Author: Leaning on the railing and letting the wind blow

"Varys?" He muttered repeatedly, and then looked at the king's intelligence chief carefully.

People call him the eight-legged spider. He has a thick scent of powder, fine and comfortable silk clothes, and a humble smile on his face.

"Hello, sir." Cole responded to his greeting.

He nodded slightly, "Please call me by my first name, my lord. Forgive me for interrupting, but if you want to ask for directions, no one knows this castle better than me. After all, I have been here since Aerys was in power.

Just stay here."

"That's been a long time. You should go to the academy to compile the history of the kingdom, my lord."

"Meow~"

There was a one-eared black cat that jumped across the corridor, disrupting the pace of the two of them. It rushed across, extremely domineering.

Both of them couldn't help but stare at the back of the black cat. They heard the eunuch say, "This is an old friend. I never knew its whereabouts. I didn't expect it to be here."

"Is there anything else you don't know?"

"Except for the gods in the sky, no one knows everything." The eunuch smiled lightly. "That is the cat raised by Princess Rhaenys in the past. She is a lovely little baby, as beautiful as her mother.

She always held her black cat. She named the black cat Balerion, but there is a difference between a black cat and a black dragon, my lord."

"I heard that Armory Lodge dragged her out from under the bed and stabbed her 'fifty times'. This is a clear figure." His tone was quite cold. "How many times can you stab a four-year-old child?

Knife, sir."

"This is really a cruel question." He looked helpless, "but sometimes maybe a glass of poppy milk can relieve an old man's pain more than a knife."

Cole seemed to have read through his mind.

"I heard that you were raised by the night watchman, sir." the eunuch asked.

"Well, I grew up on the Great Wall."

"At the beginning, Aegon V sent two hundred honorary guards to escort his brother, and also sent his Kingsguard Sir Duncan." Varys sighed, "The letter from the Great Wall has come, and the Night's Watch has also come, but the Kingdom's

It was too hard to take care of the north. Alliser Thorne once came to King's Landing with a short hand. Although Lord Tyrion laughed at him, he still let him take some people back."

"You mean Maester Aemon?" It's hard to imagine how the maester felt when he received this news. How much he loved his children and his family.

The eunuch nodded, "Rhaegar often used birds to deliver messages to the Great Wall when he was in the Red Keep. He seems to have a good relationship with our maester."

"Why are you telling me these things? Sir." Cole looked at him in confusion.

The eunuch smiled mysteriously, then sighed sadly, "It's easy to fall into memories when we get old. Where are you going? Sir, please let me give you a ride."

He led the way, chatting politely from time to time.

At the opposite corner of the Maiden's House, Cole returned to the rest house arranged for him.

"Thank you very much." Cole thanked him.

The eunuch's hands were hidden in his sleeves, "It's an honor to serve you, my dear lord."

As if he suddenly remembered something, he took out a note from his sleeve and said, "Sir, someone left something for you in a blacksmith shop on Steel Street. Maybe you can find time to take a look."

Cole took the note, and Varys walked slowly and quietly, leaving his back silently.

Eight-legged spider - Varys.

He has a group of little birds under his command, who possess the most detailed information about the Seven Kingdoms, and nothing in the Red Keep can be hidden from him.

This is an extremely complicated person, and it's hard to guess what he wants.

He does not crave power and status like Littlefinger Petyr Baelish, and his position is also ambiguous.

Dangerous, he is dangerous.

Cole didn't know why he came into contact with him, but there must be a reason.

He looked at the note in his hand, which was a simple map.

"Sir Cole." Jose came over.

He put the note away and walked into the guest room of the palace.

The cobblestone road connects the guest house. His greetings are placed in a small inner courtyard. He passes through the oak door of the courtyard. There is a small flower bed and a pomegranate tree in the front yard. Two guards guard the door and a hanging hanging in front of the door.

Flaming white bird banner.

"Lord Cole." The guard greeted him.

Cole nodded and walked into the door frame, accompanied by only two knights. Because the relationship between his camp and King's Landing was quite tense, he didn't go anywhere and just drank idly in the yard.

"Sir, you are back." Little Fatty Duran stood up. He was the knight accompanying him.

"Don't you want to go for a walk? There should be a lot of acquaintances here." Cole sat down and asked Jose to sit down at the same time.

Duran shook his head. He didn't want to be associated with those traitors.

Cole picked up the flagon and poured himself some wine.

"You seem to be very familiar with the little evil Tyrion Lannister, my lord." Duran asked.

"We met on the Great Wall. At that time, the king was still Robert Baratheon. He followed Robert north to Winterfell, and then stopped by the Great Wall. I went south with him, but later we separated for some reasons.

."

"They said it was because of the little devil's flames and iron chains that we were defeated." Duran whispered, and finally said the word "little devil".

Cole nodded. Tyrion's arrangement really hit Stannis's army hard. He bought precious time for Tywin Lannister's reinforcements to arrive on the battlefield, and almost blocked Stannis's retreat.

road.

He was not in a state of intoxication, and he felt a little drunk at this time. He didn't know how much he drank with Tyrion, look at his confused look.

After drinking with Duran for a while, he returned to his room to rest.

Feather down bed, silk blanket.

At midnight, he felt something furry at his feet.

Cole stood up in fright and reached out to grab the sword placed beside the bed.

Those are a pair of green eyes.

His breathing rose and fell, the moonlight cast rays of light on his face, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were like gems embedded in his silver hair.

"Meow~"

A cat meows.

Then in the moonlight he could clearly see the appearance of the one-eared cat. It was the black cat that had passed him and Varys in the corridor of the castle.

Those eyes looked at him coldly, walking slowly from the edge of the bed.

The black cat walked directly to his pillow, then leaned down and curled up into a ball.

Cole put the sword down and it turned out to be just a cat.

"Are you Balerion?" He unexpectedly started talking to a cat.

The black cat raised his head to look at him.

But it's not cute at all, with missing ears and a scarred face.

For some reason, his heart suddenly tightened and he felt a little sad.

"It's not easy to live in such a big castle, isn't it?" He reached out and touched its head.
