Chapter 26

Standing on the stool, the boy was lying on the windowsill, facing the salty and wet sea breeze, breathing the light burnt paste and bloody smell in the air, and his silver blond curls were slightly rubbed on his white forehead.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The distant bell had stopped, but the boy's inner boredom did not disappear.

He hated this feeling and left his fate to others, because this naval battle directly determined his life and death.

If the dragonstone fleet is defeated, he, his mother and Renee can't escape wherever they hide.

After all, Longshi island is so big.

The sea is like a cage, holding them here, even without room to escape.

Wesselis decided that after this, if the longstone Island fleet could repel the incoming enemy, he would do something to change his current situation.

Like

Persuade her mother to give up Longshi island and lead the fleet to the east continent.

However, wesselis also knows that it is very difficult to do this. After all, Longshi island is of great significance to the tangaryan family.

Although he has been crowned wesselis targaryan III, he is still young, and even the so-called 'King' is only a name, not even the guard at the door.

A "King" who is only seven years old and has lost his throne and fled all the way has no power at all. Even directing a servant needs his mother's nod.

In addition to the fleet commander, Queen Leila's words are decisive on the whole Longshi island.

While wesselis was thinking, he suddenly seemed to think of something.

Since the Lannister family attacked her on her way to escape six months ago, reneth has the habit of having nightmares in the middle of the night.

The little girl was often awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night. Then she cried and ran to wesselis's house for comfort.

The two children's room is very close. Reneth's bedroom is next door to wesselis. Only holding her "brother" several years older than her can the little girl with brown hair sleep safely again.

In fact, both of them are miserable people, and reneth has lost her parents.

Tonight, for many reasons, the old bachelor died of illness and swallowed his last breath.

Then came the fleet attack from nowhere. Wesselis was full of wishful thinking and forgot about reneth for a time.

According to the past, just outside the bell spread all over Longshi Island, reneth should have been awakened.

However, up to now, there is no movement in reneth's bedroom.

Didn't wake up?

Wesselis tilted his head slightly, leaned out of the castle against the windowsill, and looked at reneth's bedroom next to him.

Under him was a cliff tens of meters deep. The waves kept rushing forward, and then beat on the broken rocks under the castle.

Wesselis's courage grew a lot, so he leaned out and didn't worry about falling accidentally.

However, after sticking out her head and looking at the next window, reneth's bedroom was dark without any light.

"It seems that I really didn't wake up..."

"That's strange."

The silver blond hair fluttered. The boy blinked, thought a little, and then retracted his body.

He picked up the short sword on the windowsill, put it in his hand, jumped down from the small stool, and then walked quickly towards the bedroom door.

Squeak——

Wesselis opened the door of his bedroom.

Outside the door, there were two fully armed bodyguards, wearing ring armor and long swords at their waist.

Wesselis wanted to go out, but was stopped by two bodyguards.

"Your Highness."

The two bodyguards looked at the little king with a bitter smile on their faces. Although they had been crowned king, wesselis himself did not take it seriously.

The bodyguards did not even change their words and still called wesselis' Your Highness'.

But now I didn't expect Sir William to be right. Your highness is not willing to hide in the house. He will find something to do.

This time, however, they were wrong.

Wesselis slightly spread out his hand, a little helpless, and then pointed to reneth's room next door.

"I'm just looking for reneth. Of course I won't run around."

The reason for the silver haired boy is naturally sufficient. After all, the good relationship between the two children is a fact that everyone in the whole castle can see.

Reneth always likes to pester wesselis. Even when he is practicing sword, reneth is willing to sit in the shade of a tree to accompany him.

Moreover, reneth always made a "slip of the tongue" and called wesselis "brother". After being educated by Queen Leila several times, she reluctantly changed her name to "Uncle", but the little girl's face was still full of reluctance.

Indeed, there is no more complicated reason for a child, and it will not involve the thoughts of adults.

In her simple opinion, wesselis was not much older than her. They were of the same age.

But she was a generation older than her for no reason, so she deliberately called wesselis her brother, but wesselis didn't care about it.

"Since you are looking for your highness, Princess..."

The two guards looked at each other, hesitated slightly, and then nodded.

After all, reneth's bedroom is next door, and the little king doesn't run around. If he doesn't even agree to this request, it really seems a little inhumane.

"All right."

WOW——

The metal friction of the armor made a sound.

Then the two bodyguards held the sword handle in one hand, nodded, and then made way.

"Thank you."

And wesselis nodded, and then suddenly thought of something as he walked past them.

Stop slightly and stand in front of reneth's door. At the moment, you can't directly see wesselis from the corner.

Then the boy looked up and asked casually.

"Then... Is there a guard on the mother's side?"

After all, too many things have happened tonight. There is a naval battle going on outside. If the Longshi Island fleet is defeated, none of them can escape.

However, wesselis thought of another thing.

If the whole army of Longshi Island fleet goes out to fight with the enemy, doesn't it mean that the coastline of Longshi island is completely undefended at this time?

Any small boat can take advantage of the night to land quietly and then land.

There is only one small fishing village on Longshi island because it is barren. As the Lord of Longshi Island, he can hardly summon soldiers who can fight.

On the whole island, only dozens of guards in the castle have defense strength. However, the castle is extremely huge, and these guards can't do everything at all.

Hearing the little king's words, the two bodyguards were stunned. They didn't think as much as wesselis, but they nodded firmly.

"Of course!"

"Her Majesty's side is also protected by guards."

However, between the three people talking.

Bang——

Suddenly there was a sound of bow strings, and a crossbow shot out in the dark.
