t know what kind of medicine Lei Jia was selling in his gourd, Ilic still chose to support it.
…
At the door of Rhaenyra's room, Cole was on watch.
Seeing Ilic arriving from a distance carrying Rhaegar on his back, Cole wondered: "Your Highness, why are you here late at night?"
"I had a nightmare and wanted to talk to my sister."
Rhaegar pretended to be scared and made up the illusion.
Cole hesitated: "The princess just rested, I'm afraid..."
"Ser Cole, Rhaenyra is my sister and she will want to see me."
Rhaegar's attitude suddenly became tough and caught Cole off guard.
"Open the door and let me in."
These words were not spoken to Cole, but to Ilic beneath him.
Ilic stepped forward and opened the door. Cole wanted to stop him, but he pushed him away.
Rhaegar's identity is there.
Determined to see Rhaenyra, Cole could not stop him.
He stepped in, but before Cole could take a closer look, the door slammed shut.
Ilic carried Rhaegar to the empty soft bed and gently laid him down.
As he walked past the table, he picked up an empty package and a piece of white paper with a map on it.
Rhaegar looked carefully and glanced at the dresses scattered on the carpet to confirm that Rhaenyra had indeed sneaked out.
Handing the blank paper to Ilic, Rhaegar ordered: "Follow the plan I told you. If you find Rhaenyra, turn back through this secret passage."
"If you really follow the plan, it might have a big impact?"
After hearing the plan specified by Rhaegar on the way, Ilic was a little hesitant.
"Sir, my sister is the heir to the Iron Throne. For the sake of her reputation, there is no need to worry about some losses."
Rega put one hand on his chest and said solemnly: "As I said again, no matter what the consequences are, I will bear them all."
Recalling his encounter with the White Deer in the past, Ilic's eyes gradually became firm: "I promise to bring the princess back safely!"
Under Rhaegar's gaze, Ilic turned and left the room.
Before closing the door, he blocked Cole's view and emphasized: "Don't disturb the prince and princess' night conversation. Do your duty faithfully."
As a newly promoted white knight, Cole respected Ilic and nodded to express his understanding.
Eric strode away.
…
Silk Street.
Rhaenyra, running under the night, walked through the crowds of people, enjoying this rare moment of peace.
From time to time, he would knock over some unlucky dealer's goods and laugh like a joke.
Damon hung tightly behind her, helping her to deal with the fool who was chasing her.
boom--
Rhaenyra ran into a dark alley and accidentally bumped into a golden robe.
Jinpao grabbed her forearm and said in a deep voice: "What bad thing did you do and you are so eager to run away!?"
Seeing the golden robe clearly through the helmet, Rhaenyra called out the other person's name.
"Sir Harwin!"
"Princess?"
Harwin Strong was startled and looked at the entrance of the alley calmly.
There, Damon, who was catching up, walked slowly.
Rhaenyra also noticed her uncle and begged Harwin, "No."
Harwin thought for a moment and guessed that the uncle and nephew had sneaked out to have fun.
He let go of Rhaenyra's hand and pretended not to recognize her: "Be careful, kid. You may not be so lucky next time."
With that said, he continued his patrol as if nothing had happened, and passed by Damon who was coming towards him.
Damon smiled knowingly and didn't care about the small golden robe at all.
Before he was resigned as the commander of the Capital Guard, every golden robe was his subordinate and loyal.
"You enjoy running around and messing around?"
The chasing session ended, and Daemon and Rhaenyra walked side by side.
"Who knows when the next time we will taste freedom will be."
Rhaenyra gasped slightly, obviously relieved by the wantonness.
The uncle and nephew walked while talking.
As they walked, Rhaenyra noticed something was wrong.
There were fewer vendors and sideshows around, replaced by the intoxicating sounds of men having sex and women having sex.
Damon took her into a stone building that she had never been before, and those disturbing sounds came from inside.
As soon as he stepped through the door, a rotten smell mixed with the smell of alcohol hit his face.
The men drank and had fun and spoke vulgarly.
The half-dressed girl wandered around the hall without hesitation.
Walking among the men, letting pairs of big hands caress them, peeping eyes, and making seductive smiles.
Rhaenyra was stunned and allowed Daemon to lead her inside, her eyes spinning at the debauched scene in the hall.
This was really a scene she had never seen in her life.
"What is this place?"
Rhaenyra scanned the environment warily.
Dimon's voice was flat: "A place where people come to have their needs met."
"Are you crazy? How dare you bring me here?"
Rhaenyra's face froze, the stimulating scene made her uneasy, and she subconsciously resisted.
She looked at her uncle with eyes full of desire.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling.
Rhaenyra's expression changed slightly, and she turned back and glanced at the door secretly.
If he ran away at this time, it would still be too late.
…
Meanwhile, around the corner of the brothel wall.
Two men in black robes with the same figure stood side by side and witnessed Daemon holding Rhaenyra's hand into the brothel.
"Go quickly, I'll handle it here."
A man in black robes spoke first, with a serious face under his hood.
"Remember what I say, the bigger the issue, the better. It's about the princess's reputation, and nothing can be done carelessly."
The face revealed under another black robe was exactly the same, it was Ilic who was dispatched urgently.
"Don't worry, I won't disappoint the prince."
Alec hit his brother on the shoulder and held a torch to light the haystack not far away in front of him.
Dry grass ignites when exposed to fire, and thick smoke accompanies the flames.
Eric said no more, put on his hood and headed towards the brothel door.
Alec moved quickly, climbed over the wall, entered the brothel kitchen and horse gallery, and lit the flames one after another.
The two brothers walked separately and worked together in perfect harmony.
Entering the brothel hall, Ilic remained silent, avoiding the girls surrounding him, and went straight to the dark room inside.
After opening the gauze curtain that could not block anything, Ilic saw tonight's target at a glance.
At this time, Daemon forced Rhaenyra into the corner and looked at his prey with aggressive eyes.
Rhaenyra pushed against him, her face frightened.
Just in time, Ilic stepped forward quickly, grabbed Damon's shoulder with one hand and pulled him over, and hit him hard in the face with a backhand left hook.
"uh-huh……"
The sudden attack left Damon unable to fight back, and he fell to the ground with a thud, stars in his eyes.
The incident happened so quickly that Rhaenyra didn't realize she had escaped until she heard Daemon's screams.
"Princess, please leave with me immediately."
Ilic picked up the black robe that Daemon had taken off and threw it to Rhaenyra, dragging her away without explanation.
Before leaving, Ilic glanced at Damon with disdain.
Another kick was applied between his legs.
With a bang, Damon was kicked and screamed miserably. He covered his crotch with both hands and his body was as hunched as a prawn.
The update will be released in advance tomorrow, and I hope you will support me a lot!
