In the past few days, after Robert changed his clothes, he would stay in the Prime Minister's Office to drink some water to sober up before returning to the palace. At this time, the two of them would chat all over the world.
Witte "I saw the files locked in the office of former Prime Minister Jon Arryn these days. There is something in it. I went to check it today."
Robert was taking a gulp of water. "What's the matter?"
Werther stretched out two fingers in front of his eyes, blocking his sight, and exposed Robert's head between the two fingers.
Robert "What magic are you doing again?"
Werther smiled and said, "Like! If you shave your beard, you'll look more like you when you are a few years younger!"
Robert was stunned, "Who does he look like?"
Witte: "The old Prime Minister is really hard. Not only does he help you manage the country, but he also helps you raise so many illegitimate children. Today I went to the blacksmith shop of Tob Mott, the master of weapons forging in King's Landing. He has a blacksmith apprentice named Gendry.
, your illegitimate son!"
"Is it really so similar? Hahaha." Robert really couldn't remember this illegitimate child.
Witte continued, "He is strong and tall, with thick black hair and blue eyes of the Baratheon family. He made a bull-headed helmet by himself, and he is also good at using a war hammer."
Robert smiled happily, "Hahaha, bring him to see me someday! Renly helped me raise a son, Werther, you have to help me raise one too."
"Okay, no problem, I happen to be short of people there." Werther wanted to help Robert eliminate this hidden danger.
Robert is the king now and is in the limelight, but he can't help but grow old in the future. Gendry looks so much like him that anyone who is familiar with Robert can recognize him at a glance! He will inevitably be taken advantage of in the future, so it's better to do it sooner.

The two talked about illegitimate children, and Werther thought about the heir to the Vale. He told Robert a few days ago, and he agreed. Robert was drunk every time these days, and Werther never noticed what he had.
Action.
Werther had to remind him again, "Robert, has Jon Arryn always had gray hair?"
Robert thought for a while and leaned his head back on the sofa. "When I met him as a teenager, he had white hair."
Werther "If you are born with white hair, you are sick. Even the Targaryens have silver-gold or platinum hair."
Robert was closing his eyes and concentrating, "Why do you ask about his hair?"
Witte stood up and sat down on the sofa opposite Robert, "The Arryn family are all blond, Lysa Tully has red hair, but your adoptive father Jon Arryn's son has brown hair."
As soon as Robert opened his eyes and sat up, he was sober from the wine.
"T is an illegitimate child again?"
Werther stared at him. It seemed that Robert had really forgotten. He still had the nerve to ask now? "I'm not sure. You have to go find some older nobles and ask what Jon Arryn's hair was like when he was young.
Color."
Robert thought about his own affairs back then, and now he was concerned about the Vale. He was very puzzled, "Witt, why do you always care about other people's children?"
Witte: "This matter is not that simple. I was arresting people in the city with the Golden Robes a few days ago. I met Dennis Arryn and several people were fleeing King's Landing. He told me, and then I sent Ashara.
Escort them back to the Eyrie."
Robert stood up and paced back and forth, thinking carefully about the details of the matter. After a while, he shouted angrily, "I will kill Lysa Tully and his bastards!"
"Robert, calm down. You have to handle this matter well. Don't kill anyone without evidence!"
Werther also stood up and slowly explained to him
"Lysa Tully is now the mother of the Duke of the Vale whom you acknowledge. Her father is the Duke of the Riverlands, and his brother Edmure Tully is also in King's Landing. Her sister is Eddard Starr of the North.
The wife of Duke Ke! She alone is related to three northern territories. Do you want what happened with the Mad King to happen again?"
Robert was now almost forty years old and was not as impulsive as he was when he was young. He quickly calmed down and said, "You bitch, what man wants to get involved in my adoptive father's territory?"
Witte shook his head. "Dennis Arryn has been investigating for a long time without any results. However, I asked Varys, the intelligence chief, Petyr Baelish, a minor nobleman from the Five Finger Peninsula of the Vale. He was pregnant by Lysa Tully when he was young.
Once, please ask Wallis to confirm the specific situation."
Robert was angry: "Witt! Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier?"
Werther became even more angry, "I told you a few days ago. Think carefully, did you promise well at that time? As a result, you drank every day and forgot all about it!"
Robert recalled carefully, he was sweating all over, it was true, he patted Werther on the shoulder, "Hey, drinking makes things worse!"
Turn to the door and shout "Kingsguard!"
Lord Barristan, captain of the Kingsguard, opened the door and hurried in. They were very reassured about the safety of the king and Werther, and Robert's loud and angry voice failed to alarm them.
Robert "informed all the nobles of the valley, as well as the Lord Chancellor, to hold a meeting at the Hand's Tower tomorrow morning!"
This matter still had to be handled by King Robert himself, with Werther assisting as the acting King's Hand.
~~~
But the next day's meeting in the valley was not as Robert expected.
Most families in the Vale support Lysa Tully and her son, but only a few families say that the issue of the Duke's heir needs to be treated with caution and more clear evidence is needed.
Especially when it came to the issue of hair color, all the old nobles present were vague. They either said they had white hair or they were too old to remember.
Lysa Tully wants to find a husband. If he can be the stepfather of the future Duke, they know very well how much benefit it can bring to the family.
Moreover, she is only 2 years old and can still give birth now. If the young Duke is frail and sick, then his descendants will also have the opportunity to inherit the position of Duke!
Some people even think that if Lysa Tully and the young Duke die unexpectedly, then they will be the Duke of the Vale!
Most nobles feel that their families have a chance! Littlefinger really sold Lysa Tully for a good price. Only a few truly loyal nobles are waiting for evidence.

After the meeting, Robert was also confused. At Werther's suggestion, he called Ed Stark, Edmure Tully and Catelyn Tully for a private meeting in the afternoon.
Catelyn Tully took out the letter from her sister, "I believe what my sister said. Denys Arryn is indeed very popular among the nobles of the valley, but he cannot usurp the position of heir just because my sister's son is weak and sick!" Edmure Tully "I also believe what my sister says."
Ed didn't speak.
Witte "Then the king summoned Petyr Baelish, why did he return to the Five Fingers Peninsula at this time?"
Catelyn Tully "Now the matter has spread among the higher-ups. Petyr Baelish had already taken leave of absence and left King's Landing before the king issued the decree. His taking leave was not resignation, it was just a coincidence."
Robert was furious, "What about Lysa Tully? She ran away while the body of my adoptive father, Jon Arryn, was still in King's Landing!"
Caitlin Tully also took the initiative to protect her sister. "Her letter made it very clear that she must take her son back to the Eyrie to inherit the title. The nobles are in King's Landing, but the soldiers are all in the valley!"
She turned to Werther and said, "If you hadn't let Dennis Allin go, things wouldn't be what they are now!"
Are you being unreasonable for the sake of your sister? Veins have popped out on Werther's head. If he hadn't thought that she was Robb's mother and a woman, he would have sprayed her with a dragon's roar.
"Everyone, calm down!" Ed finally spoke.
Seeing that his sister was so strong and dared to talk back to the King and Werther, Edmure Tully quickly grabbed Caitlin and said, "Calm down, let's analyze it."
Werther also calmed down
"Well, let me analyze it for you. No matter whether the old Duke of the Valley has white hair or blond hair, but your Tully family has red hair, you can teach me how to! give birth to! Brown hair! Son!"
After a while, Werther's fingers banged on the table.
Catelyn Tully asked Werther, "Then how can you confirm that Lord Jon did not have brown hair when he was young? Do you know who his mother is?"
Everyone was stunned.
This question really stumped everyone. Most history books record wars. Books like this about family members are usually written by each family themselves and stored in their own castles.
Robert looked at Eddard Stark, "I only know that my adoptive father's father was named Jasper Arryn, Ned? Do you have any memory of your adoptive father's mother?"
Ed Stark also looked embarrassed, "I'm not sure, but when we went to the Eagle's Nest, my adoptive father was already in his fifties."
Robert "Genealogy! It seems that the genealogy of the Arryn family is the key evidence!"
Witte turned to Robert, "My term as Prime Minister is only a few days away. I hope to resolve this matter during my term. Your Majesty, please give the order. I will go to the Eagle's Nest to pick up the book myself!"
