Chapter 101 Secret Exposed

Gavin secretly sent the news that Robert Baratheon's three children, including his heir, were actually illegitimate children born from incest between Queen Cersei Lannister and her twin brother Jaime Lannister to Jon Arryn.

He also informed Queen Cersei and Littlefinger Petyr that Jon Arryn had learned about this matter. Gavin believed that Cersei would find ways to eliminate Jon Arryn, the insider, in order to protect herself, and Littlefinger, who had long wanted to create chaos and get a chance, would definitely add fuel to the fire.

King's Landing - Maegor's Tower

Cersei's face was gloomy, with anger and fear in her eyes. She held the letter tightly, her hand trembling slightly, and the other hand tightly grasped Jaime's arm.

"Jaime!" Her voice was sharp and urgent, "How could our secret be discovered? This damn letter said that not only did someone know about what happened between you and me, but it also mentioned that Jon Arryn already knew it! You must kill that old thing as soon as possible, do it as soon as possible or it will be too late."

Jaime frowned, looking embarrassed, "The guards of the Prime Minister's Tower were brought by Jon from the Vale, and it is difficult for me to find an opportunity to do it. Besides, what should I do after killing Jon Arryn."

"What do you mean?" Cersei glared at him, "Are you going to watch our affairs be exposed? If Robert finds out, our children, Joffrey, Tommen and Myrcella, they will all die! Do you understand?"

She paced back and forth in anger, "I really hate why I am a woman! I should take a sword to solve the problem instead of worrying here!"

Jaime took a deep breath and tried to comfort her, "Cersei, you Calm down first. I'll find a way to send you and Joffrey back to the Westerly."

"Calm down? How can you tell me to calm down!" Cersei stopped and stared at Jaime fiercely, "Jon Arryn is already investigating, time is running out! We must find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible, otherwise everything will be over! Even if you send me and the child back to the Westerly, Robert will not let us go, and the Westerly cannot stop the Iron Throne."

"I know, dear sister." Jaime's expression also became serious, "But this matter can't be rushed. Once discovered, the consequences will be disastrous. We must act cautiously and find the most appropriate time."

Cersei bit her lip, was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Okay, you find a way as soon as possible. Remember, we have no way out, for the children and for ourselves..."

Jaime came down from Maegor's Tower, looking flustered, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and his eyes were erratic. His steps were hurried, as if driven by invisible fear, and every step seemed heavy and flustered. His hands clenched unconsciously, and the veins on his fair skin stood out.

Suddenly, when he turned, he almost bumped into Petyr. Petyr still had that iconic humble smile on his face, and he bowed slightly to greet him: "Good day, Ser Jaime."

At this time, Jaime had no intention of paying attention to the other party. He just lowered his head and said in a low and hurried voice: "Sir Petyr, I have something to do, so I won't chat with you." After that, without waiting for Petyr to answer, he hurried away, leaving only a flustered footsteps.

Petyr looked at Jaime's departing back, and his eyes slowly moved up the stairs that Jaime came down from Maegor's Tower. His eyes were deep and complex, making it difficult to understand. The smile on the corner of his mouth gradually converged, and he was replaced by a thoughtful expression. I don't know what he is thinking in his heart, and there seems to be a bottomless conspiracy hidden in his eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, he took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and then walked up the stairs of Maegor's Tower with cautious steps.

At the same time, in the Tower of Prime Minister, Jon Arryn held the letter, his hands trembling slightly, and the letter made a slight rustling sound in his hands. He frowned and stared at the words on the letter. His heart was like a storm, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

His eyes were full of disbelief, but the evidence listed in the letter was so conclusive that he had to worry about this cruel fact. He paced back and forth in the room, and every step seemed heavy and hesitant.

His face was full of embarrassment and entanglement, and the wrinkles on his forehead became deeper, as if telling of his inner torment. He was struggling fiercely in his heart: "Is this... true or false? Should I tell Robert now? If I conceal this, how can my conscience be at peace? But if I tell Robert, he will be furious after knowing this, and no one can stop him with his hot temper. The Seven Kingdoms will be in chaos, the Iron Throne and the West will go to war, and the entire kingdom will be engulfed in endless chaos and war. What should I do?"

Jon Arryn fell into deep worry. He didn't know who sent the news, but that person must have a conspiracy. Once he made a choice, he would most likely fall into a bigger trap.

He stopped, sighed heavily, supported his hands on the edge of the table, and lowered his head. The wind outside the window whistled past, making the curtains rustle, but it couldn't blow away the haze in his heart.

At this moment, the waiter pushed the door open, bowed to Jon Arryn, and said respectfully: "Prime Minister, His Majesty has called a royal meeting, and I hope you can go now."

Jon Arryn was slightly shocked, and when he came to his senses, the worry on his face had not faded. He took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said in a deep voice: "I know, I'll go right over."

He quickly put the letter in his hand into the drawer, straightened his clothes, a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes, and then he followed the waiter to the royal meeting.

Ever since the news that Gavin Bellerys was going to marry Princess Daenerys reached King's Landing half a month ago, Robert has been furious and vowed to attack the Stepstones and kill Gavin Bellerys, the traitor and the remnant of the Targaryen family.

It was only because he kept persuading Robert that he was able to suppress Robert's impulse. But obviously Robert was not so calm, and his wisdom was occupied by hatred.

In the past few days, Robert, who rarely participated in the royal meetings, kept taking the initiative to convene royal meetings, hoping to launch a war against the Stepstones, and even called his brother Stannis to King's Landing for this purpose.

At every meeting, Robert's face flushed, roared loudly, and waved his thick arms, as if he wanted to kill Gavin Bellerys immediately.

The ministers standing by were silent, no one dared to speak easily, for fear of angering the king who was in a rage. Only Jon Arryn, the experienced Prime Minister, was still trying hard to calm Robert down.
