At this moment, she was like white jade, extremely beautiful.
The sun shines on her snow-white skin, seeming to emit a holy halo.
Her body was half-covered and half-exposed between the quilt and sheets, her shoulders and arms stretched out from under the sheets, her collarbones formed two shallow arcs under the skin, and the rise and fall of her chest cast tiny shadows in the sunlight.
Thinking about how he blasphemed all night last night, I felt a little guilty.
He pulled up the quilt and covered her body, blocking out all the spring light. He tucked the edge of the quilt under her shoulders to make sure that she would not be awakened by the afternoon chill.
Then he quietly left the room and closed the door gently behind him.
Redd When he came to the hall, the cook and servants had already prepared the food.
Because you only need to prepare food for one person Redd, it is relatively simple, just bread, fresh fruits, fish soup and a large portion of roast lamb.
The bread is freshly baked, with a golden and crispy outer shell. When cut open, the inside is soft and white and still steaming.
The fresh fruits are Dragonstone locally grown apples and pears, cut into slices and stacked in ceramic plates, with water droplets still on the surface.
The fish soup is made from fresh fish caught in the nearby sea. The soup is milky white in color with a few green vanilla leaves floating on the surface.
Roast lamb is the highlight. A large piece of bone-in lamb leg is roasted until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The fat on the surface shines under the light, and when you cut it open, you can see the meat juice oozing out from the fibers.
Redd sat down at the table and started eating. He moved very quickly, stuffing large chunks of mutton into his mouth, tearing the meat apart with his teeth, chewing it a few times and swallowing it.
He picked up the fish soup and drank most of the bowl, then put it back on the table and continued to deal with the mutton. He tore the bread into several pieces and ate them with the gravy on the bottom of the plate.
Halfway through eating, a sound of footsteps came from the corridor.
The sounds were one heavy and two light - the heavier one was the steps of an adult, the sound of soles stepping on the stone slabs was steady and regular; the two softer ones were the footsteps of children, faster and more broken, like moving in the corridor at a trot.
Redd did not raise his head when he heard the footsteps and continued to tear a piece of mutton from the bones.
The footsteps stopped for a moment at the door of the restaurant, and then the door was pushed open. His wife Rhaenyra walked in with their son and daughter.
Redd When he saw the two children, the casual expression on his face due to eating meat softened slightly, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth became a little softer.
He doesn't have much feelings for his wife Rhaenyra.
Their marriage was based on political interests from the beginning. She needed his strength to stabilize her inheritance, and he needed her identity to gain support from House Targaryen.
This relationship had some tacit understanding of cooperation in the initial stage, but as time went by, there were more and more differences between them and the relationship became increasingly cold.
But as a father of two children, he still pays close attention to them.
Jaehaerys and Visenya stood on both sides of Rhaenyra. Jaehaerys was taller than the last time he saw it. The outline of his shoulders and arms began to reveal the boy's growing strength.
Visenya's hair was tied into two braids and hung down on her chest. Her eyes quickly found Redd's position after entering the door, and she kept staring at him.
The two children have reached an age where they have begun to understand and it is time to start learning.
Regarding the future and growth trajectory of the two children, Redd does not want to interfere too much.
He does not intend to force them onto a particular path or decide for them what they will do in the future.
But in terms of education, he must let them understand the basic knowledge of magic and Demon Dragon.
Something connected with dragons flows in their blood. The knowledge and mastery of magic in this world is one of the fundamental foundations for House Targaryen to rule Westeros.
If they do not understand these, they will not be able to gain a foothold in the court of Dragonstone or Westeros in the future.
Mesalia has been teaching them some basic reading, writing and arithmetic, and has also told them some stories about dragons and the history of House Targaryen.
So what the two little guys should learn next is to understand the magic system of this world and how to control dragons.
Redd took out two books from the system space and placed them on the desktop.
The appearance of the two books is exactly the same. The covers are made of some scales and flesh of Valyrian steel and King Ghidorah.
The background color of the cover is a dull metallic color, with several irregular scales embedded on the surface. The edges of the scales are polished smooth and flush with the metal surface.
The pages are made of specially treated Valyrian steel sheets, which are as thin as cicada wings but maintain sufficient toughness and will not break when turning the pages.
The words in the book were written using a special magic potion mixed with his own blood.
Therefore, the weight of the whole book is not too heavy, and the cover and pages together are equivalent to an ordinary thick-cover book.
Moreover, it is indestructible, basically cannot be destroyed, and even has certain self-recovery capabilities.
If the pages of a book are torn or the cover is smashed, the pieces will slowly put back together to restore their complete form.
The words above can only be seen by those with his bloodline, others cannot see the words at all when they open it.
Redd In order to prevent the magic above from leaking out, pits were buried in it when writing two books.
If people who don't have his bloodline use the above magic, there will definitely be a backlash of magic energy. The more you use it, the faster you will die.
Of course, this pitfall was not actually intentional by Redd.
After all, Ice Magic and Fire Magic come from Cold God and Red God, and the essence of Blood Magic comes from blood sacrifice. In fact, all three magics have flaws. The more they are used, the more susceptible they are to the influence of gods.
The blood power in Redd's body is immune to these defects and is not affected by the god's belief power system.
Redd The modified part is just to dig the hole a little bigger. Without the power of blood to support it, the price paid for using these magics will come faster and harder. It is easy to grow old and ugly. It is possible to go crazy on the spot or even explode into a blood mist.
Redd dug this hole deliberately just to see who would fall for it, which was also considered as his bad taste.
He handed the book recording Blood and Fire Magic to his son Jaehaerys, and handed the book recording Ice Magic to his daughter Visenya.
Jaehaerys held the book in both hands as he took it, as if he were picking up an object heavier than his own weight.
He looked down at the cover and lightly touched the surface of the scales with his fingers, his eyes shining with the excitement of being allowed to touch something important.
When Visenya took the book, he did not hold it like his brother, but held it with one hand. He opened the cover with the other hand, took a look at the contents, and then raised his head and looked at Redd:
"Father, what is written here? Why can I see the words but others can't?"
