A Western fantasy journey that began with Game of Thrones
Chapter 257 Crow
The dagger medium seemed to have been repaired, but Renly did not intend to use it that night, because experience has proved that after entering the dungeon, time in the outside world still flows, and as the Minister of Justice, there are actually many people who have done it openly or covertly. Pay attention to his whereabouts, it is not convenient to "disappear".
Renly planned to take some time off to use the dagger after he was done with this period of time. At the same time, he was also thinking about the issue of being "seen" by Cersei.
In his opinion, this matter was not very serious, because Cersei was the only one who saw it. Even if she exposed it, it would be unclear whether others would believe it.
At the same time, even if others knew about it, Renly had no fear. Nowadays, he is no longer the fragile little boy he was before. Although he has been keeping some things secret, it cannot be said that he is afraid of being discovered.
However, Renly was still prepared to take the initiative to talk to that person, because he was afraid that the other person would think deeply about this. But he didn't expect that just after returning to the Red Castle, the cheap sister-in-law sent someone to invite him to dinner.
He was surprised by this, but he did not refuse. After handling some official duties, he accepted the invitation directly as the time was approaching.
The location was in a quaintly decorated side hall of Maegor Tower, and there was no one else except the person involved.
After stepping through the gate guarded by two guards, Renly bowed to the queen who was wearing an emerald green robe, and then sat opposite her.
The dining table in front of me was already filled with food, and the candles were burning quietly. The meat and vegetables on the table looked extremely rich, and the dazzling silver trays dotted the table seemed like a unique sight.
Customs such as having dinner together are not popular in this world. Most of the social interactions between nobles are at banquets. However, this kind of private meeting is not so particular at this time, and you can do whatever you want.
"I received a letter from Casterly Rock recently, and Tyrion also asked about Lord Renly's current situation."
After some greetings, the blond woman in front of him smiled and spoke to Renly. It seems like she thinks these words can bring the relationship closer together.
But in fact, Renly had no contact with the little devil in his memory over the years. In the first few years, he maintained communication, but then it gradually stopped.
"I haven't seen Tyrion for many years, and I miss him a lot." Renly replied with a smile and didn't explain anything.
"My father is going to send him to King's Landing to find a position. I don't expect you to be able to meet my brother in a while." Cersei's tone was very polite, but Renly could feel the complex emotions in her heart at this time. Fear, vigilance, curiosity, awe...
So Renly went straight to the point and said: "Did you see the queen in the godswood?"
Obviously, she did not expect Renly to be so direct. At the same time, although the purpose was this, Cersei seemed not ready to communicate directly, and the smile on her face became very forced after hearing the words.
"But I didn't expect Lord Renly to have that kind of ability." She replied dryly, but then she calmed down and changed the topic, "What does Lord Renly think about the problem between the king and my son Joffrey?"
"Hair color?"
"Yes." Cersei said, with a worried look on her face, "I can't see anything now, but if it is really a curse, there will be a day when it will happen, and it won't just make the hair change color? I have always been worried about this, but Since you are a professional, you should know something about it?”
She was lying, but she obviously didn't expect that Renly knew everything about her. After hearing this, he said calmly: "I am also very suspicious about this, but I don't have any more clues. Your Highness, maybe you don't understand yet, There are actually many categories of magic, and I’m not good at spells like curses or blood magic.”
Cersei secretly breathed a sigh of relief at these words, and then her green eyes moved, and she raised her hand to brush her blond hair from her forehead intentionally or unintentionally, "Then I wonder what Lord Renly is good at?"
"I am good at getting others to reveal the truth." Renly said seriously: "This makes me fully qualified for the job of Minister of Justice. Your Highness the Queen should know that I have indeed done a lot of things during this period, and this completely depends on this."
These words made Cersei, who had been relaxed a little, think again. Thinking about all the rumors about the person in front of her these days, she suddenly felt that she was very reckless. However, when she met the person in front of her, his face was as usual, but she was still barely stable. He stopped his attention and put on a curious look, "How did you do it?"
"This is the power of the old gods of the north."
Renly replied, "The old gods have given me the ability to interrogate. As long as I am alone with the prisoner in a room, he will answer whatever I ask and cannot lie."
"Is this really true?" The queen's expression changed slightly.
"Of course it's true." Renly nodded, "Your Highness, do you want to try it?"
Cersei shook her head hurriedly, and then did not dare to bring the topic to this topic again. She chatted about some trivial matters in life, and also talked about how her children admired Renly and so on. Finally, she pretended to be unwell and ended hastily. this conversation.
Renly resigned voluntarily.
After seeing Renly leave, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly walked to the upper floor of Maegor's Tower, where she found her brother guarding the door of the king's residence. Facing his doubtful gaze, she lowered her voice and said: "Never talk to that blue man in the future. Stay in the same room."
"Why?" James, who was dressed in white robes, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, then thought of something, and said with a smile: "Are you afraid that I will fall in love with Renly? To be honest, he is really beautiful——"
"Shut up!" Cersei glared at her brother sternly, "Now is not the time for joking, think about what he has done during this time!"
"What did you do?"
The blond knight was stunned when he heard this, then after thinking about it, he understood and his face looked a little ugly, "You mean..."
"he can……"
…
Early the next morning, when Renly was waiting for the royal meeting, he found that a certain blond knight guarding the door of the meeting hall was full of vigilance after seeing him. This reminded him of the conversation with the queen last night, and he secretly had a headache.
It was not Renly's wish to take the initiative to expose this, but now that Cersei has seen her "special place", she will sooner or later associate Renly's actions with special magic. In her heart, she might be even more afraid.
So it's better to take the initiative to tell this "secret" to save her from thinking about it.
Renly was not afraid that she would think of something else, but that she would think that he could read minds and already knew her secrets. That would be very risky, and there would be many extraordinary variables.
Now...
"Does this count as retreating and running away?" Renly murmured secretly. He felt that this was not a good thing, but he did not think it was too serious a bad thing for the moment, so he put it in his heart and stopped thinking about it.
The topic discussed at the Royal Council today was about the fact that the nine Free Trade Cities have shown signs of sending troops. The old Prime Minister Jon Arryn believed that they would attack King's Landing because the combined naval strength of the other party could completely crush our own, and as long as King's Landing was conquered If it is captured, then the rest of the Seven Kingdoms will not be a concern.
So King Robert ordered Stannis, the Lord of the Sea, to quickly build up the navy, try to add more strength before the war, and at the same time prepare for a defensive war.
Because there was an impression of wildfire defending the city in his previous life, Renly mentioned it. Other than that, he didn't say anything else - he basically didn't understand the military aspect.
He had nothing to do for three days in a row. Apart from doing his job, Renly was also thinking about how to promote the new Archbishop to the position. However, compared to this matter, what he cared about more was the dagger.
Every time he saw the dagger, Renly had the urge to hold it tightly, as if a strong man who had been hungry for a long time saw a sumptuous meal.
So on the afternoon of the fourth day, he finally couldn't hold it back anymore, locked the door and held it tightly.
Then Renly discovered that he had not entered the dungeon. Holding the dagger tightly caused an extra crow to appear in the room——
A crow with three eyes.
