#31 - Chapter 31 I'm going to school
Ten days had passed in the blink of an eye since arriving in King's Landing. As a large city with a population of over 400,000, King's Landing was home to merchants from all over the world.
They brought all kinds of goods, and he was very interested in many novel things. Fortunately, he had made a small fortune some time ago, so he had spare money to spend. Luckily, the space backpack had already been activated, so the things he bought could be stored inside without taking up space. After a rough test, the space was about 27 cubic meters. He had already stuffed all his belongings into it.
What he couldn't stand the most was the air in King's Landing. The excrement of all kinds of people and animals and sewage were everywhere on the streets. The smell was truly indescribable. The situation in the commercial district in the west of the city was better because the sea breeze blowing from Blackwater Bay diluted the smell. He heard that the situation in the northeast of King's Landing was even worse, as it was a notorious slum.
As soon as he returned to the inn, he received a notice that Count Adrian wanted him to go to his room. It was still Roy who came to deliver the message. Although Roy had lost an arm and was disfigured, he had proven his loyalty to the lord and was even more valued.
Roy: "Garon, where have you been? The Count wants you to go to his room. You'd better hurry up! Don't keep the Count waiting." Although his face was frightening, his attitude was still good. No matter which world you were in, capable people would be respected by others.
Liu Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, Steward Roy. Sorry to keep you waiting. I'll go back to my room and change my clothes and be right there." He returned to his room, changed into clean clothes, and washed up briefly.
This was his first formal meeting with the Count, and he estimated they would discuss his arrangements. Under normal circumstances, lords would not be too harsh on bastards, and Liu Yuan had saved the lives of Becot and Lyanna this time.
In fact, from Liu Yuan's point of view, sitting idly by and watching Becot die would have been most in line with his interests. If the Settigar family lost its legitimate heir, Liu Yuan might have become the next Count of Crab Island. But using a child's life to trade for his own future, he didn't know about others, but Liu Yuan couldn't do it.
Arriving at the lord's residence on the third floor, the guard standing at the door saw that it was Liu Yuan. The guard gave him a friendly smile, turned his head and gently knocked on the door. After receiving a response, he walked in and said, "Count, Garon has arrived."
A deep voice said, "Let him in!"
The guard came out and motioned for him to enter. After Liu Yuan entered the room, he gently closed the door. Liu Yuan lowered his head and walked into the room, quickly glanced at the Count and his wife sitting there drinking tea, and he pretended to be respectful and said, "Good day, Count, Countess. Steward Roy said you wanted to see me."
The scene was quiet for a while, and then the Countess spoke first: "Garon, I want to express my gratitude to you for what happened before. Thanks to your bravery, my children and I were able to escape from the hands of the outlaws." As she spoke, she stood up and gave a noblewoman's courtesy.
Liu Yuan said, "Madam, this is what I should do. I grew up in Settigar Castle and am also a member of the family. It's impossible for me to see you in danger and sit idly by."
The Countess smiled and said, "Garon, you are a good child. I hope we can become a real family." She had a very good impression of this clean child. Moreover, Garon had proven his value, and the Countess also planned to win over a capable assistant for her son.
Count Adrian said, "Mia, you go out first! I have something to ask Garon myself."
The Countess nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go see the children. Little Garon, you should get closer to Becot in the future." She smiled very kindly at Liu Yuan and patted the Count's hand as she left.
Lady Mia left the room, and the room fell silent again, leaving only the two of them staring at each other. Liu Yuan stared at Adrian with an innocent look, his big eyes flashing, pretending to be naive, who wouldn't! "Cough cough..." In the end, Adrian couldn't hold back and took the initiative to speak: "You should know your identity, right?"
Liu Yuan nodded: "I had some guesses. The servants in the castle talked about it."
Adrian said: "The rumors are true. I am your father. In fact, I have been paying attention to you all these years, but because of your identity, I can't show you too much affection."
Liu Yuan: "I can understand. I'm just an ordinary 'Veilwater'. If I annoy the head grandmother, I probably won't grow up."
Adrian was a little surprised by Liu Yuan's precociousness: "At first, you had very obvious 'dragonseed' characteristics. I planned to let you return to the family as a collateral branch. I didn't expect that as you grew older, these characteristics gradually disappeared. So it's not easy to arrange, so I had to let you be a blacksmith's apprentice first. Park and Bandil have both said that you are very smart, but your growth is really beyond my expectations..." As he spoke, he looked Liu Yuan up and down. He couldn't imagine how a weak body could accomplish such a feat.
Liu Yuan said, "You should know that I eat more than others and am stronger than many teenagers. During this time in Harrenhal, I have been asking the soldiers for advice and practicing fighting skills in the Weeping Tower every day. Those bandits didn't take me seriously at first. Many of them were shot to death by my hand crossbow."
Adrian said with great approval: "I heard from Mia that when the bandits were about to swing their knives at Becot, you stepped forward and saved him."
Liu Yuan: "Young Master Becot is very kind, and many people in the castle like him. And behind him is Miss Lyanna, who is not even three years old."
Adrian: "The Countess has agreed to accept you. You will return to the family as an adopted son and inherit the Settigar family name openly. In addition, in view of your contributions, you have the right to choose your own future path. Do you want to stay in the family to learn how to manage the industry, or go out to experience the world? I can find you an excellent knight tutor." The Count was very satisfied with Liu Yuan's attitude towards his half-siblings, and also wanted to seek a better way out for him.
Liu Yuan pondered for a while and said, "Thank you, Countess. If possible, I would like to go to the Citadel. I have always yearned for the outside world since I was a child. I heard that there is the most abundant knowledge of Westeros there. If I can return after completing my studies, I will definitely be able to make more contributions to the family and may be able to help Young Master Becot in the future."
Adrian was a little surprised to hear Liu Yuan's choice: "You want to become a maester? Well, I will consider your request." In Westeros, the status of maesters is also very high. They are indispensable assistants and strategists for lords. Although the dispatch of maesters is determined by the Citadel, they usually serve other families, but it can be manipulated.
Liu Yuan bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Count."
Count Adrian: "Actually, you can call me father. In the future, Becot and Lyanna will be your older brother and younger sister. As for the ceremony for your return to the family, it will be held after returning to Crab Island. I will use a raven to apply for your study at the Citadel. Go back and rest well tomorrow. The family's fleet will arrive."
