Robert was upset by the disease, and the letter from Werther was also bad news. Robert waved the maester and the magician to leave, leaving only Andrew and Varys in the bedroom.
Andrew finally got Robert to relent, and he took the initiative to explain to the two what happened. Robert had been having a hard time keeping this secret in his heart for so many years, but now he felt a lot more relaxed after telling it.<
/p>
"The rumors back then turned out to be true!" Andrew recalled that when Cersei was still the queen, there were rumors about her romantic affair in King's Landing.
Varys: "There are always some similarities between rumors and facts! The mystery of the disappearance of several Kingsguards that year has finally been solved."
After getting dressed, Robert threw the letter to Varys and said in a stiff tone: "My Lord Intelligence Officer, don't tell me that you don't know these things!"
Varys was a little frightened. Robert must not mess with him at this time. He carefully unfolded the letter and looked at Andrew after reading it: "Duke Werther has personally met Saran Farman, also known as Myrcella.
?"
"Salan Farman is already the legal wife of Robb Stark in the North, and they arrived in Tyrosh together. I have also seen Myrcella when she was a child. If she is herself, she has changed a lot now that she has grown up, but
I can still see the similarities between her and Cersei." Andrew himself can be considered a witness.
Robert, who was thinking about it, became angrier: "I can't see the three children born from close relatives, but what makes me most angry is that Tywin deceived me! He hired four substitutes to kill us brothers.
Fooled! I'm going to kill Tywin!"
"This is not good! Unless the king wants to expose this matter, there is no reason to trouble Tywin!" Varys gave advice sincerely.
Robert was not led astray this time and continued to ask: "You haven't answered my question yet, Varys! Do you know these people are alive?"
Varys looked aggrieved: "Your Majesty the King, my intelligence network only has a few informants in the Western Territory. Duke Tywin has arranged such secretive things very closely. My informants cannot know about it, and I have not confiscated it."
I have received news. But yesterday I got news that Cersei and Joffrey appeared at the Lannister mansion in King's Landing!"
"Really? These two people are so brave, they dare to return to King's Landing!" Andrew sighed that the two people were really fearless.
"I'm going to hang that slut!" Robert roared loudly, thinking that Cersei was losing her temper again.
When it comes to big things, Andrew doesn't think too far ahead, but he is very good at making bad ideas. An idea came to his mind, and he stretched out his hand and pulled Robert's sleeve: "Cousin! I have a good idea on how to deal with Cersei!"<
/p>
Robert: "Oh? You have a way to kill that slut without revealing what happened?"
Andrew smiled: "Hey! If you can't expose the king's scandal, then don't mention it. Didn't Duke Tywin say that Queen Cersei and her three children were dead? Not only the king, but all the nobles in the country knew about this.
They are all buried in the family cemetery, so we can just follow Tywin’s arrangement.”
Robert: "Follow Tywin's arrangements?"
Andrew: "It has been almost eight years since Cersei and Joffrey died. The two people who appeared in King's Landing are liars! They took advantage of the fact that the king and officials were not in King's Landing and lied about being the late queen and prince to defraud.
Cousin, you can just ask the golden robe to arrest people and kill these two liars. I want to see what excuse Tywin can use to save these two liars."
"Is that possible?" Robert turned around and asked Varys. Varys was more reliable in matters in the palace.
Varys thought for a while: "The whole country knows that Duke Tywin personally led people to salvage the bodies of Cersei and her three children, then placed the bodies in Lannister Port, cremated them under the witness of many nobles, and buried the ashes.
Entering the family cemetery. It has been confirmed that the dead will not be resurrected, and even powerful magicians can only control corpses. How can he, Lord Tywin, say that people are alive if they are alive? Therefore, the identities of the two people in King's Landing can only be
It’s a liar! His Majesty the King, it’s best to find a few more victims who were defrauded of their money as witnesses.”
"I know a few nobles who were defrauded of a large amount of money. I can help contact them!"
What Andrew meant was that I could arrange a few fake people, but Robert didn't understand what he meant at all: "There is no need to find witnesses at all! If you dare to pretend to be the late queen and prince to cheat in King's Landing, I will kill her seven times in a row
God will give me praise!”
After Robert finished speaking, he asked Varys to write the royal decree, and he went aside to look for the king's seal.
Andrew thought of Werther's plea for Saran in the letter: "Cousin, Saran and Eugene didn't show up in King's Landing. It's hard for them to deal with it!"
Robert has always been soft-hearted towards children. When the accident happened, the two children were still young and he didn't have much hatred for them. It would be best if they could die together, but if he couldn't do it, he would give up: "The two of them are now the children of the Farman family in Fairy Island.
, as long as they don’t appear in front of me, I’ll pretend I didn’t see them, Varys, you only write about Cersei and Joffrey!”
"As commanded."
A royal order signed by the king was carried by the raven from Highgarden to King's Landing. The officials did not hide it. The matter soon spread in Highgarden, and a liar appeared. King Robert was very angry and vowed to hang the two men.
Demonstrated at the gate of the Red Fort.
The nobles were also filled with indignation. These two people were pretending to be the late queen and prince. The higher their status, the more money they cheated. They really thought that the king would not care about anything after he left King's Landing. Many nobles also came to Robert's side.
To comfort him, Robert himself couldn't figure out whether to cry or laugh.
Andrew no longer cared about the two crooks. He had been moving around the High Court these days, secretly investigating the cause of Robert's illness. He didn't know medical skills, but he knew from the red spots and sores all over Robert's body that this was not a minor illness. After several days of investigation, there was no result at all. The few servants who tested Robert's food were alive and well. They were just like normal people, with no scars on their skin. Then there was really a problem with the source of the disease. There might be a person behind it who was trying to murder the king.
conspiracy.
Robert was both the king and Andrew's cousin. He was determined to find out something, and one afternoon he took Varys with him to the residence of Archmaester Pycelle.
The door to the bachelor's room was not locked, so Andrew knocked on the door twice and then opened the door and walked in.
"Grand Maester Pycelle, are you dispensing medicine again? You, a bachelor and a physician, are quite busy!"
"Earl Andrew, Lord Wallis, are you looking for me?"
Wallis still had the same smile on his face: "We came here specifically to see you. His Majesty the King's illness is very unusual. We need to know what illness the King has."
"This." Pycelle hesitated as he spoke.
Andrew looked at the various bottles and jars on the table and took one at random: "Does the great bachelor who assists the king even conceal his illness?"
Pycelle was afraid that Andrew would spill the potion, so he quickly held his hand: "His Majesty the King's illness is really difficult to talk about."
Andrew put down the potion bottle, put his hands into his pockets, and stared into Pycelle's eyes while shaking his legs: "I have already written to Tyrosh. Duke Werther and Duke Renly are expected to arrive at Highgarden on dragons tomorrow.
!If you don’t tell me today, tell the two Dukes tomorrow.”
"It's almost dinner time. I know the food in a restaurant in Highgarden is delicious. Andrew, you are a guest. I'll treat you today." Varys finished speaking and was about to leave.
Pycelle is also struggling in his heart. The four brothers of the Baratheon family are all violent, stupid, resigned, and desperate!
Needless to say, Robert and Stannis, Renly is usually very reasonable, but once he decides on something, no one can persuade him. And Werther is a murderous demon who dares to go against him. Werther can do it alone.
Go to the front door and slaughter everyone clean.
If Werther knew what he was thinking, he would definitely be wronged. He was obviously the most reasonable one. He would not take action if he could, and peace was the most important thing in everything. Everyone would make a fortune together. It's just that a lot of people died every time he took action. Things spread.
As time goes by, the flavor changes.
Pycelle thought quickly, not wanting to deal with the Baratheon twins: "Wait, you close the door, I will tell you, but you must not tell others!"
Varys and Andrew nodded in agreement and sat down next to the Grand Bachelor. The two looked at each other. It's strange that they are both engaged in intelligence and can keep secrets. It depends on whether there is a legitimate reason.
"The king has a heart disease!" Pycelle said very quietly.
"What kind of disease is heart disease?" After Andrew asked, he suddenly thought of something. He made a circle with his left index finger, moved his right index finger back and forth in the circle, and looked at the bachelor with doubtful eyes: "This kind of disease?" p>
He specializes in the field of medicine, and Wallis is good at developing informants and intelligence collection and analysis. He is also a eunuch and has little knowledge of this disease. He looks at the college students with the same eyes.
Pycelle nodded: "Robert has been with too many women, it should have been passed on to him by a certain woman."
"Will the king's disease kill people?" Wallis was very concerned about this.
Pycelle opened a small notepad he carried with him, which contained a record of Robert's illness: "The disease that the king suffered from was first discovered in the nine major trading city-states, and they said it came from distant Asshai.
In the records of Westeros, Aegon IV Targaryen and his great-grandson Daeron Targaryen also died of this disease."
Andrew kicked the table leg: "Damn it, it's really going to kill people!"
"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet!" Pycelle was older and kept half of what he said: "According to the records of the Red Keep, they were not the only ones who suffered from this disease, and it was also transmitted to other people through them.
I looked at the records and found that some people died of the disease, and some lived longer than normal. There is currently no cure, only pain relief and skin damage treatment. How long they can live depends on God's will."
Varys: "Does the king know his condition? Or you didn't explain it to him."
"I dare not say, anyway, I am already old, and I can delay it for a day. If the king knows that he has this disease, we will all suffer." After saying this, Pycelle lowered his head, looking like he was repenting.
.
Andrew began to get excited while looking at the bachelor's notebook: "There must be a conspiracy behind this! According to what you wrote, this disease does not cause symptoms immediately after getting it, but it is like a normal person for a period of time! Then Robert will
It’s not the disease I’m contracting now, but in the Stormlands or King’s Landing!”
"That's true." Pycelle just wants to be a bachelor with peace of mind, and won't have to worry about anything when he gets old.
Varys: "This disease is still contagious, so not only Robert, but the queen is also in danger!"
Andrew directly gave the grand maester a kick and kicked him in the chest: "Pycelle! Do you know that you can be beheaded for concealing your illness? I will take off the maester's necklace now and confess my guilt in front of the king! Varys
, we go to the king, and we must get an order to investigate the women around the king."
"I don't want this either! I just don't want the matter to get bigger. Who knew there were so many conspiracies behind it." Pycelle sat on the ground and clutched his chest, wailing.
Seeing that he was still attached to his bachelor's necklace, Andrew walked over, pulled off the necklace, took it in his hand, and walked to the king's room with Varys: "Guards! Take Pycelle with us!" "I hope it's not such a coincidence!" Andrew and Wallis were both thinking about the worst.
Robert was targeted by a certain force and arranged for a sick woman to sleep with Robert, hoping to kill the king and queen in this way. It may be someone from King's Landing, or someone from the Stormlands, or the River Bend.
It's also possible, because they all brought their daughters to Robert as if they knew about Robert's condition.
In Robert's bedroom, Pycelle collapsed on the ground and cried bitterly, begging Robert for forgiveness so that he could take the initiative to return to the city.
"Can this disease be cured if detected in advance?" Robert lowered his head and asked condescendingly to the maester who was holding his thigh.
"There is no cure!" Pycelle shook his head.
Robert then looked at him with a dead look in his eyes and asked: "If we detect the disease in advance, can we avoid infecting other women?"
Pycelle looked up at Robert, his mouth opened and he wanted to speak but couldn't.
"You have worked hard for the two kings before and after you and have made great achievements, but now for the sake of your own status and for the sake of spending your old age in peace, you even hide my illness. The Citadel cannot protect you! Barristan, put him in the dungeon!" Robert was really angry. He had just finished dealing with a bad thing and his mood had improved. Now came the bad news about how long he could live. It depends on God's will. If he didn't have any weapons around him and was too fat, Robert would have wanted to do it on the spot.
Pycelle was beaten to death.
News of the king's illness spread in Highgarden, but no one knew what the disease was. That night, the king arranged for Highgarden's maesters and maids to examine all the women he had slept with, as well as the guards with whom he had skin contact. Robert was often drunk.
Be supported by them.
A drawing room in the High Court was temporarily requisitioned. There were not many people present. Except for the ministers of the Royal Council, there were only Andrew and the Kingsguard. They were waiting for the results here.
The results of the examination were very lucky. A bachelor reported that Queen Doris Rowan had not had sex for a long time due to a dispute with Robert, and she was not sick.
The five girls of the Bracken family were also sick. Based on the red spots on their bodies, the maesters judged that the five sisters should have become sick after Robert, which means that Robert infected them with the disease. p>
The five sisters were very happy to have been cleared of the crime of murdering the king, but they thought about suffering from this disease. They hugged each other and cried sadly. Robert wanted to comfort them but he had no time. Now everyone was looking at the girl in the middle of the living room.
A woman.
"Tear her clothes off!" Regardless of the presence of the Kingsguard, Andrew and others, Robert pointed at the woman in front of him and shouted, directly ordering the maids to take action.
The weather has turned cold, and people in the High Garden have begun to wear long-sleeved clothes. Coupled with the lady's makeup, if it weren't for the inspection by the bachelor and the maids, they would not be able to find anything strange about her.
"They don't need to do it, I'll do it myself!"
Daenerys Targaryen first put her long silver-gold hair on top of her head and fixed it, and then unbuttoned the collar of her gorgeous robe. One by two, the men around her looked at her without the slightest desire, because she had never had any desire.
From her open neckline, one could already see that the skin on her chest was covered with the same red spots as Robert's.
Daenerys seemed to be smiling at the corner of her mouth. She, who was less than Robert's shoulders, seemed to be looking down at Robert, holding her head high and pointing her chin at Robert.
The gorgeous robe was thrown to the ground by Daenerys, and then she took off her pants. After her whole body became naked, she raised her hands and showed every detail of her body to the people present: "Your Majesty, my body is beautiful.
?"
Daenerys's body was covered in red spots, and those present could tell at a glance that her illness was more serious.
"I'll kill you!" This time Robert held the Valyrian steel warhammer "Dissension" in his hand, and was about to blow Daenerys's head off, but was stopped by several Kingsguards.
"Your Majesty the King, it's not too late to ask clearly before killing!" the Duke of Metz also persuaded him.
"I have never felt sorry for you, why are you trying to kill me!" Robert, who was grabbed by the crowd, shouted loudly and wanted to rush over.
Daenerys: "Our Targaryen family is the orthodox one. Why can you be the king? Is it because of your fat body?"
"Don't try to anger the king! You want to die but I won't let you die. I have plenty of ways to torture you!" Barristan saw what she wanted to do and wanted to know the reason. He also wanted to save Daenerys' life: "
Your Majesty, if you kill her now, you won't understand anything."
Daenerys didn't look at him and continued to say to Robert: "Do you really think I went to bed with you because I fell in love with you?"
"I thought you were a good-looking bitch who could do anything but a good job!" Robert said viciously.
Daenerys: "I only said that I have magic power and can resist the fire, but you came to my room regardless of your identity in order to have a child with me. Robert, have you always been so shameless?"
"I have never forced myself on any woman. They all came to me on their own initiative, or I paid for them in the tavern. I, Robert, feel I have a clear conscience!" What Robert said was true, and many people present joined him.
Went out to play.
Daenerys saw that everyone around her didn't believe her words, and then said: "Robert, I can't get this disease alone, there are people to help me."
"Who is it!"
"Hahaha, of course you are the one who will benefit the most if you die!" Daenerys smiled, the foundation on her face getting wet from the sweat, and red spots leaked out on her face.
Daenerys's smile now has completely lost the cuteness and beauty of the past, and she looks very charming. She looked at the people present: "You are all important ministers of the kingdom, can't you figure out who it is?"
"Tywin?" The first thing Duke Mace thought of was him, who was also bald.
"The king's hand? The queen is not sick, but Prime Minister Luo Wan is suspicious!" Andrew analyzed.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm still here!" Matus Rowan looked at Robert with an innocent face.
"A bunch of cowards! You really don't feel sad at all when you die." Daenerys was not wearing any clothes, so she showed off the red spots on her body: "As long as I infect Robert with this disease, he may die, Queen
Or he may die, and Robert will never have any descendants! Then naturally only his younger brother can inherit the throne of king!"
"Stannis? He owns this city?" Andrew has followed Stannis for several years and is very familiar with the second cousin. His lifelong learning of gambling skills has filled his brain. It is really difficult to engage in such conspiracy.
It’s hard for him.
Daenerys walked up to Robert: "It's Wert Baratheon!"
"What!"
"How is that possible?"
"The person I love most in my life is Werther! We fell in love in Meereen City, and I secretly gave birth to a child with him. When I was under you, Robert, I was thinking of Werther!"
Daenerys touched the scar below her belly button and on her lower abdomen. Only then did everyone notice that this scar was the wound that the magician left untreated after a caesarean section when the mother had a difficult delivery.
Daenerys continued: "I have a lover and a child, but Robert, you put me under house arrest in the Red Keep at this time! You don't want to break us up, do you? Werther wants to be the king of the Seven Kingdoms, in order to help him realize his long-cherished wish
, I am willing to sacrifice my life! Anyway, my and Werther's children will become kings in the future! I have no regrets in this life!"
