47 Fallen Dragon(16)
In the tranquil wooded camp there was a pale-faced young man, leaning back against a palm tree, wearing a wool-gray cloak that had been soaked in the sea and dried and crumpled, and inside the cloak was a red and blue satin blouse.
At the same time, the boots worn by the other party are also made of high-quality calfskin, silently revealing this person's identity and wealth.
But in the face of the short-haired woman in plain linen clothes in front of him, he stammered and was full of awe like a beggar seeing the richest local merchant.
"Are you really, really His Highness Rhaenys?"
At this time, Rhaenys no longer had the same look and attitude in front of Lan Li, but became much more serious, and after hearing this, she nodded and said, "We were chased into the sea by the Dorn, and the storm made us flow here. β
The words in her mouth made the young man who was slumped there couldn't help but glance at Lan Li standing next to him, the obvious appearance of the other party made him stunned in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask more, but smiled weakly at the little queen: "Down is Leo of the Redwin family, and Slett Redwin is my father." Your Royal Highness, we will be happy to serve you. But forgive me for not being able to get up and salute, I just- I really don't have the strength. β
"I don't blame you for that, Sir Leo." Rhaenys said, looked at the other party's weak expression, nodded and said, "Rest in peace first, after you recover, I still have a lot to ask you." β
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness." The other man bent over with great effort, then collapsed back to the spot, gasping for breath, his face full of weakness, and it looked as if he could die at any moment.
Fortunately, when he drank a bowl of hot fish soup and fell asleep, his weak demeanor had lessened. At the same time, facing the questions of the two, he explained one after another.
"We were hunting down the fishing boats of the Dornes around here, looking for some of our compatriots who died not long ago, and we were caught in a storm - oh, you may not know it yet, now everyone says you - said you have been killed in Dorne, and His Majesty Aegon ordered our family to send a fleet to block the coastline of Dorne and not let them go to sea to fish, but this damn storm has cost us a lot."
"I'm not sure if anyone will come to rescue me, Your Highness, but if my father hears that my ship has sunk, he will surely come to my rescue, huh...... If I'm not mistaken, there were a few ships that weren't damaged during the storm, maybe they'll remember where we were killed. But I'm not sure about this, Your Highness, I'm not sure. If those boats really weren't broken, how could I have floated here? β
"His Majesty Aegon is now in Dorne to avenge youβfor you. We don't know where His Majesty is, but we have heard that the Dornish have tried to use crossbow arrows against His Majesty, and the result has been badly damaged. β
"The Dornians seem to be stuck in the inner bar, and what I heard from the mouth of one of the captives seems to be that many people are still dead. But the specific situation is not understood. They went crazy and rowed out to sea, and we didn't know why, but now we do......"
β¦β¦
Still weak, the noble boy named Leo fell asleep not long after, but the effects he had, or the aftermath, changed the situation completely.
On the fourth day of the salvage, five towering and tall multi-masted ships loomed from the end of the shoreline, not initially heading towards the island, but Lan Li on the shore saw a cloud of signal black fog made of damp leaves and branches.
The ships were diverted shortly after.
The five boats eventually did not approach the shore of the island, but floated on the sea not far from the island, but several small boats approached with the sailors' oars, and finally a group of people came ashore.
The leader is an old man with an excited face who looks similar to Leo, and the placket of the satin blouse is embroidered with the coat of arms of the Redwin family.
The young nobleman, who had regained some mobility, stepped forward first, while Lan Li and Rhaenys stood on the beach. A short time later, the old man walked briskly, got down on one knee, and kissed the little queen's outstretched finger respectfully.
"It's an honor to see you alive, Your Highness the Queen, and Slett Redwin is happy to serve you."
β¦β¦
The island career that lasted for more than a month was basically over, and in the face of the little queen who "came back from the dead", everyone who came was respectful, and the Rhaenys, who looked like a little girl in Lan Li's eyes, had become as dignified and noble as a real queen at this time, and treated the people around her with a majestic expression, like a saint in the clouds.
But when he got rid of those people and found Lan Li sitting at the end of the beach in front of the tree roots, he returned to his old smiling appearance.
"We're getting out of here, aren't you happy?"
Lan Li shook his head: "I want to stay on the island, so I won't leave with you." β
"Didn't you wake up?" The other party asked amusedly, "Or did you suddenly lose your temper?" β
"I'm serious." Lan Li said: "I'm going to stay here for a while before leaving." β
"How to get there?"
"It's not like you don't know what I'm capable of." Lan Li said solemnly: "The sea can't stop me. β
"I don't believe you can get out of here." Rhaenys frowned quietly: "And it's not necessary, what can you do if you stay here?" β
"It's a very important thing, I can't tell you."
These words made the little queen's expression stunned, and then she squinted.
"Are you scared?"
"Why be afraid?" Lan Liqi said: "It's not that I haven't been on a boat, I'm afraid of something." β
"Youβ" Rhaenys bit her lip, looking a little annoyed.
"You should be happy." Lan Li ignored her expression, waved his hand and said, "Although we are friends, many problems have not been solved yet, but now I want to say it." I don't want your money, I don't want your dragon eggs, and I can't help you anymore. As for you, you have returned home safely, and you have gotten rid of my burden, what a good thing. β
"I'm angry, don't joke anymore."
"I'm not kidding." Looking at this person's expression, Lan Li gritted his teeth.
"Well, to tell you the truth, although I don't know why, I caused those storms during this time, so I can't go with you, otherwise more people will die in the storm again, and all this will be in vain."
It's a pity that the other party didn't believe his words, and just squinted his eyes after hearing this.
"You just said - do you really think I should be happy?"
"That's right." Lan Li nodded.
When the words fell, the other party turned around and left, Lan Li sighed when he saw this, feeling as if he was playing a game called wolf.
Today's farewell, if there is no accident, it is goodbye, and he actually has a lot of reluctance. It's just that even if they are reluctant, there is no way, after all, they are not people of the same world, no matter what, they have to say goodbye, it is better to be decisive in words, everyone is good to get together and disperse.
However, after a while, the footsteps suddenly approached from not far away, and when I looked up, the little queen who had left came over with a wooden cup at this time.
"Finally, I will make you a cup of tea, which can be regarded as repaying you!" She handed over the cup in her hand and said with a blank face.
"Are you serious?" Looking at the cup of tea stretched out in front of him, Lan Li unconsciously raised his eyebrows.
"What? Afraid of me being poisoned? Rhaenys said in a disdainful tone, "You saved me, I can't help but thank you, right?" But there was nothing on board, and I remember that you liked lemon tea, so I made you a cup by the way. You know, not just anyone can drink the tea I make. β
Lan Li smiled when he heard this, reached out and took the wooden cup and put it aside, and said, "Don't worry, I will visit you in King's Landing when I have the opportunity in the future, how can we be considered friends." I hope you'll still recognize me when the time comesββγ β
He didn't finish his words, because he just turned his head sideways slightly, and a huge force suddenly came out of the back of his head, and he couldn't help but stagger, Lan Li immediately stood up, but he couldn't hide his dizziness, and even staggered, his eyes stared at the beautiful figure in front of him with a mixture of surprise and anger.
"You're a stupid girlβ"
Before he finished speaking, an oncoming fist instantly blackened his eyes, and then he popped and fell to the ground.
"You don't understand anything, you're a stupid man!" Rhaenys looked at the bruise on his forehead with some distress, and then kicked Lan Li again.
"That's how happy I'm happy!"
With a snort, she turned her head and shouted orders to the group not far away.
"Someone, bring him to the boat!"
