Charlies fifteenth birthday was a upbeat affair. He had invited the common people into the courtyard of the red keep for a feast. Singers, dancers and jesters kept everyone entertained.

Security was lax, many of the guards had been drinking. The kings-gaurd were dispersed around the large royal table; and a large group of unvetted people had been allowed within a stones throw of the king. It was a rare opportunity for an ambush.

A horn sounded and suddenly a dozen men leaped out from the crowd brandishing concealed weapons. Nick reacted impossibly fast, drawing his sword with one hand and dragging Charlie out of his chair with the other.

Nick held him close as the attackers approached, blocking their blows with his armoured body. Slashing back with skilled sword work. Charlie looked to the side and saw several assassins going after tori. But two kings-gaurd had managed to get in front of her.

The bloodshed was quick and brutal. Thanks to the element of surprise two kings-gaurd were dead, two more wounded. However the king and queen were alive and unharmed.

Thanks to nick the assassination attempt had been foiled, when the realised this the assailants fled, dropping their weapons and disappearing into the crowd. But the guards managed to capture a couple of them.

Before the investigation into who paid them was finished harry Lannister was caught trying to flee. Charlie had him thrown into the black cells. Then he called the court to the throne room.

"Nickolas stark of the kings-gaurd step forward." charlie said. Nick went down on one knee before the iron throne.

"Rise. remove your helm." Charlie commanded, nick did so.  "Nickolas is a true  and dear friend. He is a moddle of decency, honour and bravery. and today he has saved my life.

To show the crowns gratitude I have decided to gift you the sword blackfire." Charlie declared holding up the blade. "To hold for your king and to defend him with."

"Your grace words cannot express my gratitude." Nick reverently took the valerian steel braudsword. It was the greatest weapon in the world. Forged in old valeria, agon the conqueror had weided it and then every king after him.

"It is I who am grateful for you." Charlie replied.
