Chapter 101 Secret Exposed

Chapter 101 Secret Exposed
Gawen secretly sent the news to Jon Arryn 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.

He also informed Queen Cersei and Littlefinger Petyr that Jon Arryn had learned of the matter. Gawan 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 Holdfast
Cersei's face was gloomy, and her eyes showed anger and fear. She held the letter tightly, her hands trembling slightly, and her 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 knew about 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 Hand's Tower were all brought by Jon from the Vale. It's hard for me to find an opportunity to take action. Besides, what should I do after killing Jon Arryn?"

"What do you mean?" Cersei glared at him. "Do you want to see our affair exposed? If Robert finds out, our children, Joffrey, Tommen, and Myrcella, will all die! Do you understand?"

She paced back and forth angrily, "I really hate myself for being a woman! I should be using a sword to solve the problem instead of just standing here and worrying!"

Jaime took a deep breath and tried to comfort her. "Cersei, calm down first. I will find a way to send you and Joffrey back to the West."

"Calm down? How can you ask 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 West, Robert will not let us go, and the West will not be able to stop the Iron Throne."

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

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

Jaime came down from Maegor's Holdfast, looking flustered, with beads of sweat on his forehead and his eyes wandering. He walked hurriedly, as if driven by an invisible fear, and every step seemed heavy and flustered. His hands clenched unconsciously, and the blue veins stood out on his fair skin.

Suddenly, when he turned a corner, he almost bumped into Petyr. Petyr still had that signature humble smile on his face, bowed slightly and greeted 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 else to do. I won't chat with you anymore." After that, without waiting for Petyr to answer, he hurried away, leaving behind only a flustered sound of footsteps.

Petyr looked at Jaime's departing back, his eyes slowly moving up the stairs that Jaime came down from Maegor's Tower. His eyes were deep and complex, making it hard to read. The smile on his lips gradually faded, replaced by a thoughtful look. No one knew what he was thinking about, and there seemed 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 the Prime Minister, Jon Arryn held the letter, his hands trembling slightly, and the letter made a slight rustling sound in his hands. He frowned, staring 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 each step seemed heavy and hesitant.

His face was full of embarrassment and confusion, and the wrinkles on his forehead became deeper, as if telling of his inner torment. He was struggling fiercely in his heart: "This... is it 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, with his hot temper, and no one will be able to stop him. The Seven Kingdoms will be in chaos, war will break out between the Iron Throne and the West, 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 message, 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, and placed his hands on the edge of the table, lowering his head. The wind whistled past the window, making the curtains rustle, but it could not blow away the haze in his heart.

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

Jon Arryn was slightly shocked, and when he came back 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 and hurried to the imperial meeting.

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

Only by his constant persuasion and admonition did he manage to suppress Robert's impulse. But it was obvious that Robert was not so calm, and his wisdom was occupied by hatred.

In the past few days, Robert, who rarely attended private meetings, has been actively convening private meetings, hoping to launch a war against the Stepstones. For this purpose, he even summoned his brother Stannis to King's Landing.

At every meeting, Robert's face turned red, he roared loudly, and waved his strong arms, as if he wanted to kill Gavin Belleris 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.
