"My eldest brother went to Grand Maester Pycelle to ask for a book called 'Genealogies and Histories of the Principal Nobles of the Seven Kingdoms,' which records the facial features of all members of our House Baratheon. The male descendants of the Baratheon family have always had black hair and black eyes, and even multiple intermarriages with the Targaryens could not change this appearance."
Hearing this, Robert began to wonder and fell into deep thought.
"Also, brother, think about your bastards. No matter what the women looked like, they all had black eyes and black hair. And Joffrey is a complete Lannister."
Robert thought about it for a moment and began to believe it. "I'll investigate this matter. How did you know about this? Does anyone else know?"
"The smell. At first, I smelled Cersei's perfume on Jaime. Then I thought about Joffrey's personality. We Baratheons have never had a madman. Then I went to investigate, and it turned out to be true."
Robert tried to struggle a little, "But this is just your one-sided statement. This concerns the succession of the kingdom!"
Witt took out a small bottle and a glass candle from his arms. There was very fine powder in the bottle. He sprinkled a little bit on Robert's hands and clothes. It was invisible to the naked eye.
Using magic to light the candle, the powder on Robert's hands and clothes suddenly emitted a purple light.
"Brother, touch me with your hands."
Robert touched Witt's shoulder with his hand that was emitting purple light. The powder on Witt's shoulder also emitted purple light under the light of the glass candle, a handprint of Robert.
"It's a little magic trick. It's odorless and non-toxic. It won't wash off with water and won't fall off until a week later. Brother, sprinkle it on yourself and sleep with Cersei. In a few days, have Renly light a glass candle and see if Jaime glows. That'll prove it."
Witte spent years researching and finally creating the powder.
Robert picked up the vial. "Does anyone else know about this?"
"I found out through my own investigation, but the whole world is watching every move of the Iron Throne. As Joffrey grows up, I'm not the only smart person, and the truth will eventually be revealed." When Witt said this, he cast another tranquility spell on Robert in advance.
"Princess Myrcella and Prince Tommen, also the children of Jaime and Cersei."
Robert's anger was suppressed by magic, and sadness prevailed. With tears in his eyes, he silently hid the small bottle and glass candle in his arms.
~~~
A few days later, news came from the Red Keep that Queen Cersei had a big fight with Robert, and she took Prince Joffrey, 4-year-old Princess Myrcella and 3-year-old Prince Tommen back to the Westerly, with Jaime of the Kingsguard responsible for their protection.
Knowing the deed was done, Wright rushed to the Red Keep. Robert's temper would have meant the slaughter of the Lannisters, even if it meant war. But Renly, using a tranquilizer spell, calmed him down and summoned his brothers to discuss a plan.
In the king's bedroom.
"That crazy woman! I scolded her a few times and she actually admitted it to my face! She even called me a pig! She even dared to escape from the dungeon! Her whole family is guilty of treason! I will massacre the West!"
Renly leaned over and whispered in his ear, "After my brother and I discovered Jaime's problem, he went to find Cersei. I took them both to the dungeon and left the three children alone for the time being."
"Who let them go back to the West?"
"I don't know. He disappeared not long after entering the dungeon."
"That shouldn't be Varys. He's not in the Red Keep. It wouldn't be that quick for him to get the news and send people into the dungeon. It should be someone close to Cersei." Witt thought.
"The treasury has been out of money for a long time and has been relying on loans to support it! We still owe Tywin 800,000 gold dragons and Renly and Whitten 500,000 gold dragons. To completely wipe out the Westerly, we must recruit soldiers from at least three duchies. How can we fight a war without money?" These figures were mentioned many times in the royal court meeting and were mentioned again by Stannis.
Whit also looked at Robert and thought, "If it weren't for me, Renly, and Stannis changing his fate and helping Robert make money, Robert would have owed Tywin three million gold dragons in the future!"
"Kill Tywin's entire family, and the Lannisters' money will be mine!"
Robert said angrily:
"Tell the Chancellor to borrow from the Iron Bank!"
Witte continued, "What about the king's reputation and honor? What about the Baratheon family's reputation and honor? For thousands of years in the Seven Kingdoms, even the Targaryens, who married close relatives, were recognized by the bishops. At most, there were wars over illegitimate children, but there has never been a case of a prince being 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 brother starts a war in this name, he will truly become the first person in history." Stannis told the truth.
"Fuck!" Robert kicked the headboard to pieces, and Renly quickly used healing magic on Robert's foot.
"Joffrey Weinwater, Myrcella Weinwater, Tommen Weinwater, none of them are my children!"
[Robert is in no condition to come up with any good ideas, so he has to do it himself.]
Witt poured Robert a glass of wine and used a calming spell to calm him down.
"I have a suggestion. First, arrange for someone to confirm the current rumors: the king and queen are not on good terms, and the queen is returning to the west with her child.
Second, let Tywin execute them secretly. If he can't do it, I will do it. Brother Robert will find a new queen."
There was a long pause before Robert gestured for someone to continue.
"Third, Tywin Lannister must forgive the treasury's debt of 800,000 gold dragons and privately compensate Brother Robert for 500,000 gold dragons."
Robert thought about it and decided that for the sake of his own reputation, he could only swallow his anger and not become the greatest cuckold in history.
"Compensate me 1 million! If you don't accept the above three conditions, I will not give up my reputation and will borrow money from the Iron Bank to destroy the West!" Most of the money was given to Robert personally, not to the national treasury. Robert asked for a huge amount.
Renly took over and said, "In the past, we couldn't use the maesters' ravens during negotiations. I will go and talk to Tywin myself, and Werther will stay in the Red Keep to protect my brother and prevent Tywin from taking any action. Werther and I have a private raven to communicate."
"Is it safe for you to go?" Robert asked.
"Renly is fine. If my brother wanted the heads of the entire Lannister family, he might not be able to do it. But if Renly wants to come back, no one in the Westerlands can stop him. And once the war breaks out, Tywin will face an attack from the entire country and a nominal crusade. He is in the wrong this time and dare not harm Renly." Wright gave his affirmation and said:
"Add a fourth, hand over the Mountain, and almost forget the promise I made to the Prince of Dorne."
~~~
Renly has set out for Casterly Rock in the West.
Recently, the king and queen had a quarrel, and the news that the queen was so angry that she went back 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 was little news coming back from the West. There were rumors in King's Landing that the queen would live separately from the king after her return. There was a precedent in the Targaryen royal family where the king and queen had quarreled and the queen had run away in anger and moved to Dragonstone, so the ministers and nobles all advised Robert to calm down.
Kingsguard: Boros Blount, Meryn Trant and Preston Greenfield received the king's order that Stannis temporarily vacate Dragonstone Castle and Queen Cersei temporarily move to Dragonstone. The three Kingsguards took the queen's maids to make preparations.
