Chapter 247: The Change of Renis
night.
Viserys finally returned to his bedroom.
Since Viserys left, no one else was allowed in or out of this room on weekdays, so a thin layer of dust had accumulated on the desks and wardrobes in his bedroom.
Viserys' bedroom was not very large, but it was decorated in a very elegant style, with frescoed stone pillars supporting the ceiling, fine tapestries hanging from the walls, and flames rising from the fireplace to dispel the cold of winter nights.
Now an old maid with a wrinkled forehead, dressed in a plain gray robe and wrapped in a gray turban, was tidying up the room in Viserys' bedroom, holding a rag in her hand.
And Viserys was standing on the stone balcony of the bedroom, looking out the window.
It's dead of night now.
He hasn't come back for three or four months, and he does feel a little homesick, but what he misses more is Renice and the other little guy.
After that, the boy's thoughts didn't know where to start, and Viserys sighed softly while leaning on the balcony.
"His Royal Highness, are you feeling homesick?"
And the old maid who was cleaning his room in the bedroom heard Viserys sigh.
Then he didn't stop his work, just raised his head to look at Viserys' back, and asked in a hoarse voice.
As Viserys said when he met Jon before, there are not many people who subconsciously call him His Royal Highness now.
The old maid in front of her was one of them. She was the maid of Viserys' mother, Queen Layla, who had come to the Red Keep even when Layla was a girl.
She watched Layla grow up, married Aerys, became a mother, gave birth to Rhaegar and Viserys, and later witnessed the collapse of the Targaryen mansion, and fled with Layla to Dragonstone island.
The old maid used to change Viserys' diapers and toddled in the garden holding his hand as a child.
But there are many things that his mother, Queen Layla, told him later, Viserys did not remember at that time.
On the eve of the fall of King's Landing, his father Aerys used his last sobriety to order the removal of his queen and his son.
The old maid dressed Viserys at that time, then met her mother, and was hastily put on a carriage to flee King's Landing.
"Sophia"
When Viserys heard the old maid's words, she turned her head to look at her, opened her mouth to say something, but was at a loss for words.
However, he finally shook his head and said.
"Do not"
"I don't miss the Red Keep."
The Red Keep was the beginning of everything for Viserys, but he didn't miss life in the Red Keep.
Because it wasn't him there, but another Viserys.
"I think the concept of 'home' is not a place, but a 'people'."
Viserys looked out of the window at Andalus, which was gradually falling into silence. This was a city he created with his own hands. It was like planting a seed, and then watering it diligently, watching the seed gradually take root and sprout, and eventually grow into a a small tree.
"As long as there is family, no matter where you are, it's still home."
Viserys spoke in a calm voice, and then he was silent for a while and then changed the subject and continued.
"Mother-in-law, how are Renice and Daenerys doing?"
The relationship between the two girls, Renice and Daenerys, is actually not very harmonious, perhaps because of the conflicting personalities of the two.
Reness grew up with Daenerys, but the two often bickered, and only when Viserys was around would they be more restrained.
"Little Dany is still the same."
"Nice and sensible."
Speaking of the two girls, the old maid said with a smile.
"Now I often play in the Kingswood under the protection of Sir Avon and his guards."
"Danny willing to run out and play?"
And Viserys turned his head slightly when he heard the old maid's words, showing a little surprise on his face.
Daenerys is introverted and likes to be quiet. When Renice is always noisy and running out to play, the little silver-haired girl always likes to stay in the house alone, and is afraid of going out to play and even more afraid of seeing strangers.
In fact, it was mainly the fire that made the girl a little ashamed to meet people.
"Yes, little Danny's character is much more lively."
The old maid said, and then continued.
"And speaking of the eldest princess."
"Recently, Her Royal Highness's personality has also changed significantly."
"Maybe little Renice has really grown up."
Even though Reness is a few years older than Daenerys, they are all treated the same in the old maid.
"Oh?"
And Viserys was a little surprised when he heard the old maid's words, but he was really concerned about the changes in Sophia's words about Renice.
After Viserys left Andalos, the city was entrusted to Renis. Although there is no maester to assist her, Renis did a good job, at least there was no major trouble.
After all, the camp where her uncle Oberyn was stationed was not far from Andalos, and if there was any problem, Oberyn would take care of his niece at any time.
In this exercise, the girls also experienced some significant changes.
"What's wrong with Lenis?"
Viserys turned and asked, leaning on the stone balcony.
"The temperament of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has restrained a lot."
"And I began to earnestly study the female red and the ruling experience. If there is any problem, I will write to Prince Oberon for advice."
"It really has the appearance of a noble princess."
Having said that, the old maid's wrinkled face showed a smile.
The former Renice had a lively personality and was the devil in the castle. She did not like ladylike education, music, poetry, singing, dancing and embroidery.
Instead, like a tomboy, he likes to dance with knives and guns.
At that time, Renice's education problem once gave Sophia a deep headache. After all, it is the responsibility of the bachelor to teach the prince, and it is the responsibility of an old nurse like Sophia to teach the princess well.
However, now, perhaps the former girl has grown up and gradually understands the responsibilities on her shoulders, and wants to take the initiative to share some of the pressure for Viserys.
Because Renice knew very well that she was the one Viserys trusted most.
If she didn't help Viserys, Viserys would be lonely fighting alone.
"Perhaps, Her Royal Highness really wants to help you."
The old maid said.
"Is it…"
And Viserys listened to the old maid's words, raised his head slightly and stood still.
The next morning.
Viserys woke up early from his sleep, rested in Andalos for a night, and today he will return to Pentos on a dragon.
He left Pantos without saying a word, and if he didn't go back for a long time, there might be trouble, and Viserys was not at ease, and he still had a lot of work in Pantos than last night.
However, after he got up in the morning and packed his clothes and had breakfast with Renice and Danny, a letter was suddenly delivered to him.
Coming from a place he didn't expect, slightly hindering Viserys' journey.
