'We stand behind you lord stark.' they walked into the throne room, a united front.

'All hail your Grace King Joffrey of house Baratheon and Lannister the first of his name the king of the andals and the first man, lord of the seven kingdoms and protector of the realm.' Ned walked forward. Joffrey sat on the iron Throne. Hayley and Renly stood behind him and Cersei scowled back at her. 

''I command the council to make all necessary arrangement for my coronation' Joffrey demanded 'I wish to be crowned within the Fortnight. Odds of fealty from my loyal council.''

"Never." hayley murmured. 

"Whats that grandmother?" Joffrey sneered. 

"Robert is not dead, you can't be king, even if he does die." Hayley informed him. Cersei's eyes went wide. "Go on ned, show them."

''Ser barriston I believe no man here could have any question of your honor,' ned said he handed over the scroll to which he had wrote with Robert. Hayley wasnt sure why Robert wasnt healing but she kept giving him blood, it was keeping him alive. 

''It is King Roberts seal unbroken.' he announced stepping forward. 'Lord Eddard stark is here named protector of the realm,' he announced 'to rule as regent until the rightful heir comes of age.' Barristion said as cersei stood up

'May I see that letter ser Barristion?' Cersei requested sweetly but there was venom in her voice.

'Of course your Grace.' he walked up the steps delivering it to her before walking down. Sandor stared back at them, a dutiful guard to the king what a promotion he thought glumly.

'Protector of the realm?' She asked 'is this meant to be your shield lord stark?' she said ripping it up a piece of paper. She tore the pieces up throwing them to the ground as she held Hayley's eye contact.

''Those are the Kings words, the kings words!'' ser barristion declared.

''We have a new King now, Robert is dying, there is no saving him.' Cersei informed him 'lord Eddard when we last spoke you offered me some counsel allow me to return the courtesy... you are well, Hayley." Cersei sneered and hayley rose a brow in challenge. "Bend the knee my Lord. Bend to me and swear loyalty to my son and we shall allow you to live out the rest of your days at the great waste you call home. You can even bring your whore with you.'' She sniggered looking to Hayley. 

''Your son has no claim to the throne.' Ned declared. 

''LIAR!' Joffrey screamed out in outrage. He was already ready to be king. 

''You condemn yourself with your own mouth lord stark. Ser baristan seize him. This traitor-' cersei demanded.

''Ser Baristan is a good man do not harm him.' Ned said as his men stepped forward

'Do you think he stands alone?' Cersei questioned as her guard step forward as well.

'Kill him.' Joffrey shouted 'kill him and kill them all I command it!' Sandor like a good dog drew his blade stepping forward with the rest of the knights. But he couldnt kill Ned Stark, he knew how much Hayley liked him and Hayley was his friend. 

''Commander.'' Ned said calmly. ''take the queen and her children into custody. Take them back to their Royal Apartments and keep them there under guard.'

'Unbelievable,' cersei muttered.

"You are unbelievable." Hayley corrected. "We know and yet you still think you hold the power, we are trying to show you decency, something you clearly dont know at all." 

"You hold the power?" Cersei cackled back. 

''I want no bloodshed no bloodshed,' ned repeated, 'so tell your men to lay down their swords no one needs to die.' Cersei looked around but there was blood shed as a Lannister forces came forward.

Petyr moved forward but Hayley was next to him in a moment snapping his neck. She moved to Gregor next. Sudden death. Snap drop.  Snap drop. Sandor gaped back at her as the bodies dropped. 

'Sansa go to your room and bar the door

'Sansa go to your room and bar the door.' Septa Mordane instructed.

"What?'

"NOW.' Septa demanded as Sansa rushed down the hall. They grabbed her, she didn't put up a fight as they tossed her in a cell.

Arya watched in horror as Syrio was attack. He used his wooden sparing sword with elegance but he was no match for three knights and blades of steel. Arya wanted to help, she wanted to run, but all she could do was stare as Meryn Trant killed Syrio. They looked to Arya and she found her sanity and took off. 

Hayley looked to Cersei but she just smirked back at him and she knew that Cersei was after Neds kids right this moment too. Hayley took off, a snap of a guards neck as he struggled to hold Bran back. She pulled Bran closer. 

"Good thing Baristan was teaching you, you did great fending him off." Hayley offered. Bran sobbed into her. "It's okay, you are okay... come on lets find your siblings."  Jon started apologizing the moment he saw Hayley. 

"I'm sorry." Jon whispered as Hayley looked to Rickons empty room. "I went to get him but... I think the queen has him."
