She wasn't lying.

Although Renis is kind-hearted, if this woman continues to speak recklessly, Renis will order her execution or allow her to find a knight to take her place in a trial by combat.

Melisandre naturally heard Reines' warning, gave a slight bow, but remained calm.

Seemingly oblivious to the fact that the guards around her had already placed their hands on their sword hilts, she neither denied nor agreed with Renis's words. Instead, she paused for a moment, then changed the subject and continued speaking.

"Everyone must make a choice."

"In the future, regardless of gender, age, or social status, there will be no difference in choices."

"Seek light, or follow darkness."

“Promote good, or follow evil.”

"Believe in Allah, or worship false gods."

“I do not deny the nobility of your uncle, His Majesty Viserys Targaryen III.”

The red-robed witch stood quietly in the center of the hall, her voice slowly echoing.

"on the contrary."

"I believe that His Majesty is the reincarnation of the savior Azor Ahai, and in the future he will wield a flaming sword called the Lightbringer, also known as the Hero's Red Sword, and awaken the dragon from the rocks to end this eternal conflict."

Melisandre's words were somewhat cryptic, seemingly containing some profound truths, yet ultimately sounding like utter nonsense.

Renis and the guards around her were all confused, while only the maester seemed to understand some of the witch's words and stared wide-eyed in shock.

"Your Highness, I believe this red-robed witch should be driven away immediately."

"Her words are dangerous."

The scholar then took a deep breath and whispered his advice in Renis's ear.

However, Renis remained silent for a long time before finally shaking her head and not taking her teacher's advice to drive away the red witch.

“Master Gunther, she’s here to see Viserys, I can’t just send her away like this.”

"Let him handle this when he gets back."

Chapter 144 The Death of Mili

"In that case..."

"You should rest in the castle for now."

Having made up her mind, Renis dismissed the red-robed witch and instructed the servants to prepare a room for her to stay in the castle temporarily.

Everything will be decided after Viserys returns.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Melisandre bowed slightly in gratitude after her request to see the master of Andalus was granted.

The woman then looked up at the three people in the hall, but her gaze lingered briefly on Mili before she left the hall.

"The followers of the Lord of Light are skilled in fire magic."

Only after the red-robed witch's figure disappeared from the hall did Miri, the magic advisor, speak up to explain.

"And this red-robed witch who claims to be from Assassin may have magic superior to mine."

The ugly witch made no attempt to hide her true feelings, directly acknowledging that her opponent's strength was even more unfathomable.

Then.

Everyone else had left the hall, leaving only Renis sitting alone on the throne.

She sent everyone else away just so she could be alone for a while.

The young girl raised her delicate hand and removed the crown from her head, gently holding it between her hands. Her beautiful black eyes gazed at the sunlight streaming in from outside the hall, a rare moment of reverie on her face.

During Viserys's expedition to expand his territory, Renis was under a lot of pressure.

In fact, perhaps no one has noticed that Renis's personality is also gradually changing.

...

However, not long afterward did it happen.

Sunset and moonrise.

On her first night in the castle, Melisandre experienced an unexpected incident.

"what happened?"

"Oh my God, how could this happen?"

The servants whispered among themselves and then gasped.

Then came a flurry of footsteps as the castle guards rushed over and cordoned off the area.

"quick!"

"Check this side again."

Renis, who had just fallen asleep not long ago, arrived at the scene surrounded by soldiers.

This is the room where the three baby dragons live.

Because they were so noisy, it was impossible to sleep well at night with them, so Renis found a new room for the three baby dragons to live in.

However, an unexpected event occurred that night.

When the patrolling guards reached the outside of the room, they found a charred corpse lying there, still emitting black smoke, its body charred and somewhat brittle.

After examination, the body was finally identified as Miri Maz Thur, the castle's magic advisor.

She was apparently burned to death by a single burst of dragonfire from the black dragon Bellerion.

However, this is just speculation, since Bellerion can't speak and therefore can't defend himself.

Even if it was just speculation, the guards inside the castle looked at the black dragon, which had grown even larger, with wariness and fear in their eyes.

They feared that this creature might suddenly erupt again and harm those around it. Although it was a dragon, it was not human and its thoughts could not be measured by human reasoning.

"Belle Rien burned Miri?"

Renis arrived at the scene surrounded by soldiers. After learning what had happened, she looked at Bellerion, who was surrounded by soldiers, with disbelief.

"this..."

The girl was wearing a velvet cloak and rushed over without even having time to comb her hair.

"This... can't be right."

Then he whispered, somewhat incredulously.

"Nothing is impossible in this world, Your Highness."

Maester Gunther also rushed over from the Maester's Tower, having heard the news as well.

The young dragon actually burned a person to death, which the scholar didn't believe at first.

How could such a small dragon, which can't even fly properly, have mastered the art of breathing dragonfire?

However, when he rushed over, he discovered that it was all true, and the person who had been burned to death was an old acquaintance of his.

Miri has been a magic advisor in Andalus for five or six years. Like the maester, she is a veteran of Andalus, so the two of them naturally see each other all the time.

"Dragons are not human after all."

"It may have just seen Miri as a piece of food."

Maester Gunther arrived at the scene and looked at Millie's charred body, his voice tinged with sorrow.

The sound of children crying could be heard around him. Mili's son also came to the scene and burst into tears when he saw his mother's charred body.

The scene immediately descended into chaos and noise.

"How could this be?"

Renis also felt a bit of a headache and didn't know what to do.

She refused to believe that it was Bellerion who had burned Millie, because she had watched them hatch; they were like three innocent children, and there was plenty of food.

Why would they burn Mili to death for no reason?

However, whether she wanted to believe it or not, the facts were right in front of her: Bellerion might really have burned the other person to death.

"but..."

And at this time.

The scholar standing to the side suddenly spoke up.

"Your Highness, where has the red-robed witch who came to the castle during the day gone?"

"Ok?"

Renis, who was feeling confused and unsure of what to do, was slightly taken aback when she heard her teacher's words.

"Master Gunther, what do you want with her?"

In Renis's view, these were two completely unrelated things.

However, the scholar shook his head upon hearing Renis's words and offered a reminder.

"Does Your Highness remember what Miri said this morning? The followers of the King of Light are proficient in fire magic."

"And that...Ms. Melisandre, her witchcraft is even greater than Miri's."

"She just moved into the castle today, and then Miri was burned to death. As a witch, who could easily burn Miri to death?"

As soon as Maester Gunther, dressed in a grey robe, finished speaking, Renis's eyes widened slightly.

"what?"

"Do you mean...?"

The girl seemed to suspect the Red God's messenger, who had just arrived at the castle that day, of murdering the castle's magic advisor, Lady Millie, with fire magic.

However, the scholar shook his head slightly and spoke calmly.

"This is only a reasonable suspicion, Your Highness."
