Chapter 70 Free People
"Relax, I'll be right out!"
After careful consideration, Rhaegar decided to be on the safe side and be honest.
He put the dagger back into the space bracelet and slowly walked out of the cave with his hands raised high.
As soon as he exited the cave, he saw an open bow and arrow pointing at him.
Rhaegar was startled and took half a step back.
"A child?"
The person pulling the bow was a half-grown girl wearing a leather skirt and jacket, staring at Rhaegar in confusion.
Seeing the other party's dress, Rhaegar felt a chill in his heart.
The girl in the leather skirt did not put away her bow and arrows, and moved slowly, warning: "Is there anyone else in the cave? Come out together!"
Rega stood there and did not dare to move, and said honestly: "No need to shout, it's just me."
"Fart, how can a kid like you walk through the swamp jungle?"
The girl in the leather skirt cursed and glanced sharply at Rhaegar's body.
Rhaegar understood instantly.
The other party mistook him for a child from a noble family through his clothes.
After pondering for a moment: "Are you... from a certain tribe?"
He used his words very euphemistically and did not say the word "savage".
The so-called savages are the collective term for free people who do not obey the jurisdiction of local lords.
A group of disobedient, barbaric and rude barbarians.
So said the maester who taught him.
The girl in the leather skirt ignored him and continued to stare at the entrance of the cave.
Behind her, two small boys rushed out.
He was wearing animal skin clothes and holding a bone ax and shovel in his hand.
One person grasped Rhaegar firmly with one hand and dragged him aside.
"Be gentle, don't use so much force."
Rega felt a little pain from being pressed by them, and said helplessly.
Two boys, one about ten years old, thin and frail.
One looked bigger, dark-skinned, and very muscular.
They didn't listen to Rhaegar at all and paid serious attention to the movements of the girl in the leather skirt.
It turned out that Rhaegar was not lying.
The girl in the leather skirt dodged to the entrance of the cave and shot out an arrow, hitting the hard rock wall.
Looking around, the cave was completely empty.
Not to mention Tibetans, not even a mouse.
The tense atmosphere eased, and the girl in the leather skirt secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She picked up the bow and arrow and signaled the two younger brothers to take Rhaegar into the cave.
The skinny boy tied Rhaegar with a hemp rope and threw him in the corner of the cave.
Rhaegar moved disgustedly to avoid getting caught in the dusty cobwebs.
The girl walked up to him, held his chin with her hand, and said fiercely: "Who are you? Which family are you from? Where are you, sir?"
Rhaegar was pinched so hard that he stared at the girl displeased.
"You dare to glare at me. If you don't tell me the truth, you will be punished!" The girl increased her strength and was full of threats.
After some contact, Rhaegar felt more courageous.
He glanced at the girl several times.
A very capable girl with brown curly hair, a tall nose, and regular facial features.
Rhaegar didn't care about any of this.
He only values two things.
The girl’s wheat-colored smooth skin and the blood blisters on her knuckles.
Rhaegar's eyes flashed and he said: "You are not a savage, are you?"
The girl's expression changed slightly and she said coldly: "I'm asking you something, don't change the subject."
"That's your brother, and neither of you are savages."
The change in the girl's attitude confirmed Rhaegar's suspicion.
In the girl's suspicious eyes, Rega spoke eloquently: "Savages have been living outside since childhood, and they can't raise smooth faces, let alone sick rice."
Lei Jia glanced at the thin boy pointedly.
As a veteran frail patient, he is sensitive to issues of personal health.
You can tell at a glance that the thin boy is not in good physical shape and does not look like a savage child.
In other words, even savages cannot raise a child born with poor physical constitution.
The girl's face darkened, she let go of her hand holding Rega's chin, and said rudely: "So what, you are very smart, but little cleverness can't save your life."
"Tell me your origins, otherwise I will show no mercy to you."
"No, no, no, I am only 6 years old. Abusing children is not allowed anywhere."
Rega shook his head repeatedly and suggested: "You can untie me and let's have a heart-to-heart talk. Maybe I can help you."
Finally, he emphasized: "I know many bachelors who are proficient in herbal medicine and can help your brother treat his illness."
"My brother is not sick!" The girl retorted disdainfully.
Rhaegar didn't believe it: "Your brother's face is pale, it doesn't look like he's not sick."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up!" the girl threatened with her fist raised.
Rega immediately became honest and smiled coquettishly.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves, because they don't want to suffer physical pain.
In view of Rega's thin appearance, the girl thought about it and untied his straw rope.
"Sister, he seems to be a child of a noble family..."
The thin boy reminded in a low voice.
"Nonsense, look at the clothes he's wearing, you can tell he's a child from a noble family."
The sturdy boy choked him.
The thin boy shut up angrily and squatted aside to watch.
The girl glared at the burly boy and said seriously: "Tessen, you go find Uncle Falcon and the others, and Tormund and I will interrogate him."
"But……"
The boy named Teson looked reluctant and was forced back by the girl's dangerous look.
He ran out of the cave coyly.
With one person missing, the girl's expression softened a lot, and she said calmly: "My name is Baolan, he is my brother Tormund, and we are from the Peregrine Tribe."
"Where's the last name?" Rhaegar asked tentatively.
"Without a surname, we are illegitimate children, and we are hated by people."
Judging from the tone and manner in which she said these words, she was very angry about her origins.
That's right. Didn't that illegitimate child come here because of being looked down upon?
No one else would accept it calmly.
Baolan asked: "Who are you? Why are you alone in the cave? What's with the blood and the excrement outside?"
Rhaegar pursed his lips, hesitating whether to reveal his true identity.
If the other party is a sane person, he can be detained and exchanged with the royal family for money.
But for an illegitimate child who is very dissatisfied with her birth, who knows if she will do something mindless out of jealousy.
Baolan's eyes never left him for a moment, and she could guess his concerns with just a quick guess.
He said disdainfully: "Say it, I won't do anything to you. The Peregrine Tribe is an orderly tribe that protects young children and women."
"Well, I hope you're not too surprised."
Rhaegar shrugged and said, "My name is Rhaegar Targaryen. The king is my father. I came here riding a dragon to travel the scenery of the continent."
This statement is half true and half false.
Not only did he reveal his origin, he also had to intimidate the other party.
"Targaryen! Are you a prince?" Baolan was stunned for a while before reacting.
Younger brother Tormund's eyes were full of excitement, and he stepped forward and asked: "You said you came here with a dragon, but where is your dragon?"
"Answer the questions one by one, don't rush."
Rhaegar said solemnly: "Once again, I am indeed a prince. Look at my silver hair and purple eyes. They are symbols of the Targaryen family."
He had to ensure his personal safety.
As long as they don't go crazy, they shouldn't be able to hurt him.
The two siblings in front of them were still immersed in the excitement of kidnapping a prince.
Capturing the true dragon blood of a Targaryen in his lifetime is a bit bizarre no matter how you say it.
