All the sounds in the ocean seemed very faint, and the blocked ears felt slightly swollen under the seawater. The sunlight pierced the swaying sea surface above, like a faint light penetrating from another world. The faint light illuminated the dark world, and also radiated countless faint floating substances like dust in the sea water.

A brown-black crab claw poked out from the sand beside him, bringing up a faint turbid sand and dust. Then this small crab that looked like a hermit crab circled in front of Renly horizontally and finally crawled into his trouser legs.

At this time, Renly sat cross-legged at the bottom of an ocean reef, his eyes quietly staring at the deep and hazy sea world in front of him. His face, which was illuminated by the faint light, had no expression, and his hair was floating upwards, like a clump of black seaweed.

Countless cold currents penetrated into his body from all directions, and the chill kept getting worse, but he could not feel any pain and suffocation caused by lack of oxygen. There was also a faint coolness invading his eyes, so the sour feeling brought by the sea water was constantly weakened.

But Renly was already familiar with all this, so he did not pay much attention to the changes in his body, but stared at the hazy and unclear area in the deep sea in front of him. His face did not show any emotion, but he was expecting something in his heart.

The change happened not long after.

A silver-black eel suddenly broke through the hazy sea water and rushed towards Renly from the depths of darkness. But when it arrived in front of Renly, it changed its previous irritability and turned to slowly circling around him, occasionally approaching and touching his naked upper body with its cold mouth.

Renly ignored this loach-like fish. He was still staring ahead, waiting for a target to appear.

After a while, another brown-and-black-striped eel sprang out again, and like the previous one, it began to swim around Renly.

Then came more fish.

Fat whiting covered with brown spots, flat silver-scaled pomfret, ugly barracuda, densely packed small herrings...

The fish in the underwater world attacked him sporadically at first, but as time passed, more and more fish came in succession, and finally the darkness completely covered Renly's surroundings.

It was not until then that he grabbed a fat salmon, then kicked the ground with his legs, and rushed upward with a cloud of turbid sand and dust.

The surrounding fish were startled and scattered, and then gathered around the figure's legs like a black tornado, and until the other party left the sea, they reluctantly dispersed in all directions.

Renly climbed up the rocks on the shore and exhaled a breath of cool air. Then he bent down to pick up the linen shirt on the reef and put it on. The hot clothes made him feel warm and comfortable, but then he frowned, lowered his head and shook off his trouser legs, so a small crab was thrown out by him.

The big silver salmon in his hand was out of the sea and twisted its body uncomfortably, but it was not violent, and it seemed that he had no intention of resisting Renly.

"I feel embarrassed to eat you when you are like this."

He muttered, looked at the sea beside him, and then looked thoughtfully at the clouds gathering from all directions above his head, and then carried the obedient fish towards the forest at the end of the beach.

The characteristics of the homing bait rewarded not long ago are very interesting. It can allow Renly to attract a large number of fish in the sea water, as if he himself has become a powerful bait.

This made his diving and catching fish extremely easy, and he could even pick and choose, as if he was visiting a fish market...

At this time, Renly was wearing a brown linen short-sleeved shirt and pants of the same color and material. His bare feet stepped on the pebbles in front of the beach, leaving a trail of wet footprints. The pants soaked in sea water seemed a little heavy and black, but soon became lighter due to the heat of the surrounding environment.

Stepping into the palm forest full of fallen leaves, bursts of trivial noises came from all around, sneaky mice, silent lurking venomous snakes, buzzing beetles, and big crabs that looked hard and fat lying on the trees with their claws stretched out.

The triangular shed made of leaves and branches was built at the edge of the forest, close to the water source. There were palm trees all around. Not far away, on a low rock, a washed red satin top and trousers and two brown-black leather jackets were drying. A black-backed herring gull was squatting on Renly's jacket, pecking at the soft material on the side of the leather lining with its beak.

Seeing this, Renly hurried forward to chase it away, and the bird fled in panic, and a burst of laughter came from behind.

Turning around, Rhaenys, who was wearing similar clothes, was squatting in the open space in front of the leaf shed to make a fire and boil water. Seeing Renly looking at her, she pretended to be displeased and said, "Why are you chasing it? I'm betting whether it will poop on your clothes."

"Betting with yourself? Then you are really boring." Renly rolled his eyes, walked closer and handed the fish in his hand to the other party.

"Strange, how come you can catch salmon every day? Are there schools of salmon around here?"

She asked in confusion after taking it, but she didn't expect that as soon as it left Renly's hand, the fish, which had been obedient, began to struggle vigorously.

Caught off guard, Rhaenys lost her grip and let it fall to the ground. She screamed and squatted down to hold the fish tightly. There was no sound, but there was a huge force in her slender hands, so the fish's eyes bulged and its struggle became very weak.

All this made Renly's eyes twitch. But the other party stood up as if nothing happened, and threw the fish in his hand into the shell pot that had been boiled aside. He did not dislike the dust and leaves on the fish at all.

This was their nineteenth day on the island.

Ever since Rhaenys cried a while ago, she has become docile, or in other words, she has worked hard without complaining. She no longer mentions the past or exudes negative emotions.

Except for sometimes sitting melancholy on the beach in a daze, she seems to have really cheered up. Not only has she started to take the initiative to share all kinds of tedious tasks, she is even thinking about making fish soup by herself.

In the clearing of the forest, the bottom of the carefully selected large shell was scorched black by the flames. The boiling water in it kept overflowing with foam at the edge. As the fish stopped struggling, a special smell gradually spread out soon after. .

That obviously wouldn't taste good. Renly, who was sharpening a branch with a dagger, suddenly remembered that the other party didn't scale or process the fish at all, but just threw the fish in...

But seeing this person squatting in front of the fire with a cheerful look, he didn't have the nerve to remind him.

So it was obvious that I couldn't drink the fish soup this time.

The hot boiled fish was finally cut into two parts with a dagger. Looking at the half fish body mixed with internal organs that was filled with steam rising from the big shell, Renly felt that his picky eating habits seemed to have recurred...

Looking up to the opposite side of the fire, the woman sitting on the tree stump seemed quite satisfied with her masterpiece. She was now cutting off a piece of fish with a dagger and chewing it in her mouth.

So he stopped thinking about it, sighed, turned the dagger in his hand and began to cut carefully.

While he was just cutting, he suddenly felt a little quiet around him. He couldn't help but look up, only to find that the woman opposite had already put down the food. She was sitting there with her chin propped up on her hand, her purple eyes unblinking. Stare at yourself.

"What's wrong with you?" Renly asked.

Looking at him quietly, Rhaenys didn't answer for a long time, but when Renly was about to ignore it, she suddenly spoke: "You know, when I was a child, I thought about what would happen if I was not a Targaryen."

Renly raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but the other party did not stop talking.

"If I were from Westeros, then I might have been born into a lord's family. In this case, I would not be able to escape the fate of marriage. If I'm lucky, I will be married to someone of the same age. If I'm not lucky, I will be married to someone of the same age. I can only be a bad old man. And if I am from a small lord family, maybe my father will be too poor to afford a dowry, and then I will be sent to be a nun, or I will be lowered in status and marry some loyal knight. Nun is not bad, but it will definitely be boring.”

"It would be very bad if I were a peasant girl. It is very likely that I would be married to a man with a foul mouth, a drunkard, or a loser. I might also be targeted by a certain lord and give birth to a bunch of illegitimate children. No matter what Do I want to?"

She said, seeing that Renly's expression seemed strange, she couldn't help but glare at him.

"What are you looking at? I will definitely be stared at if I am so beautiful. The lords of Westeros have always been very barbaric. They actually have such a bad right of first night... You know the first time I heard about this was How does it feel?"

"I don't know, but I can imagine." Renly shrugged.

"This is actually not the worst thing." Rhaenys said: "There are slaves everywhere outside Westeros. You can be beaten or scolded. If you are killed, no one will make a decision for you. If you want to be beautiful, you will be born at a certain age. I would be sent to be trained as a slave girl and learn some messy things. If I were born there, I might as well die early.”

"So you are very lucky." Renly agreed: "As a Targaryen, you are the only one who can enslave others. Who dares to enslave you."

"Yes, the Targaryen motto is blood and fire." She murmured, and suddenly sighed: "But if there were no dragons, whose blood would be shed? Whose would be burned? Where is home?”

Renly, who was about to replace him and be promoted to the royal family, actually had a say in this, but he didn't say anything - the person in front of him was just expressing his feelings after losing the dragon.

The atmosphere fell into silence for a while. Renly didn't speak. The other person's eyes staring at the fire were also in a daze. It wasn't until the flames became a little weaker that she looked at Renly again.

"Am I beautiful?" she asked.

Her silver-blonde hair, which was originally cut short, has now grown to the level of her ears. Her face is delicate and neat, her purple eyes are flowing, and her emotions of joy and sorrow make her look a little weak, but also have a unique style.

It was an obvious thing, so Renly nodded.

The corner of the other party's mouth curled up when he saw this.

"So what's your impression of me? How do you feel?"

"I don't feel like you are thirty-five years old at all." Renly's words made the other party narrow his eyes, but then he smiled.

"Instead, she looks like a fifteen-year-old girl."

So she couldn't help but said: "You know, I tested you at first and suspected that you didn't like women, but later I found that you were not unresponsive, you were just more polite and educated... nothing like those in Westeros. Bad man."

"So now it's another test?" Renly felt that the other party was teasing him.

"You can think so." Renis rested her chin on her hand and looked at the black-haired man opposite her intently, and said slowly: "I'm actually ready. If we are trapped here all the time, then is there any other possibility? You are a good man, knowledgeable and polite. Although you always lie, I can feel that you really want to help me. Most importantly, I don't hate you."

When she spoke, her eyes were inexplicable, like happy and sad, relieved, but also with a trace of imperceptible depression and decadence.

After hearing the voice, Renly didn't say anything. After looking at the other party quietly for a few times, he suddenly put down the shell plate in his hand, stood up and walked out of the woods.

"I'll get another fish, this one is not edible at all."

Seeing this, Renis was stunned, and then hurriedly shouted: "Then come back early, I think the weather is not good."

Renly waved his hand without looking back, looking up as he walked.

The endless clouds in the sky outside the shade of the trees have become dark and gloomy, and the chill around us is getting worse.

The wind is blowing, and it's very strong.
