Chapter 30 A Date with Helena
Chapter 30 A Date with Helena
Garen stayed at the Baratheon family camp for half a day.
He originally wanted to chat with Robert and compete with him, but there were too many nobles coming to visit, so he and Robert had to chat with many of them.
In the evening, Garlon finally escaped.
He came to the camp of the Hightower family and successfully asked Helena to come out.
When they took Helena away, Ellery and others were laughing and cheering beside them.
"Let's go, Helena."
After leaving the Hightower family camp, Garlon smiled and looked at Helena, whose face was flushed. He then took Helena's fair, delicate hand.
Helena's beautiful eyes widened, and before she could react, she was already being led by Garlon through the path formed by many tents.
From time to time, all kinds of commoners, nobles or servants would see this perfect couple with a hint of surprise and amazement in their eyes.
At first, Helena was too embarrassed to raise her head, her heart pounding, her legs trembling. But she gradually got used to it and let Garen pull her along.
Because there were so many tents and so many people, it was easy to get lost, so it was the best choice for Garlon to hold her hand.
Garlon held Helena's hand in front, and slowly the tent became more spacious. He saw that Helena had adapted, but her earlobes were still a little red. Then he slowed down his pace, slowly holding Helena's hand and walking side by side with her.
Helena was still a little shy and didn't dare to look up and look at Garlon, but her heart was beating rapidly, and she felt an indescribable throbbing and sweetness.
This was her first time being held by a boy's hand, her first time going on a date with Garen, and her first time being in an unfamiliar environment without any family or attendants around her.
Many factors made her feel free as if she had escaped from a birdcage.
Garen didn't say anything, but with a faint smile, he held Helena's hand and walked towards the Tas family's camp.
Helena's hands were slender and soft, and felt wonderful.
From time to time, you can smell Helena's fragrance in the breeze.
After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the Tas family camp on the shore of God's Eye Lake.
Stoin, Barius and others were all shocked when they saw that Garlon actually brought back a beautiful noble lady with a virtuous temperament.
The nobles had very strict family education. How could they allow unmarried men and women to hold hands in public?
But they soon realized that they were worrying too much.
"She is Helena, my fiancée and your mistress from now on."
Garen introduced to the stunned crowd.
Garlon's brief introduction suddenly woke Stoin and others up from their dreams.
“Ah…Oh!”
"Hello, Miss Helena!"
Stoin and the others hurriedly stumbled over and greeted Helena with a strange look on their faces.
They had also heard some news that Master Garlon was engaged to Helena, the eldest daughter of Earl Leighton of the Hightower family.
Helena blushed and felt hot all over because of Garlon's words "mistress". She wanted to pull her hand back from Garlon, but Garlon held it tightly. She tried once but gave up. So she could only suppress her shyness and looked at Stoin and the others with a smile, saying, "Hello."
After saying hello, Garlon smiled, ignored Stoin and the others, and walked straight to the lake with Helena.
There were many black swans swimming by the lake. In addition to the black swans, there was also a small boat.
The boat is not big and not particularly exquisite, but it is clean.
This was something that Garlon specifically asked Piquet to rent from a nearby fisherman, and he also had Piquet clean it.
"Helena, have you ever rowed a boat?"
Garen looked at Helena and said.
"No, but Belle took us on a boat ride."
Helena looked up at Garen.
At this time, the sun was setting by the lake. The lake water was clear and covered with a layer of orange ripples. With the embellishment of several black swans, it looked particularly beautiful. There were not many people around, so her tense body relaxed.
"How about I take you to the center of the lake?"
Garen laughed.
"Okay." Helena nodded.
So Garen stepped onto the boat, took Helena's hand, and took her on board.
After sitting down with Helena, Garlon paddled the boat and it slowly sailed away from the shore.
Garlon deliberately rowed the boat away from the tent camp.
Helena slowly loosened her grip, stretched out her hand, and traced her fingers across the clear surface of the lake.
In this era, the lake water is not polluted at all, and there is no garbage to be seen. Only a few green leaves float by occasionally. The clear lake water makes people feel happy.
Garlon did not row towards the Thousand Faces Island. As the sky grew darker, the lake was pitch black, and it would be scary to go back, so he just took Helena to experience rowing today.
Stopping on the lake, Garlon put down the paddle board. Two black swans, not afraid of people, swam over slowly.
Garlon then took out the dried fish he had prepared and fed them to the two black swans.
After these days of feeding, the black swans on Shenyan Lake have become bolder. They even swim right next to the boat and boldly eat the dried fish thrown by Garlon.
Helena's eyes sparkled with curiosity.
The Hightower family's camp wasn't near the lake, so she hadn't yet been there to feed the black swans.
Although there were swans in Old Town, they were all white, and she had never seen a black swan.
Garlon then smiled and handed Helena the dried fish, asking Helena to feed the black swan as well.
"Helena, do you remember the snake-scale flower you told me about in your last letter?"
"The snake-scale flower from the Norvos Hills?" Helena replied while happily throwing dried fish to the black swan.
"Yes." Garen smiled, "I had someone bring some back from Norvos."
"Really?" Helena was a little surprised.
She likes to grow all kinds of plants. She also has a special garden nursery in Old Town. She mentioned to Garlon that she is interested in several plants on the continent of Essos, including snake scale flower. Unexpectedly, Garlon took it to heart and specially found one for her.
"Of course, look." Garlon brought out a pot of snake scale flowers from under the deck of the small boat.
It was the potted snake scale flower that the captain had helped him transplant from Norvos.
Garlon originally only wanted to bring some dried snake-scale flower specimens to Helena, but unexpectedly the captain transplanted a pot of snake-scale flowers for him, so he brought the pot of snake-scale flowers to Harrenhal.
After his maintenance over the past few days, the snake scale flower has regained its vitality and no longer looks wilted.
"How magical, it really is a snake scale flower."
Helena held the pot of snake scale flowers in surprise and felt very happy.
She looked at the vines and leaves of the snake scale flower and smelled its fragrance. She was happier than feeding the black swan.
Garen smiled.
Helena's interests are plants and books. She likes to study and grow all kinds of beautiful plants and flowers.
Garlon thinks this interest is very good, and he also likes to watch plants sprout and grow.
However, he prefers to appreciate and does not have the energy to plant and cultivate.
"Garlon, thank you!"
Helena studied the snake scale flower for a while, then smiled with her beautiful eyes and spoke to Garlon in a gentle voice.
She held the potted snake scale flower in her hands, and the soft light in her eyes was even more real than when she received the sapphire necklace in the morning.
The sapphire necklace represents Garlon's respect and love for her.
But this pot of snake scale flowers truly reflects Garlon's respect for her.
This touched her deeply.
"Don't need to thank me anymore."
Garen smiled slightly and said seriously.
Helena suddenly blushed, her face showing shyness, and she smiled with her lips pursed.
She nodded slightly, understanding what Garlon meant.
Sometimes saying thank you can seem awkward.
A sweet feeling filled Helena's heart.
"Helena, this snake scale flower actually has a special effect."
Seeing that Helena was a little shy, Garen changed the subject.
"Special effects?"
Helena looked at Garen in confusion.
“Yes, it can be used to make wine.”
Garen smiled and said.
He guessed that at this moment in Duskling Hall Castle, Earl Selwyn must be studying the brewing of beer.
"Wine wine?"
Helena's face showed a strange expression, somewhat unable to believe it. She had never seen such a record in her family's collection of books.
"I've experimented with it and brewed a new kind of ale, which I named beer. This snake scale flower may be more commonly referred to as hops in the future."
Garen shrugged lightly.
"Hops?"
Helena curiously moved the snake scale flowers with her hands, still very curious.
"It's a pity that I left in such a hurry this time, otherwise I would have brought it to you to try."
Garen smiled faintly.
In fact, this Harrenhal Tournament is the best opportunity for beer to appear.
However, he was a little late in inventing it, and he forgot to bring the sample with him when he came.
Otherwise, you can bring it to the Hightower family to try, and discuss the sale of beer with Earl Leighton in advance.
Garlon introduced to Helena the process of his invention of beer.
Helena was amazed. She had never expected that the tiny snake scale flower could have such a magical effect with beer.
Garen then talked to Helena about some magical plants on the continent of Essos.
For example, there's the ghost grass that carries the scent of death, is as pale as milk glass, and glows at night; there's the black-bark tree that has a blue liquid squeezed out of its leaves, giving your lips a strange color, and so on.
Helena listened with fascination.
These magical plants were something she could hardly see in Old Town.
Even many plants in Westeros could only be seen in books, because the climate in Oldtown was not suitable for all plants to grow.
"It would be nice if we could visit the continent of Essos."
Helena couldn't help but say.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she immediately shut her mouth and looked at Garlon cautiously, fearing that Garlon would be unhappy.
Because nobles generally don't like their wives to run around. Their duties are to take care of their husbands and children and to maintain relationships with other noble ladies.
"If you want, I'll take you there later."
Garen smiled and looked at Helena.
He has been learning Valyrian with Maester Amor over the years, firstly to prepare for riding a dragon, and secondly to prepare for his future trip to Essos.
After he and Helena get married, he can take Helena with him to travel to the continent of Essos.
Of course, there is a more convenient and quick way - riding a dragon and taking Helena traveling everywhere.
If there were a dragon, he could go wherever he wanted.
