"My eldest brother went to Archmaester Pycelle and asked for a book called "The Genealogy and History of the Major Nobles of the Seven Kingdoms", which records the appearance and characteristics of all the members of our Baratheon family. The male members of the Baratheon family
The descendants have always had black hair and black eyes, and even many intermarriages with the Targaryens cannot change this appearance."
Upon hearing this, Robert became confused and thought deeply.
"Also, brother, think about your illegitimate children. No matter what the woman looks like, they all have black eyes and black hair. And Joffrey is exactly like the Lannister family."
Robert thought about it for a while and became a little convinced: "I will investigate this matter. How did you know about it? Does anyone else know about it?"
"Smell, first I smelled Cersei's perfume on Jaime. Then thinking about Joffrey's character, we have never had a madman in Baratheon. Then I went to investigate, and it turned out to be true."
Robert finally wanted to struggle: "But these are all your words, and this is related to the inheritance of the kingdom!"
Werther took out a small bottle and a glass candle from his arms. There was very fine powder in the bottle, and he sprinkled a little bit on Robert's hands and clothes, which was invisible to the naked eye.
Use magic to light the candle, and the powder on Robert's hands and clothes suddenly glowed purple.
"Brother, touch me with your hands."
Robert touched Werther's shoulder with his hand that glowed purple. After the powder was stained on Werther's shoulder, it also glowed purple under the light of the glass candle, which was Robert's handprint.
"It's a little thing made by magic. It has no smell and no toxicity. It cannot be washed away. It will fall off after a week. Brother, sprinkle it on your body and sleep with Cersei. In a few days, let Renly light the glass candle and take a look at James.
It can be proven by whether it glows or not."
Robert picked up the vial and asked, "Does anyone else know about this?"
"I investigated it myself, but everyone in the world is paying attention to every move of the Iron Throne. As Joffrey grows up, I am not the only smart person, and there will always be a day when something is revealed." Witte said this.
, cast another calming spell on Robert in advance.
"Princess Myrcella and Prince Tommen are also the children of Jaime and Cersei."
Robert's anger was suppressed by magic, and his sadness took over. With tears in his eyes, he silently hid the vial and glass candle in his arms.
~~~
Within a few days, news came out in the Red Keep that Queen Cersei had a big quarrel with Robert and returned to the West with Prince Joffrey, 4-year-old Princess Myrcella and 3-year-old Prince Tommen.
Jaime of the Kingsguard is responsible for protection.
Werther knew that the matter was done and rushed to the Red Keep. With Robert's temper, he should have directly ordered to kill all the Lannister family. Even launching a war would be reasonable, but Renly used the calming spell to calm him down.
Come down and gather some brothers to discuss countermeasures.
In the king's bedroom.
"That crazy bitch! I scolded her a few times and she actually admitted it in front of me! She also called me a pig! She even dared to run away from the dungeon! Their whole family has committed treason! I want to bloodbath the Western Territory!"<
/p>
Renly came over and whispered in his ear: "After my eldest brother and I discovered Jaime's problem, my eldest brother went to find Cersei. I captured the two of them in the dungeon and left the three children alone for the time being."
"Who let them go back to the Western Region?"
"I don't know. Not long after entering the dungeon, the person disappeared."
[That shouldn’t be Varys. He is not in the Red Keep. He will arrange for people to enter the dungeon after getting the news. It won’t be that fast. It should be someone close to Cersei.] Werther thought.
"The treasury has long been out of money, and it relies on loans to support it! It still owes Tywin 800,000 gold dragons, and it owes Renly and Werther 500,000 gold dragons. To completely wipe out the Western Territory, we must recruit soldiers from at least three dukedoms. There is no money.
What to fight for?" These numbers were mentioned many times in the royal council, and were mentioned again by Stannis.
Werther also looked at Robert and thought. [If Renly, I, and Stannis hadn't changed our fate to help Robert make money, Robert would have owed Tywin 3 million gold dragons in the future!]
"Kill Tywin's family, and the Lannister family's money will be mine!"
Robert said angrily:
"Ask the Minister of Finance to borrow from the Iron Bank!"
Witte continued: "What about the reputation and honor of the king? What about the reputation and honor of the Baratheon family? Throughout the Seven Kingdoms for thousands of years, the Targaryens, including those who married close relatives, were recognized by the bishop. At most, it was an illegitimate war.
But there has never been a country where a prince was the product of incest between the queen and her brother. This is the biggest scandal in thousands of years!"
"Actually, there are some, but they are just rumors and have never been confirmed. If my eldest brother launches a war in this name, he will really be the first person in history." Stannis told the truth.
"Fuck!" Robert kicked the head of the bed to pieces, and Renly quickly used healing spells on Robert's feet.
"Joffrey Waters, Myrcella Waters, and Tommen Waters, none of them are my children!"
[Robert cannot come up with any good ideas in his current state, so he has to come up with it himself.]
Werther poured Robert a glass of wine, and then used a calming spell to calm Robert down.
"I would like to make a suggestion. First, arrange for someone to fulfill the current rumors. The king and the queen are at odds, and the queen is taking the child back to the West.
Second, let Tywin execute them secretly. If he can’t make up his mind, let me do it. Brother Robert will find a new queen.”
No one spoke for a long time, and Robert motioned to continue.
"Third, Tywin Lannister will forgive the debt of 800,000 gold dragons to the treasury and privately compensate Brother Robert for 500,000 gold dragons."
Robert thought for a moment, and for the sake of his own reputation, he could only endure this tone as he would not be the most cuckold in history.
"Compensate me with 1 million! If you don't accept the above three terms, I will borrow money from the Iron Bank and destroy the West without my reputation!" Most of the money was given to Robert personally and not into the treasury. Robert the Lion opened his mouth.
Renly took the words and said: "In the past, we couldn't use the maesters' messenger crows for negotiations. I went to talk to Tywin in person. Witte was in the Red Keep to protect my eldest brother's safety to avoid Tywin's evil hands. Moreover, Witte and I have private messenger crows that we can use."
Contact."
"Is it safe for you to go?" Robert asked.
"Renly is fine. If the eldest brother wants the heads of the Lannister family, he may not be able to do it. But if Renly wants to come back, no one in the west can stop him. And once the war starts, Tywin will face the attack of the whole country.
As for the nominal crusade, he was in the wrong this time and did not dare to hurt Renly." Werther affirmed and said:
"Adding a fourth, handing over the Mountain, and almost forgetting the promise to the Prince of Dorne."
~~~
Renly has set out for Casterly Rock in the West.
The king and the queen had a quarrel recently, and the news that the queen was so angry that she returned to her parents' home spread throughout King's Landing. It was rumored that Robert sent his brother Renly to persuade the queen to go home.
There is very little news coming back from the west. There are rumors in King's Landing that the queen will live separately from the king after returning. In the past, the Targaryen royal family had a precedent of the king and the queen quarreling and the queen running away in anger and moving to Dragonstone. Therefore, the ministers and nobles
They all advised Robert to calm down.
Kingsguard: Boros Braun, Merlin Tran and Preston Greenfield received the king's order. Stannis temporarily vacated Dragonstone Castle, and Queen Cersei temporarily moved to
Living on Dragonstone Island, three Kingsguards took the queen's maids there first to prepare.
