Chapter 2 Robert is upset
King's Landing.
Red Keep Maegor's Holdfast.
Ever since 'Maegor the Cruel' completed the Red Keep, it has been a castle within a castle, the royal residence.
After Robert succeeded in ascending to the throne, he naturally regarded this place as his own residence.
Although he often liked to sleep in brothels, this was his home after all.
The walls were hung with yellow tapestries with stag heads, and the floor was covered with carpets.
There were more than a dozen lamps mounted on the walls, which could light fifty candles at a time.
The room was filled with incense, leaving no doubt that this was the king's residence.
Huh-huh-huh-
what was inconsistent with the surrounding environment was Robert's deafening snoring.
Since he became king, his weight has begun to increase hopelessly.
Less than ten years after becoming king, his weight has soared by 5 stone! (Explained later)
The belly on the big bed, like a meat mountain, rose and fell, which was very indecent.
Just when he was sleeping soundly, a blond boy ran in.
He was holding a silk package in his hand, and mucus was faintly oozing out of it.
"Father, father!"
The boy was Joffrey, who was about eight or nine years old. He had just done something "brave" and wanted to show off to his father.
Joffrey called out while trying to push Robert's huge body with his stick-like arms.
Whoosh!
The snoring stopped abruptly, and Robert woke up. He heard Joffrey's voice in a daze, so he turned his head to look over.
"What... ahem, what's going on?" Robert asked, clearing his throat.
"Father, look!"
Joffrey put the small silk bag on the head of Robert's bed and said expectantly.
"What is it?"
Robert, like a fat seal, struggled to support his round body so that he could lean against the head of the bed.
He sat up under Joffrey's expectant gaze, and then stretched out his thick and fat fingers to uncover it.
A wet and bloody flesh mass appeared in front of him.
"What is this!" Robert was shocked.
"I caught a pregnant cat and wanted to see what color the kittens in her belly were, so I cut open her belly. Father, do you think I'm brave?"
Joffrey was still looking at Robert with a smile, but he didn't realize that there was a fierce light in his eyes!
Snap -
with a crisp sound that spread throughout the entire bedroom, Joffrey was slapped to the ground by Robert.
Two milk teeth were even knocked out, and the replacement of teeth was completed prematurely!
Robert was already known for his bravery, and he didn't hold back on this slap. Even if he used an ineffective way of exerting force, he still slapped his "firstborn son" so hard that he saw stars.
That day, the whole Maegor's Tower could hear Robert's roar:
"Lock up this bastard! No one is allowed to bring him food!"
The servants hurried forward to clean up Joffrey and the unborn kitten, leaving the furious Robert gasping on the bed.
'Oh my God, how could I give birth to such a beast! '
He rubbed his fat face, and the maid brought a basin of water and a piece of lavender soap.
Robert wet his hands and face skillfully, then applied the soap to wash.
Because he didn't pay attention to his diet, Robert found that his face was always greasy, and it was always hard to wash it clean with just water.
Since he used this thing, he couldn't leave it.
When he felt that his mind was clearer, a guard reported:
"Your Majesty, Varys has news to report to you."
"Let him in."
Soon, a bald eunuch wearing purple silk clothes and a slightly fat figure walked in.
Although he was a little fat, he was still a small witch compared to Robert.
"Your Majesty." Varys bowed respectfully, and then took out a note from his arms.
"Tell me directly if you have any news." Robert leaned his face up on the head of the bed and raised his fat big hand to signal.
"Your Majesty, Viserys, who fled to Braavos, won the swordfighting tournament."
"Viserys! That dragon cub!!"
Hearing the news about the 'remnants of the previous dynasty', he sat up immediately, his eyes widened. Even
if Braavos is not the most powerful of the Free Cities, it is one of the best.
Their 'Ten Days Celebration' can attract mercenaries and swordsmen from all over the Free Cities to participate.
Viserys was able to win the first place in such a celebration! Either it means that he is ridiculously strong, or it means that someone is supporting him behind the scenes.
Both possibilities are not good news for him.
"Didn't Littlefinger send an assassin? No result?"
"Your Majesty, the assassin's whereabouts are currently unknown, and it should have failed, but I have a news about Mormont."
Varys calmly demonstrated his ability.
"Hurry up!" Robert's eyes lit up.
Varys reported the big bear's request and the current situation to Robert, and appeased the somewhat irritable fat deer.
"Okay, you will be responsible for this matter."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
In Varys's opinion, the current situation is very good.
The Viserys brothers and sisters have fully played the role of "targets".
With the addition of the Big Bear, Robert's attention can be completely attracted.
However, there is a flaw in the ointment, that is, Viserys is unwilling to join the Golden Company.
This makes it difficult for them to monitor Viserys well.
In fact, Varys is also very curious now. He has seen Viserys when he was a child.
From his performance, his martial arts talent should be relatively ordinary.
It stands to reason that he is only sixteen years old and can't reach such a level.
This is beyond his expectations.
Varys doesn't care. No matter how strong Viserys is in martial arts, he is just the next "Cold Iron" Egg.
After so many years of development, the Golden Company has only tens of thousands of people.
In his opinion, Viserys is amazing for being able to establish a second Golden Company in his lifetime.
As for overthrowing the Iron Throne... Haha, it's better to be a target honestly.
Just as he was about to leave, a blonde woman in a red dress walked in angrily.
Because of her big steps and fast speed, her hair was blown up by the oncoming airflow, like an angry lioness. Her
green eyes were full of anger.
This woman was none other than Robert's queen Cersei.
When she saw her son's swollen cheeks, she felt like she was surrounded by flames.
Varys was very sensitive to Cersei's "arrival" and quickly moved away.
Before Robert could react, he saw a golden afterimage smashing towards him.
Bang -
a muffled sound, juice splashed everywhere.
Cersei actually hit Robert's face directly with a wine jug. Robert
covered his mouth and felt like there was something in his mouth. When he spit it out, it turned out to be half a front tooth.
"Woman!!!"
His roar once again resounded through Maegor's Tower.
——Everyone
knows that King Joe performed a caesarean section on a cat, but not many people may know about Cersei's part.
Robert asked someone to keep it a secret afterwards, and insisted that his tooth was knocked out during a jousting match.
In the original book, Robert gained 8 stone, but considering the timeline, I just "lost some weight".
