you know how it goes fill in the damn titles I hereby command edad of house darkar titles titles to serve as Lord Regent and protector of the realm upon my death to rule in my stead until my son Joffrey comes of age Ned watches mournfully as Robert closes his eyes and drifts off to unconsciousness when pisol checks on him he announces that the King has slipped into a coma though he lives it is impossible to tell when he will wake up if at all hearing that his friend still lives is heartening but Ned knows there is little time to delay he gathers his men and tries to secure the succession while he can even going so far as to trust Littlefinger with Gathering the gold cloaks to his side it is bold and desperate but it is all he can do should the king never wake then it is up to him to secure the throne from Cersei however these plans fall apart as the queen has already prepared for this and Littlefinger betray tret leading to his defeat capture and eventual execution though the Stark Army is on the war path and even managed to defeat the Lannisters in battle it seems like all is secure in the capital at least but while Joffrey sits on the iron throne and Cersei Whispers in his ear planning to deal with the baratheons outside of the city she ignores her husband that is until his eyes open and his body rises from the bed pel arrives just as Robert sits his eyes WI ing the Scrolls he's carrying drop to the ground what are you looking at can't a man get some rest around here get Lord Stark in here immediately I want to ask if he's finished the errand I sent him Lord Stark your grace are you deaf as well as dumb yes the hand of the king Your Grace you have been in a coma for a fortnite much has changed Robert's face darkens he grabs the maester by the chain and pulls him close demanding to know what has happened this manages to coax the stuttering tale out of pyel who explains everything though he's careful to word it and make it seem like Ned tried to Stage a coup under the Queen's nose this does little to ease Robert's anger who Roars and throws things against the wall although the grand maer urges him to rest the king demands Court to be called as the Lords and Ladies of the capital gather they all murmur amongst themselves wondering what is happening among them is the queen who announces that the King has not yet called the court yes he has the crowd freezes at the sound of that cersei's smug expression crumbles immediately as the doors to the throne room slide open and the herald announces the name of her husband she shakes her head in disbelief but Robert himself appears striding down the Halls All Eyes turned to him as he regards his wife with utter loathing the queen instinctively moves aside as he eases himself on the throne you are well husband I no thanks to you traitor is this the realm I wake up to I'm not even dead yet and I wake up to a realm tearing itself apart while vultures Circle me this is but chaos you created silence woman I didn't give you leave to speak I will hear of what happened and I shall have the truth very well after you slipped into a coma Lord Stark attempted to Stage a coup naming himself protector of the realm he paid off the city watch the back his claim and at no point did it ever occur to you that those might have been my orders it seemed rather suspicious pel even said that you were delirious and in no position to give orders we believed he was taking advantage of the state you were in the more Cersei talks the greater Robert's Fury grows he announces that the Starks and his brothers are to be pardoned meanwhile the queen mother and the Royal children are to be detained in the red keep while Robert decides what to do with them the gold cloaks hurry to obey and reaffirm their loyalty to the king aside from that Robert decides to summon Stannis to court he first sends a raven but then decides to send someone personally and orders one of his few trustworthy Kings guard Aries oart to journey to Dragonstone and summon Stannis personally telling him to sail the King's Landing immediately meanwhile Balon Swan is sent south to summon renley immediately however while the gold cloaks are momentarily cowed Lord Janna slint knows how precarious his position is his lordship and control over harrenhal all depend on his favor with the Lannisters in the dead of night he and a group of his most loyal men break into the red keep and free Joffrey spiriting him out with the help of Sir Preston Greenfield they slay his guards and make their way out of the city they nearly Ed with Cersei herself but Baris and Sir Marin are both caught by Sir Mand and Moore who kills them when he hears of the news Robert makes his decision Cersei is executed outside the red keep in full view of the small folk while this sends a powerful message that the king is alive and strong it also means there can be no peace with the Lannisters however Robert's position in King's Landing is far from secure though Cersei herself is gone her supporters remain a few of the Lannister supporters who were not detained begin to try to stir up trouble in the city with tommen and Marcela still in his custody they make it sound like the cruel King Robert is holding his children against their will and how his injuries have driven him mad the Lannisters are not particularly popular in the city but with a combination of bribes and deceptions they managed to Rouse several hundred men to take up arms small folk Riot into the streets blaming the king for the war and demanding an immediate end to the hostilities and to provide the with food they are encouraged by the seeming inaction of the gold cloaks Who Remain paralyzed due to their conflicting loyalties this leaves the true King's Men hard pressed to try and put down the Rebellion the next few days turn the city into a Battleground all the while Tywin Lannister receives pel's letter and begins marching towards King's Landing Robert knows he is in no position to fight Tywin in an open battle so he begins organizing the defenses of the city he recruits more Watchmen hires cell swords and strengthens the wall as the king comes alive again he is filled with new energy fueling him and lighting a fire in his stomach for a moment the Robert of old comes back to life as he moves with Renewed Energy every day he visits the workers and Defenders raising their morale and helping with the organization but as he is busy inspecting the Defenders repairing the walls he receives word that the Royal fleet has been spotted off the Horizon the harbor is chaos when stannis's Fleet arrive warships bristling with banners bearing the crown stag of house barath and the Fiery Heart the sight of the royal Fleet sends a ripple of Hope through Robert's beleaguered forces Stannis stands at the prow of his Flagship grim and unyielding his jaw clenched as he studies the defenses from the walls Robert watches his brother's approach he grips the hilt of his Warhammer tightly scanning the streets below where skirmishes still rage between his loyal men and the Lannister sympathizers the arrival of reinforcements is the break they desperately needed and he knows it Stannis dis embarks with a force of 5,000 soldiers disciplined and battle hardened and immediately begins organizing the chaotic defense the streets are a battlefield but stannis's men move with Precision with the reinforcements Robert announces that the rebels have a day to yield or be slaughtered many small folk wisely slip back home depleting the Lannister numbers once the deadlines expire teams of knights and men-at-arms work to deal with the Lannister sympathizers they move through the streets hurting them into alleys where they are cut down to a man Robert leads one of these teams and cuts through the last groups who have held up in flea bottom once he's done he greets his brother Stannis you took your bloody time I came as fast as the winds would allow and I brought men to hold this city if you want gratitude you'll have to wait gratitude a let's see how your men Fair first with stannis's reinforcement securing the streets order begins to return to King's Landing Lannister loyalists are rounded up and summarily executed the gold cloaks emboldened by the arrival of the fleet abandon their hesitation and throw their weight behind the true king slowly but surely the riots are quelled though pockets of resistance remain meanwhile word arrives from the south as one of reny's messgers arrives accompanied by Balon Swan and a small contingent of storm lenders he is marching North with a host of his own already renley is leading a large force of Cavalry at full speed the Infantry is slower but Stan ascends most of the royal Fleet to begin fing them as quickly as possible but these efforts are not fast enough Scouts report that the Lannister forces are just days away however they do not attack right away Tywin first offers terms he will withdraw his forces and pledge peace even handing over Joffrey if tommen is recognized as Heir it's a clever Ploy he'll do whatever it takes to hold on to power even if it means sacrificing his grandson he's offering me scr s while keeping the Feast for himself Robert there's more to this that you realize tommen isn't your Heir none of them are what in the seven Hells are you talking about Stannis I'm saying they're not your children Joffrey tmen Marcella the bastards every one of them born of incest between Cersei and Jamie you're accusing my wife of of betting a brother if you lost your mind she's a mad woman no doubt but this is a claim too much even for her yet it happened John Aaron and I were investigating before his death why do you think he was killed and why I fled to Dragonstone all of cersei's children of golden air like the Lannisters not a trace of barathan black do you think that's a coincidence Robert opens his mouth to argue but the words die in his throat he looks down at his hands his knuckles white as he grips the edge of the table you're lying I see you will not trust me again then perhaps you will believe your precious Ned Stark he knew too he died trying to protect your claim trying to warn you at the mention of Ned's name Robert flinches as if struck Ned he knew and he didn't tell me he tried but you were injured and slipped into your coma to prove his point Stannis produces the letter Ned sent to him telling him to come to King's Landing to claim his seat he says how he came to see the truth as well Robert sinks into his chair gripping his Temple he thinks back to all the times he's watched those kids thinking they were his he thinks to Joffrey and his cruelty tommen so helpless and Marcel so sure of herself all the times he talked to them sat them on his lap without ever realizing just who they truly were even then he thinks of Ned working so hard to repair the realm and clean the mess he created he knew he was far from perfect but to have made blunders such as this how could that have happened he realized to his horror that it wasn't Joffrey or Cersei or Tywin that killed net it was him and his neglect Gods how could I have been so blind this isn't time for self-pity the truth is out now and you have a choice to make will you fight for your throne or will you let ta and lanus steal it from you let him try we'll bleed and dry on these walls true to Stan's prediction once the terms are rejected Taiwan wastes no time in attacking the Lannister Army lays Siege to kingk Landing day after day taiwan's forces batter the walls with Siege engines their troops hurdling themselves against the gates in Relentless waves Robert leads the defense personally his Warhammer smashing through enemy ranks as he fights alongside his men Stannis directs the battle at top battlements ensuring that every breach is plugged every Counterattack repelled at times he leads countercharges and sores to beat the Lannisters back the city holds but the strain is evident they do not have the men to withhold the siege for long especially as Taiwan unleashes his monsters men like the Mountain sir Emory and the brave companions wreak havoc at top the walls cutting through Defenders with ease creating gaps and depleting their outnumbered Army even further but though they strain the walls continue to hold and this gives enough time for renley to arrive ships come bearing some infantry which reinforces the city while Days Later reny's banners appear Over the Horizon with almost 20,000 Cavalry rushing towards them Taiwan is forced to break off and retreat his men practically disappear overnight as by the next day their camps are abandoned as they Retreat to the westerlands however the barathan siblings are not about to let them go reny's Horsemen pursue them relentlessly Randall tarly in the night of flowers Take the Lead keeping their sword against tywin's back they harass him day and night never giving him a chance to rest his army already exhausted from a Siege begins to disintegrate even as houses from the crownlands join the assault turning this Retreat into a blood match by the time the dust settles Tywin and Joffrey's heads are presented to robbert while the remaining Lannisters come to terms now the time comes to make peace this proves much easier than making War as many factions are exhausted and eager to come to terms the first are the Starks and tulies while they originally declared Rob King in the north Robert's presence complicates things as he was the king of all of them and previously sworn allegiance to more importantly it was the king Ned died defending it doesn't hurt that he releases Sansa without Ransom apologizes and personally brings Ned's bones back to the crypts prompting the north to bend the knees without a fight the dornish also prove willing to make peace once Robert hands over the skulls of Tywin and the mountain it is at least enough to keep them plated letting the realm enjoy some level of Peace but although it is a success Robert does not feel like a victory the loss of Ned Rings loudly drowning out any glory and pride he might have felt at this point he would have entrusted the rebuilding to his hand in small Council but he's now determined to do it himself as a way to honor his friend as he tours the riverlands he sees the destruction wrought by the Lannisters himself he doesn't see glory and victory simply destruction and Chaos there are burnt out villages in more bodies than he can count women children and the elderly are all killed in a senseless War what he doesn't find his Justice unlike his Rebellion where he fought for a cause he can't help but feel how pointless this war was it only happened to fuel Lannister Ambitions but while that might have gotten his blood boiling he remembers they only grew so powerful because of his neglect despite his brothers and Ned's warnings he ignored it until the problem became too big to ignore instead Robert throws himself at undoing the damage caused by this war he pours resources into repairing the realm fixing septs and Villages punishing those responsible for the raiding and ensuring the Lords of the seven kingdom are doing enough to help people rebuild this is thanks to the watchful eye of Stannis and renley who advised their brother with Ned gone Rob must increasingly rely on them to run the Seven Kingdoms and while the relationship is fraught they prove to be excellent advisers Stannis starts by clearing Court removing corrupt officials like pyel Littlefinger and Varys while renley appeals to the Lords and Ladies of the realm using his charm to win them over and secure Robert's Reign this includes finding Replacements of the small Council slowly but surely the realm begins to stabilize scars heel and the small folk return to their homes it seems like Robert has succeeded in honoring his late friend's memory but one thing continues to nag at his mind Daenerys Targaryen his last conversation with Ned was his wish to resend the reward for her head and he meant it but it seemed much had happened while he was in his coma not only had she survived but it seems she has turned conqueror too reports abound of her some claiming she's hatched dragons and more saying she is now in slavers Bay Conquering the cities there Robert can hardly believe them at first but his new master of Whispers mandra confirms these reports she has spies report to her confirming the claims though small the dragons are very much real and growing quickly she also casts spells searching Into the Fire for an ERS in the new Temple of rolar Robert watches as massandra begins raising a flame of Brilliant Orange and blinding red it rises over 20 ft high and brushes up against the ceiling Robert peers into the flame trying to see the images that melisandra claims soon he begins to Glimpse things a bell ringing a dragon flying across King's Landing and burning the city to the ground he sees the red keep come crashing down and a silver-haired queen he watches as the dragons burn prisoners small folk and ships as they die out Robert looks back in horror staring at the dying Embers that that destruction can one woman truly be responsible for all that the Flames reveal the future but not the path much can be done to prevent this from happening that is why I am here to serve the good of man and we must do everything we can to prevent this from coming to pass Robert orders melisandra to gather all possible information about Daenerys using contacts in the red priesthood and studying the Flames she starts to catch glimpses of the conquest of slavers Bay she sees her Army thousands of unsullied augmented by a horde of Fred men sellswords and other followers each of the three slaver cities Falls one by one to the dragon Queen until she manages to capture Marine this is troubling news for the king is now from a simple Exile Daenerys is a monarch in her own right and one with a powerful Army although he tries to have Melisandre Glimpse her intentions the Flames prove less reliable here however unknown to them her rule is far from secure while she might control Marine rebellions soon break out in yunkai and aapor is recaptured there are also reports that new Gus and karth are mobilizing for war though these are just Whisperers that is until one day he receives a visitor in his court an ambassador from yunkai your grace King Robert of house Baratheon first of your name protector of the realm I come before you as a humble servant of yunai the yellow city with a plea most urgent get on with it then have no time for Flowery speeches as you may have heard the so-called Queen of Dragons daer Targaryen has waged War upon the city of slavers Bay he has laid waste to aapor and threatened Yun Kai but now she has claimed the greatest of them all Marine all the while her cell swords and unsullied so chaos in its wake from my sources they tell me they were yunar Cel swords and months before that aapor unsolid it seems you need to keep your troops under control the yunkish ambassador's face darkens as he barely holds back a curse Robert watch watches him closely almost wishing he'd say it they have been dazzled by her dragons and won her allies through treachery you know of targaryen's treachery more than anyone that is why the wise Masters come to you humbly requesting the aid of the Seven Kingdoms against this usurper if left unchecked she will turn her eyes Westward and Her Dragons will darken the Skies over your lands surely it is in the interest of your great Kingdom to strike at this threat while it remains across the narrow sea what exactly is it you're telling me Ambassador gold ships men we seek your support in any form you deem appropriate your reputation as a warrior and a protector of your people is known even in the Far Corners of os we know of the great battle where you heroically slew the Mad prince raar who stole your beloved you don't need to tell me about the tribe I lived it Ambassador I didn't risk my life and kin on that River for a whim I did so because there was Justice to my cause but if I sail to slavers Bay what shall I be doing helping you throw thousands back into bondage if you know so much about my realm you know that we do not deal in slavery and in preventing this evil you will allow a greater one to thrive she has dragons one she's willing to unleash upon her foes for now they remain small but what should happen when they grow larger no the only option is to stop them now while they've remained small very well I'll not dismiss your words outright let it never be said that Robert Baratheon doesn't consider all sides before making a decision armies take time to mobilize and you have allies yes k in nugis as well as very well I will make my decision once they have their armies ready until then I shall remain out of this war this puts Robert at a Crossroads if there was a coalition against her then Westeros could take part and ensure that she could never challenge his rule in the Seven Kingdoms but at the same time is he prepared to drag his kingdom into war when he is not even sure she intends to invade there is much to consider and still much he doesn't know melisandra doesn't have the capability to see all of this prompting Robert to go for a more traditional method sending an ambassador to meet with the Queen the task falls on renley who was sent to slavers Bay to learn more about Daenerys and to ascertain the possibility of creating a peace deal with her Robert instructs him to do everything in his power to prevent War even offering a formal apology for the assassination however the words of the yunkish weighed heavily on his mind he thinks of his visions and or order Stanis to prepare a naval squadron and mobilize a small army ready to March at any point in the coming months however whether they will March for or against the dragon Queen is another question Robert watches as renley boards one of the war galys and sails off however as he disappears into the narrow sea Robert thinks back to the iron throne and he receives reports from the north a wildling horde was marching towards the wall though its forces were smashed by Rob Stark and johon snow they received troubling reports from captured wildlings the white walkers have returned they warn that they are starting to stir all across the Lands Beyond the north the wildlings are fleeing from them by the thousands and the knight's watch urges the Seven Kingdoms to prepare suddenly Robert finds himself laughing a cold bitter sound that Echoes across the empty throne room so this is what it means to be king to see your realm on
