Chapter 0116: Bad Fate
"I swear in honor of the Seven Gods and the Lannisters that from now on, no matter what terrible prophecies the witch queen utters, I will not harm her, and I will only be grateful. "Duke Tywin's oath was spoken with the same majesty, as if he were giving an order to fight. His face and tone were cold, and there was not the slightest hint of gratitude.
Witch nodded, revealing her shiny black teeth, the smile on her face was strange and dark, she looked at Duke Tywin's expression full of god-like authority, no matter how majestic Duke Tywin was, her eyes and expression were high, with the momentum of looking down on mortals.
However, Lord Tywin didn't mind the witch's strength, and his majestic expression was still ironclad.
Is Lord Tywin's oath true?
No one knew this, perhaps the Duke himself. When things change, the oath threatens to drift like smoke for the duke.
As a true archduke with wit and iron, Duke Tywin spoke more humbly to the witch because he thought farther and saw more deeply.
The witch queen's amazing prophetic abilities are completely at his disposal. And, there's no substitute!
In the old days of the Targaryen Dynasty, two successive generations of kings promoted the 'One Thousand and One Eyes' Brindon Rivers to the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms, one person under ten thousand people, why?
Brin Hemven was born out of wedlock, and although he was later legalized by the king's father, he was no more than a warrior. From a warrior to a prime minister, just because he has the ability to change shapes very suddenly, the possession ability of 'a thousand other eyes' is not trivial.
As a result, because of his sudden ability, Brindon Gawain also became the prime minister of the kingdom from an ordinary soldier, and won victories for the king in eradicating the rebels, suppressing the rebels, fighting the enemy, and thwarting the conspiracy of political opponents.
Tywin naturally wanted to have a super figure like 'One Thousand and One Eyes' by his side, and the verification of Wu Ji's prophecy had actually moved his heart, but Duke Tywin's heart was also as cold as frost and ruthless, which was completely different from other people's heartbeats.
Assuming that there is a witch queen in this article and a magic mountain in Wu, Duke Tywin will feel much more down-to-earth.
So will Witch Queen be able to live up to the superman that Lord Tywin wants to be, like Briynden Gawain?
Duke Tywin has his own sharp gaze and precise judgment.
*
"Lord Duke, Bran Stark is an expert climber, he is seven years old, but he has been climbing the remnant tower for two years. He knew exactly where there were holes in the remnant tower, where there were weeds, which floor was inhabited by crows, and which layer was a snow bird, and he had the habit of climbing the remnant tower. ”
"Yes, I'm listening!" said Duke Tywin, with his waist and neck straight, like a gun.
"He was pushed down from the top by a lion, and of course the lion didn't want to cripple him, but to kill him. ”
"Who?"
"Jaime Lannister. ”
Duke Tywin's breathing was a little dull and imperceptible. But Wu Ji could not see it more clearly.
"Why?" Tywin's voice remained steady.
"Jaime is working on the top floor of the remnant tower with his sister Cersei, who is King Robert's queen, and the two of them are not small. Cersei's snort was heard by the child who was climbing the remnant tower, and then the child appeared at the window with a few weeds, and the queen was the first to see the child, and then Jaime saw the child. ”
Silent!
Dead as quiet.
"It doesn't make sense. Duke Tywin said. His expression didn't change, except that the veins on his neck bulged.
"I know what you want to say, the king and the duke have gone to the wolf forest to hunt with a large group of men, and they will not come back at all without more than half a month. This wasn't the first time Jaime and Cersei had a tryst on the remnant tower, it was the safest place in all of Winterfell, no one would go up to the remnant tower, which had been abandoned for years, and it was the highest level. ”
Duke Tywin stared at the Witch, who looked at the Duke with soft eyes. The Duke's nail-like gaze had no effect on the witch.
"Witch Queen, I'm going to ask you one more question. ”
What Duke Tywin said was not what I thought, it was what I wanted, and it was an affirmative tone that could not be refuted or questioned.
"I will say what I know. ”
"Lady Witch, Jaime and Cersei, how long have you been together. For the first time, Duke Tywin brought the word "Lady" with honorifics.
"All I can say is, for a long, long time!"
The Duke was not satisfied with Witch Queen's answer.
"I'll pay you another hundred gold dragons for this question. The Duke said, his face hardened and his eyes were as cold as ice.
This shows that the duke has always had this question in his heart, but he put it in his heart and became a question that he did not dare to touch because of this matter, just because the impact of this matter was too great.
Jaime and Cersei were cheating on him, and when it was revealed, the Westside was completely morally at a disadvantage. Once the irascible King knew, he wouldn't hesitate to cut off Jaime and Cersei's heads. The power of the King's Castle and the nobility of the King's realm will become enemies in the West.
Of course, add the north, the riverlands, the valleys, the riverbends, and the bloody feud of Dorne, and this war will be over in the west.
Can't let the matter of Jaime and Cersei be revealed, that's the key to the matter. The king must always be kept in the dark, as it is now. Even if it is exposed, there must be a denial. Of course, the foolproof way is to kill King Robert, set up another little king Joffrey, who doesn't know anything, and then control Joffrey in his own hands, so as to eliminate the catastrophe of annihilation.
Then, Cersei stayed at the palace, and Jaime returned to the West to be the heir of Castle Rock, and so, God did it!
"Lady Witch Queen, tell me the details, and I will make you the High Priest of the West, with a monthly payment of ten gold and ten gold to be in charge of all the priests and sanctuaries in the West. The generals and knights of the Westlands must salute you when they see them. ”
When Duke Tywin said this, he naturally decided to reuse the witch. He didn't want the Westlands to be destroyed and the Lannisters destroyed. Now that Wu Ji knows a secret that she shouldn't know, if she doesn't follow the duke, will the duke hang her?
However, the matter was too big, and Wu Ji decided to use euphemism. She wouldn't be so stupid as to actually say it out of her mouth.
"Lord Duke, what you suspect in your heart may be the truth. ”
Duke Tywin's heart shook.
What he suspected in his heart was the truth: Prince Joffrey, Prince Tomman and Princess Messira were really born to Jaime and Cersei.
Although Wu Ji did not say it explicitly, the Duke already understood. If what the witch queen said was true.
If this scandal were to be made public, King Robert would have killed Jaime and Cersei in the first place, stuck their heads in the tip of a gun, and then marched across the country to wipe out the West, as well as all the distant relatives of the Lannisters.
Duke Tywin's cold sweat instantly soaked his underwear. The question that he had hidden in his heart for more than ten years and did not dare to ask for an answer finally got a definite answer today.
But his face didn't change.
"Lady Witch, is there a way to resolve the crisis?" the Duke asked in a deep voice, his tone already fierce.
"Yes!"
It was a simple word, but it was the most beautiful voice the Duke had heard in decades.
