Chapter 129: King's Landing Farewell Outside the City

The Emperor's exile of his own sister and nephew was not hindered in any way. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info because this is something that most nobles would like to see. Therefore, in less than ten days, the eldest princess of the empire, the titular Baroness of Midwintertown, Ocinvia Madwin, could only leave the mansion where she had lived for more than ten years with her children under the eyes of her nominal husband, and slowly walked towards the world outside King's Landing, escorted by a team of knights.

King's Landing had purpose-built lanes for the nobles. This was a design that had been in place since King's Landing was first built. The designer's purpose was to distinguish between the nobility and the commoners. It was also to prevent the increasingly prosperous city from getting in the way of traffic congestion that would hinder the operation of the Empire's secrets.

For more than a thousand years, both the nobles of the empire and the common people have become accustomed to this kind of urban planning with class divisions. The commoners did not dare to set foot on the roads that only the nobility could use. And the aristocracy will not have to let go of the nobles for no reason, and go to grab the road with those mud legs in their eyes.

Even Osynvia is no exception to this. Although she was exiled, her identity did not change in any way. Regardless, she is still the eldest princess of the empire, and her children are the only heirs of a baron of real power. So in any case, there is no need for her to go the way of civilians.

Two carriages and a dozen knights of the guards galloped quickly along the smooth and wide road. And seeing everything he was familiar with just like that, the dark-haired boy sitting next to Ocinvia couldn't help but raise his head and said to his mother.

"Mom, can we never come back?"

"Maybe, little Billy. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. Ocinvia pressed her son's head, then looked into his twilight-like eyes and whispered to him. "You know, the city is nowhere near as beautiful as you think. It's a huge cage that imprisons you and me. The people who live in it will never be free, let alone the kind of life you want. And now that we are away from it, we are also free from all strife and trouble. A new life will begin soon, and it will be better than all that. ”

"Mother, are you too optimistic? If you leave this city, the business that I have worked so hard to run will be completely gone. In addition, I finally gained the favor of Master Famuri and had the qualification to study his swordsmanship. But for now, let's not talk about all this. ”

Little Billy's handsome face showed a very obvious look of helplessness. Obviously, his view of the matter was far less optimistic than his mother had thought.

As a genius who was only thirteen years old and could run a considerable business, and mixed up a good reputation in the complex circle of people in King's Landing. Little Billy knew exactly what he was doing all of this. It's nothing more than the connections between his mother and uncle, and the wealth of that cheap father. And once he leaves all this, how long can he last everything he manages? The half-grown boy really doesn't have the slightest confidence.

As a mother, Ocinvia naturally knows everything about her children. And to her, everything he was running was just a joke. Whether it was the luxury store opened by drawing some of the supplies from the luxury goods sent to King's Landing through Kravet's connections, or the swordsmanship that was sought after with the children of the nobles who had nothing to do, they were all just petty things. Even if they were all abandoned, there would be no pity.

It's just that she can't say this kind of thing herself, and it's best to let him experience it himself. So she just remained silent, smiling and looking at her child.

Such an attitude was enough to make the young Billy realize that everything had reached the point of no return. So he could only sigh and reluctantly accept this fact. At this moment, a knight suddenly drove to the window of the carriage, knocked on the window twice, and then whispered to the two people inside.

"Your Highness, someone has stopped in front of you. Look at the flag, it should be the crown prince's convoy. ”

"Looks like I'm looking for you, little Billy. Go and say goodbye to him yourself. Don't forget to do it as soon as possible, we're in a hurry. ”

At his mother's instruction, Billy, a handsome black-haired boy, sprang out of the carriage like a swift monkey and rushed to the royal carriage that was already waiting there.

The tall steed snorted twice as little Billy approached, apparently resisting the approaching boy. And the rider of the horse is obviously used to this situation. He held the reins tightly, keeping the pure white horses in his hands. At the same time, he turned his head and whispered into the window behind him.

"Your Highness. Young Master Billy is here, if you have anything to say, please hurry up. Otherwise, when Her Royal Highness the Queen finds out about this, I'm afraid we will all have some trouble. It doesn't matter if you don't care, the guards and I will definitely be punished. ”

The attendants, riders, and even knight guards around the crown prince are all his own team, and they only need to be loyal to the crown prince alone, which is why the crown prince will bring them out knowing that he has disobeyed his mother's orders. Because they themselves are a whole that shares weal and woe.

Offending one's true master in order to please the queen will only be a result that outweighs the losses in the end. So not only will they not sue, but they will also find a way to cover for the crown prince. That's why this rider would say such things.

The crown prince in the carriage heard the rider's words, nodded slightly, and said to him with a smile.

"Don't worry. Jack, I won't embarrass you. I just want to say goodbye to Billy, I won't waste too much time. ”

The Crown Prince, who had always been mild-mannered, relieved the nervousness of his men, and then got out of the carriage and walked over to the familiar figure.

Although the Emperor has always regarded his sister as a traitor, he has been very unkind to her and this evil seed in his eyes. But the crown prince of the empire has always had a good sense of his aunt and this cousin. Billy Jr., in particular, is the only peer in the royal family's generation. Little Billy is more than just a cousin to him. They are more like friends, and the only ones.

His only friend is leaving his side, which is naturally a very sentimental thing for the crown prince. But at his age, he also knows that there are some things that he can't force and can't force. Because it was impossible for him to stand up to his father, the nominal supreme ruler of the Empire, or against his own mother, Her Royal Highness the Empress of the Empire. So he could only sneak to see him off at this time.

He had come secretly, as little Billy could guess, so he immediately said to the crown prince's playmate with some sighs.

"You're really getting yourself in trouble. You must know that if this matter is known to the queen, you will definitely be grounded again. ”

"It doesn't matter. I came out of the palace under the pretext of going to the Duke of Asaph's estate. Even if there is a delay in the middle, I can say that I have taken a few laps in the suburbs. Jack, they'll prove it for me, so even if those people guess something, as long as I don't admit it, they can't do anything to me!"

When the crown prince said this, he obviously had some resentment in it. And for his attitude, little Billy rubbed his head with a little headache. And then said to him.

"If I had known, I shouldn't have told you all the gossip I heard in the market. Fa Xiu, that may just be the speculation of those ignorant civilians about the inside of the palace. Maybe it's not what you think it is. ”

"No, maybe it's all true. It is impossible for such rumors to appear in the market of King's Landing for no reason, and I have also investigated, and the palace is indeed infiltrated by the power of the Duke of Asaph. From the guards of the royal palace to my mother's palace, there were almost all of his people. If this kind of rumor is false, then is it necessary for him to do such a rebellious thing?"

When he said this, the crown prince's tone had already become a little gnashing of teeth. Obviously, he did not look at him differently just because the current Duke of Asaph was his uncle.

This is a royal affair, and little Billy, who has never considered himself a member of the royal family, has no intention of getting involved in it. So immediately he spoke up.

"Fa Xiu, don't tell me this kind of thing. I've been exiled, and if I get involved in something like this, I'm not sure there won't be any Assassins coming to my trouble. ”

"You, it's still like this!" Looking at the irresponsible appearance of his cousin, the crown prince didn't mean to teach him a lesson. Instead, he smiled slightly, then patted him on the shoulder and sighed and said to him. "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I don't have the ability to protect you in this matter. You know, I wasn't treated by my father in the first place, so even if I wanted to keep you from exile, it wouldn't be possible, plus the queen mother was ......"

"As I said, this kind of thing has nothing to do with me, I don't want to get into trouble. ”

Billy shook his head, not wanting to hear the crown prince continue. And for his attitude, the crown prince Fa Xiu also laughed disapprehantly.

He took a box from the guard beside him, placed it on Billy's hand, and pressed it on his shoulder, saying to him.

"Billy, this thing for you should be my other gift. Plus, I promise you that one day I'll let you come back here in the open. Whether it's to convince my father or anything else, I'll let you come back here. I swear!"

"Then I'll wait for your good news!"

With a shake of his hand, little Billy turned around and walked towards where he was supposed to go, holding the gift from Fa Xiu. And look at the back of him leaving. The crown prince Fa Xiu smiled and stepped into his carriage again.

"Let's go, head as fast as you can towards the Asaph Manor!"
