In the bright and colorful garden of the High Court, the bald bachelor left quietly after his report, while the couple sat facing each other on either side of the stone table and talked.

The brown-haired, dressed in fine clothes, squeezed the letter in his hand and fell into thought, while the silver-haired woman sitting opposite frowned and said, "I don't approve of you setting sail this time with the blue salute, Mace, it's too dangerous." ”

"I don't agree with that either." Duke Metz nodded: "But this is His Majesty's request, and we can't help it if we don't agree with it." ”

"The kid wasn't even seven years old!" Madame Ellery reminded him.

The brown-haired duke smiled at this: "Maybe the tradition of the stormlands is not to miss any opportunity to raise children from an early age?" ”

The silver-haired Lady Ellerly sighed.

"What a bunch of savages."

"On this ......" Duke Metz coughed dryly when he heard this, and admonished, "spiders are not only weaving webs in King's Landing, but some things are better not to be said explicitly." ”

"When did you have to be so careful in your own garden?" Madame Ellerly complained dissatisfiedly: "What else can we say? ”

"Isn't that the Mad King Age?"

Duke Metz sneered: "Originally, I thought that after His Majesty Robert ascended the throne, the spider would be beheaded or driven away, but I didn't expect him to keep his position. ”

He said, shaking his head with some regret.

"It's a pity......"

"I still think it's very risky to let Lan Li follow." Madame Ellery turned back to the subject, "The boy seems to be healthy, but he was sick and frail in King's Landing, what if he gets sick on the ship?" ”

"I'll take the bachelor with me."

The Duke replied, "If the bachelor doesn't work, then I am no wonder." ”

"Write a letter for His Majesty Robert to think carefully, Mace?" Madame Ellerly proposed.

"Write a letter for this little thing?" The Duke of Metz did not agree to this approach.

"And even if it doesn't work, it's too late, and His Majesty Robert should have left King's Landing by now—he always likes to be at the forefront of a war."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that his eldest son had claimed not long ago that he wanted to follow him to see it, so he said thoughtfully: "You say, since His Majesty Robert is so relieved, why don't I bring Villas with me and let him increase his knowledge?" ”

Mace. Tyrell was actually a man with a big heart, and always wanted his eldest son to be a top knight and a good ruler, and to be a ruler you had to understand warfare.

So he's a little moved now.

"No, Vilas must not follow!" When the Duchess heard this, she said without hesitation: "One is already adventurous enough, do you want two?" ”

"Take Lan Li's kid with you on the left and right, it's better to have Velas with you, so they can still be companions."

"It's not a hunting trip."

"I think we will basically win this battle, and there will be no danger." The Duke of Metz explained.

"That's not going to work either!"

……

Unbeknownst to the brown-haired boy Velas, his only chance to follow had been ruined by his mother, he was now gushing about persuading two teenagers of the same age who were guests in the castle.

He obviously couldn't imagine that someone had broken away from his plan and "swept the snow in front of his door".

In the quiet room, looking at the slightly restrained thin boy in front of him, Lan Li sighed heartily.

Who would have thought that this little guy who was abducted with a golden dragon would be so proficient in unlocking and stealing?

Disguised as a letter from King's Landing, and then entered the Bachelor's Tower under the leadership of Lan Li, and secretly ran to the top of the Raven's Room to send the bird in when the Bachelor and the servants were not looking......

An elaborate forgery was so smoothly completed.

Although Lan Li would have had a way to achieve his goal without this boy named Tobu, it was much easier to do so.

"You'll come in with me early tomorrow morning, and steal that bird back." What he thought in his heart did not affect Lan Li's words on the surface, he patted the other party's shoulder as he spoke, and praised, "Good job." ”

The boy blushed a little when he was encouraged, and then hesitantly said, "My lord, can I join you?" ”

He vaguely knew that the adult might be going out, but he didn't know the specifics.

"Nope." Hearing this, Lan Li said negatively: "Your task now is to stay in the castle honestly and receive training. ”

"But Mother said, 'I have to keep up with you.'"

"Your Excellency now orders you to stay here." Lan Li replied, so the other party bowed his head and snorted, and said no more.

The boy's mother is not in the castle at the moment, but is active near the high court, the reason is that being a female guard is too eye-catching, and being a maid is too restrained, so it is better to be an eye and ear outside, so that Lan Li can be notified of anything as soon as possible.

Lan Li thought that what she said made sense, so he just let it go, but he didn't think that with such an eye and ear, he could get any help.

Unless someone hits the heart of the High Court, or the High Court rebels against Baratheon, then even if it has eyes and ears, it will not make any difference.

……

The female bandit who Lan Li thought was useless was actually very useful, if she could truthfully report the gossip she heard while she was on the road a while ago.

Of course, even if she doesn't, she is actually very useful, for example, at this moment, she suddenly saw a strange woman, who was inquiring about the news of her little master.

"Not even seven, are you sure?" In the deserted inn, which was four or five days away from the High Court, a woman in a black cloak was talking to the hostess of the inn, her voice hoarse and strange.

"I'm not sure, I'm just saying that the little duke doesn't look like he's even seven years old." The fat proprietress replied.

"Blue eyes, black hair?"

"That's right, those eyes are beautiful."

The fat proprietress of the hotel sighed: "I have seen a lot of children, but it is the first time I have seen a child with such a pair of beautiful eyes." You don't know, ma'am, he greeted me politely. He said, "May the warrior bless your health—madam, to tell the truth, this is the most sincere blessing I have ever heard in my life." ”

"And where does he live now?"

"Where else could it be?"

The hostess replied, "Of course, she lives in our lord's house of Lord Tyrrell, and tells me, Madame, that such a beautiful and polite child should live in such a beautiful castle, and how can ordinary people like us have that qualification?" ”

The woman nodded, raised her hand and left a few copper plates, then turned to leave.

She had a black hood on her head, so she couldn't see her face, but when she turned around, she revealed a strand of shiny silver hair.

Wenda in the corner narrowed her eyes when she saw this, then got up and walked out.

Although I didn't hear any specific purpose, since this person intended to inquire about his own adult, it was obvious that he would not ask casually.

Wenda was ready to follow and star, and then it would be improvisable to ask or follow.

However, when she walked out of the hotel, she suddenly found that the strange woman was gone.

"How is this possible?"

Frowning and scanning the wild dirt road in front of the hotel, the female bandit was secretly stunned, but before she could think about anything, a huge impact suddenly came from the back of her head, and then her eyes went dark, and she didn't know anything.
