Count Adrian said, "Mia, please go out first! I have something to ask Garlon in person."

The Countess nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go see the children. Little Garlon, you should stay closer to Becot in the future." She smiled kindly at Liu Yuan, and patted the back of the Count's hand before leaving.

Mrs. Mia left the room, and the room fell silent again, leaving only the two of them staring at each other. Liu Yuan stared at Adrian innocently, his big eyes blinking. Who can't pretend to be young?

"Ahem..." Adrian finally couldn't hold it anymore and took the initiative to speak: "You should know your identity, right?"

Liu Yuan nodded: "There have been some speculations, and the servants in the castle have discussed it."

Adrian said: "The rumors are true, I am your father. In fact, I have been paying attention to you all these years, but because of your identity, I can't show you too close."

Liu Yuan: "I can understand. I am just an ordinary 'Wei Shui'. If I anger the grandmother, I will probably never grow up."

Adrian was a little surprised by Liu Yuan's precocity: "In the beginning, you had very obvious 'dragon seed' characteristics, and I planned to let you return to the family as a side branch. Unexpectedly, the older you got, the more these characteristics gradually disappeared. So it's not easy to arrange, so I had to let you be a blacksmith's apprentice first. Parker and Bandier both said that you are very smart, but your growth is really beyond my expectations..." As he said that, he looked Liu Yuan up and down. He could not imagine how such a weak body could accomplish such a feat?

Liu Yuan said, "You should know that I have always eaten more than others and am stronger than many young people. During this time in Harrenhal, I have been asking the soldiers for advice and practicing fighting skills in the Flowstone Courtyard every day. Those bandits didn't take me seriously at first, and many of them were shot to death by my crossbow."

Adrian said approvingly, "I heard from Mia that when the gangsters swung a knife at Beckett, it was you who stepped forward and saved him."

Liu Yuan: "Master Becot is a very kind person, and many people in the castle like him. And behind him is Miss Lyanna, who is less than three years old."

Adrian: "The Countess has agreed to accept you. You will return to the family as an adopted son and inherit the name of the Setiga family openly. In addition, in view of your contributions, you have the right to choose your own future path. Do you want to stay in the family to learn how to manage the industry, or go out for experience? I can find an excellent knight mentor for you." The Earl was very satisfied with Liu Yuan's attitude towards his half-brother and sister, and at the same time he wanted to find a better way out for him.

Liu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you, Countess. If possible, I would like to go to the Citadel. I have longed for the outside world since I was a child. I heard that there is a wealth of knowledge there, such as Westeros. If I can return after completing my studies, I will definitely be able to make more contributions to the family, and perhaps I will be able to help Master Becot in the future."

Hearing Liu Yuan's choice, Adrian was a little surprised: "You want to be a bachelor? Well, I will consider your request." In Westeros, the status of bachelors is also very high. They are indispensable assistants and think tanks for the lords. Although the dispatch of bachelors is determined by the completion of their studies. Usually they serve other families, but it is also possible.

Liu Yuan bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Lord Earl."

Lord Adrian: "In fact, you can call me father. From now on, Beckett and Lyanna are your brother and sister. As for the ceremony of your return to the family, it will be held after you return to Xie Dao. As for your study in the Citadel, I will apply for it with graffiti. Go back and have a good rest tomorrow. The family fleet will arrive."

................................................

After coming out of the room, Liu Yuan's identity changed. He was no longer a blacksmith apprentice, but the young master of the Earl's family, and even his room was arranged on the third floor. Since the Earl had agreed to let him study in the Citadel, there would be no other changes, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

The Citadel of Oldtown can be said to be an absolutely neutral place in Westeros. For thousands of years, whether it was the war between the seven kingdoms or the conquest war of the Targaryen family, the flames of war had never spread there. As long as he stayed there, Liu Yuan believed that with his learning ability, he would be able to do well. What he needed most now was time to grow, and there was no place more suitable than there.

The next morning, the team of the Setiga family set out, heading for the port outside the Linhe Gate in the south.

The Riverside Gate is one of the seven gates of King's Landing, but the common people prefer to call it the Mud Gate. The gate is located in the middle of the southeast wall of King's Landing, connecting the Fishermen's Square and the docks of the port. Between the buildings are wide roads, streets, and segmented alleys with trees on both sides.

The city gate faces the Blackwater River, and on the other side of the river is the King's Road leading to Storm's End. There is a reinforced gate next to the city gate, which not only protects it from foreign enemies, but also prevents riots in the city. Not far from the city is the Blackwater Port. There are hundreds of docks in the port, and at this time, densely packed ships are docked here. There are countless workers carrying goods, and you can see merchants from all over the world dressed in different clothes.

They arrived at the northeastern dock, where five large three-masted ships were moored. Above the ships were hung the white flag of the Celtigar family with red crabs on it. Several fleet managers were at the dock, respectfully welcoming the earl.

The Earl and his family had come to the front of the ship, and Liu Yuan was among them. His clothes were completely different from before, and they were made of a velvet-like fabric. At this time, he was standing next to Beckett, carrying his weapon box on his back. Each of them held one of Lyanna's hands. It only took him one night to integrate into this family. In fact, the Countess was a very easy-going person. When she learned that Liu Yuan was going to study at the academy, it was obvious that he had given up his family's inheritance rights. He was even more relieved that there was no threat to Beckett. The clothes on Liu Yuan were selected by himself. Beckett also hoped to have a younger brother, and Lyanna also wanted such a little brother.

The fleet of the Celtigar family sailed away from King's Landing. Standing on the deck, you can see the magnificent castle complex. The crimson roof proves that this is the Red Keep, the ruling center of the Seven Kingdoms, and also the residence of the king. The whole is built of light red stone, with seven huge iron-roofed drum towers and thick walls surrounding the castle. It is located on the highest hill in King's Landing, and there is a towering cliff on the side facing the sea. From a distance, you can see garden-style platforms, cleverly embedded on the cliff.
