"Are you sure about this old sport? You know her secret and she is going to come after you. She can't not. You are a threat to her now." Jae reminded him.
"I have to hope she loves her children like she says she does." Ned remarked.
"Then I'm with you. 100%." Jae assured him. "As long as you are sure." Ned hesitated.
"I'm sure."
"Then lets bring a bitch down." Jae agreed.
"Ohh," ned declared. "You know thats a bad word right?" Ned mused.
"I'm glad you find it the right time for jokes." Jae agreed. "Come on, lets get her off the throne before Joffrey is coronated."
"What if this doesnt work?" Ned countered.
"What if it does?"
"What if you get thrown into a cell too?" Ned corrected. "Where is Arya?"
"With Syrio." Jae answered.
"And sansa?"
"At lessons, with septa mordane." Jae answered and Ned stared back at him. "I'm a warrior Ned, not just a babysitter."
"I know you like spending time with Sansa." Ned corrected.
"Shes a sweet girl. Come on let me-"
"Help me by making sure Cersei doesnt know you know. Remain ignorant and she wont fear you."

'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 his cane clicking on the ground his leg still throbbing but he had a mission. Joffrey sat on the iron Throne. He stood by his decision to keep Jae out of it. He spent too many years of his life fighting, he didnt need to be in here when the swords came out.
''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.''
'Ser Bariston 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 before he died
'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.' Bariston said as cersei stood up
'May I see that letter ser Bariston?' 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.
"Sansa?" Jae called out but they werent in the study, where would they be? At least he knew Arya would be safe with Syrio but Sansa wasnt a fighter, Mordane either.
'Protector of the realm?' Cersei 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.
'Those are the Kings words, the kings words!' ser Bariston declared.
'We have a new King now' she informed him 'lord Eddard when we last spoke you offered me some counsel allow me to return the courtesy... bend the knee my Lord. Bend 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.''
''Your son has no claim to the throne.' Ned said
'LIAR!' Joffrey screamed
'You condemn yourself with your own mouth lord stark. Ser Bariston seize him. This traitor-' cersei demanded.
'Sir Bariston 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!''
'Sansa go to your room and bar the door.' Septa Mordane instructed.
"What?'' Sansa corrected.
"NOW.' Septa demanded as Sansa rushed down the hall. They grabbed Mordane, she didn't put up a fight as they tossed her in a cell. Sansa ran right into Jae.
"Whats going on?" Sansa demanded.
"Come on," jae whispered leading her back to his chambers.
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.
'Commander.' Ned said 'take the queen and her children into custody. Take them back to their Royal Apartments and keep them there under guard.'
'Unbelievable,' cersei muttered.
'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 wrapped blade around Ned's neck.
''I did warn you not to trust me.'' Petyr whispered in his ear.
"Jae I'm scared." Sansa whispered hugging him. "Whats going on?"
"Your father is a brave man." Jae answered. "But I think he failed."
