Robert was robbed of his choice when the Mad King asked for his head. I followed him, as the elder brother. I never asked any more from Renly.
[ and truth be told, Renly had perhaps played something of a role in Stannis's decision to ultimately side with his brother. after all, how long would it have been until Aerys decided to rid Westeros of all traitor's blood? somehow, he did not believe his father's close kinship with the man would've spared his young brother of six from death. ]
You will be glad to know that I played no part in it, nor did the Lady Melisandre. Both my squires could attest to that, as they were attending me when he perished. You may wish to know that in the Westeros that I recall, it was she who urged me to treat with him in the first place.
[ still, something bothered him. something that Davos had said, and something that he knew in his heart of hearts, particularly given how he had used much the same method to strike down the traitor, Ser Penrose.

Melisandre killed your brother. ]
