74 Sudden vows
"You are here to laugh at me, too?"
The oncoming sentence made Lan Li stunned, then pulled out the chair opposite him and sat on it, and said, "I don't have the habit of laughing at others."
"I don't have the habit of talking to strangers either." The "child" sitting on the chair looked at Lan Li coldly with his colored eyes, as if his tangled facial features looked very ferocious and ugly in the dim light.
Very introverted.
Lan Li thought to himself, but he didn't care. The old god was sitting there on the ground. When his arm was stretched forward, his sleeves shook. A silver dagger suddenly slid out and was held in his hand. Then his upper body was slightly protruded. Under the other party's dagger, he cleverly cut off a piece of chicken wing from the plate of roast chicken in front of him with a dagger.
Under the light of the nearby brazier, a piece of chicken wing that looked fresh and greasy was inserted by a dagger away from Tyrion's eyes. At the same time, he also heard a sentence.
"I feel that your chicken is delicious, so I came to you to ask for one."
The black-haired boy opposite said, tearing off a piece of the chicken wings inserted in his hand with his mouth, and his voice became vague when chewing.
"But it seems you don't want to, so I can only use the strong one."
This sounded like bullying, but after scratching his forehead, the other party pushed the plate of roast chicken in front of him to Renli.
"I give it to you, but I don't feel how delicious this chicken is." His voice was hoarse, and it was also filled with the unique immatureness of a boy. Renli probably is only eight or nine years old now.
"Is that true?" he asked, cutting off a piece of chicken leg meat and put it into his mouth to chew it.
"Then why do you eat so delicious?"
"I'm very hungry," the other party replied.
It seemed like that, but Lan Li felt that the tone was a bit reluctant. At the same time, when he spoke, he looked at a group of children of the same age not far away. Now those people are playing with each other.
Thinking of what he said at the beginning, Lan Li could easily guess what had happened before, but he did not ask about the idea of this matter, but instead changed the subject.
"Your name is Tyrion? My name is Renly."
"I know your name is Renly."
Maybe the action just now made him feel relieved. One of the future protagonists no longer had the same vigilance as before when he spoke, but he didn't seem very enthusiastic either.
"The butler in Kaiyan City told me that my sister also brought you a gift."
These words made Lan Li couldn't help but turn her head to look. Through the endless crowd, he could see that his cheap elder brother Robert was dancing with an elegant girl with a gorgeous dress in a blonde slightly curly dress. Because the distance was too far and there were too many people, he couldn't see his appearance clearly. However, Lan Li had seen her before, and even if he hadn't seen her before, he could recognize who that person was.
Cersei Lannister, a well-known existence at present, is also the person involved in the fact that Lanley has poured a lot of "dirty water".
There is a very obvious difference between her appearance and the one in her memory, that is, she is not sure whether she likes a fake smile...
Thinking of this, Lan Li withdrew her gaze and looked at the little "dwarf" who was about the same height as him.
"I'm looking forward to your sister's gift," he said. "But if it's a toy, I have two big boxes."
The other party shook his head, signaling it was unclear, and obviously he was not interested in it. Lan Li changed the subject when he saw this.
"I heard that Kaiyan City was built on a big stone?"
"A big stone bigger than a mountain."
The little "dwarf" nodded and replied politely: "It's very close to the sea, a bit like this, but much taller than this."
"Can you hear the sound of waves?"
"Of course, it's like thunder when the tide is high."
"How could it be like thunder?"
"It's like thundering when you run down. James and I always go to the Hall of Heroes to play, so we can always hear it."
"House of Heroes?"
"That's our family..."
This person talked about Kaiyan City and talked about more topics, but his words were not very humorous. He was straightforward and full of educational atmosphere of aristocratic families, which was completely different from what Ren Li had in his impression.
However, the person in front of him is still too young and his personality has not yet been formed. Ren Li didn't care much about it, but kept providing the topic without hesitation, allowing the other party to keep talking.
It was not until the end that he felt it was almost done and said, "I want to invite you to play in King's Landing City. Tyrion and Red Fort have nothing interesting, they are far worse than yours."
"I heard that there are dragons in Red Castle." The other party asked hurriedly when he heard this, with an expectation on his ugly face.
"It's a bunch of dragon bones, all of which have been put away, it's meaningless."
Lanli replied, seeing the other person's face showing disappointment, and added: "But there is an abandoned dragon cave on Reness Hill, where Targaryen uses to raise dragons. I have always wanted to see it. How about it, do you want to go together?"
The other party was a little moved when he heard this, but hesitated.
"I have to ask my father whether he agrees or not, he doesn't want me to run around."
"Then I'll ask my elder brother, he's the king, if he agrees, even if your father doesn't let you run around, he'll have to give in."
Lan Li said, seeing that the other party did not object, she slid down the chair and walked towards the center of the hall.
The little demon who was very interested in him in his memory was just a lonely and excluded little dwarf at this time. In fact, there was nothing to talk about, but this matter involved the issue of Red Castle, so of course he had to have snacks.
As a five-year-old child, even with guards, it is difficult for him to get out of the Red Fort. However, if he has a playmate from afar and then does something to enhance the relationship between the two families, this possibility will almost exist.
The twins of the Redwin family who came over a while ago could actually be used as playmates, but Lan Li heard that they were sent to be hostages and could not leave casually, so he had to give up.
He has to seize the opportunity now.
Lanley was very careful and ran to the center of the hall, who had just finished dancing and was sitting on a chair and drinking, and did not get any objection after talking about this. Instead, the king laughed. The blonde girl beside him also looked at him with a smile, with a gentle and virtuous face on her face.
However, just as Lan Li obtained the consent and was about to turn around and leave, what happened next was indeed a bit beyond his expectations.
After drinking the crimson wine in the silver wine glass, the young king wearing a golden crown and short carbon black hair suddenly stood up and clapped his hands. So everyone seemed to be busy with their own things, but in fact they were very concerned about the men and women here stopped their actions and slowly surrounded them.
The singer's performance and the acrobat's performance also stopped, and the wide banquet hall became silent in a short while.
The young king then walked up to Renli, looked down at the boy and said command.
"Kneel down."
Lan Li was stunned when she heard this, feeling a little confused, but she still knelt on one knee honestly, while the other party raised his hand and placed it on top of his head.
"Lanli of the Baratheon family, are you willing to serve the kingdom loyally and swear to never betray?"
The solemn voice came into his ears from above, making Lan Li, who was lowering his head, realize instantly, and then his thoughts were chaotic. However, his inner emotions did not make him hesitate to react.
"I swear." The boy's crisp words spread throughout the banquet hall, and the faces of the noble men and women gathered around him became formal.
"Are you willing to protect the territory of the kingdom, protect the royal family, and swear to resist all invading enemies?"
"I swear."
"Are you willing to uphold the laws of one side, protect the people of the territory, and swear to preside over justice with swords and balances?"
"I swear."
King Robert nodded and then announced loudly.
"Then, in the name of Andals, the king of the Loynas, the rulers of the seven kingdoms and guardians of the entire territory, Robert I of the Baratheon family, I hereby appointed Lan Li of the Baratheon family, my youngest brother, as the Duke of Dragonstone Island!"
