No matter how good "Dali" is, you can't eat more! With Witte's body as strong as an ox, his legs will be weak the next day after drinking two bottles, let alone a person in his seventies.
However, judging from Lynn Corbray's tone, everyone was very sure of the effect of "Dali". They all knew that taking too much was not enough and did not treat it as poison.
Witte smiled unnaturally, "So that's it. No wonder it's kept secret. Did Lysa Tully, the Prime Minister's wife, say when the funeral will be held?"
Lynn Corbray "Yesterday was Lord Renly's wedding. Today was originally the opening day of the Tourney. Now that the Prime Minister has passed away, everyone is speculating that the Tourney will be postponed. Now they are all waiting for His Majesty the King to wake up.
Decision."
Werther removed the mute magic and walked out of the corridor with Lynn Corbray.
"The Prime Minister has worked hard for more than ten years. Now he has died for the country. He should enjoy the honor he deserves after his death. I will go back and change my clothes first. When the king wakes up, he will definitely hold a royal meeting. I am missing one shoe.
It’s so rude.”
Lynn Corbray looked down and saw that the sole of one of Werther's feet was already dark and covered in mud. "My best regards, Lord Werther."
Werther and Lynn Corbray separated, and slipped into the secret passage again without anyone noticing. He lost a shoe, and Werther didn't like wearing other people's shoes, so he planned to go back to the magic school through the secret passage in the Red Castle.
The secret passage is very dark and narrow, with stairs leading to corners, corners leading to steps, going up and down, passing between the walls and floors of the Red Fort.
Suddenly, I found the light of a candle coming from a stairway, and someone entered the secret passage. The direction they were heading towards was Maegor's Tower, which was the king's palace. A little red magic light lit up, and there was life detection magic. There was only one person on the other side.
He runs pretty fast, so he should be very familiar with secret passages.
Werther stopped and stood there waiting, wanting to see who was coming. He was not afraid of any resistance from the other party. Even if he had his hands and feet, Werther could easily kill him.
The footsteps were approaching, and each step was heavy and heavy. The man turned a corner, and the two finally faced each other.
"Robert!" Robert, dressed in black and holding a candle, didn't notice Werther and was startled by the voice.
Werther released magic light to illuminate the passage, and Robert could see the person in front of him clearly.
"Witt? Damn it, you scared me to death. Why did you go into the secret passage?"
Werther raised his feet, "I was drunk yesterday and my shoes were missing when I woke up. Why don't we take the secret passage out of the Red Castle and go directly to the Blackwater River so we can go back to the magic school?"
Robert saw Werther's feet and said sternly, "You are now a Duke, you should really pay attention to your image."
"Robert, why did you come in from outside the Red Keep?"
Robert opened his mouth to laugh, but found that he had suppressed his laughter in the secret passage. "Ha~uh, I'm going out to do something."
Werther saw the red lip marks on Robert's face that had not been wiped clean, and Werther understood what he was going out for.
Queen Doris Rowan had just given birth to a daughter and was now inconvenient, so Robert returned to his old profession.
Werther: "Oh, I'll go back first, and you should hurry up."
After the two people passed each other, Werther turned around and said, "I almost forgot that Prime Minister Jon Arryn died last night."
"What!"
Robert yelled loudly. His adoptive father was fine when he was drinking yesterday, but he calmed down immediately
"Ed Stark and I talked about how my adoptive father was extremely thin during this period. We all thought that he might die soon, but we didn't expect it to be so soon. Alas!"
It seems that everyone is mentally prepared in advance, and Werther also plans to comfort Robert, "You should also take care of your health."
"Thank you, brother! But did Jon Arryn die of illness?" Robert was very pleased.
Werther "didn't die of illness. He drank three bottles of Dali in a row and immediately became sick. He died of joy."
"What!"
Robert's crotch tightened. How many bottles did he drink yesterday?
~~~
After Werther changed his clothes and returned to the Red Castle, the imperial meeting was officially held.
Everyone knows the news. Jon Arryn died last night, but some people know the specific cause of death, and some people don't.
After discussion, everyone decided to hold a funeral in the Great Sept of Baelor in King's Landing in accordance with the status of Hand of the King and Duke. After the funeral ceremony, the body was transported back to the Eyrie City family cemetery for burial by the Arryn family.
The arrangements for the funeral were soon over, and the intelligence chief, the Eight-clawed Spider Varys, spoke
"The King's Hand has passed away, and a person of outstanding ability must take over."
After Robert heard this, he immediately thought of Ed Stark, who is now in King's Landing.
Wallis' bald head shined as he spoke, but he hadn't finished speaking yet.
"I recommend Vit Baratheon to be Hand of the King!"
There was a large rectangular conference table, with the king's seat at the head and four people on each side. Werther was in the second seat on Robert's right. At this time, everyone looked at Werther.
"Agree! In terms of ability, the Seven Kingdoms cannot find another suitable candidate." Minister of Justice Renly was the first to speak.
"Agree!" Finance Minister Mace Tyrell said immediately. Veidt is only 6 years old now. If he becomes the Hand of the King, he can work for at least several decades. Highgarden has been doing business with Storm's End, and his wealth is not that big.
Do it dozens of times more?
"Agree!" Sea Lord Stannis. Because of Werther, he became a "Gambling King" that even the dragon recognized as his title!
"Agree!" Archmaester Pycelle Witte has a very good relationship with the city. After being awarded the honorary bachelor's degree, he and the city have been mutually beneficial. The city has also ushered in great development. Recently, Witte has sent a large number of dignitaries to the city.
, stationed at the Stone Steps Islands.
"Agree!" Barristan Witte, captain of the Kingsguard, has extraordinary martial arts skills, is a magician, and has a dragon. He can rest assured about the safety of the king and King's Landing. In terms of character, he is notorious in Essos.
But this is Westeros! Werther is the Dragon Knight! A great hero!
The Royal Council has eight ministers and a king, with nine votes. The current prime minister is vacant, with a total of eight votes.
The head of intelligence, the Eight-clawed Spider Wallis, proposed Werther, and one vote had already been counted. Then five ministers spoke one after another, and six of the eight votes agreed. The king's hand was finalized. The king was the final one to make the final decision, and now only the remaining
Leave it to Werther himself.
After Robert heard everyone's opinions, he also found that the most suitable candidate was Werther. Now everyone looked at Werther with a smile, waiting for him to say a few humble words and then wear the badge of the Hand of the King.<
/p>
Werther "How can I have time to be the Hand of the King?"
Everyone was stunned.
Witte slowly explained to everyone, "The city of Tyroshi is now in ruins, and the islands of the Stepstone Islands are basically wasteland. I don't have time to build a territory, so how can I be the prime minister? Do you know what the other nobles call me?"
Call me Duke of Ruin!"
"Hehehe."
"Hahaha."
With the victory of the war, the nobles of the Westeros continent gathered in King's Landing. The names of the Duke of Ruin and the Second Son Islands have been spread. The name of the Second Son Islands is not very good, but the name of the Duke of Ruin is actually recognized by Veidt.
.
Robert played with the emblem of the Hand of the King and said to Werther, "What about when you finish your work?"
