Silver Stag

Journey To The Capital & Assassination Attempts

"Gods, this is country!" King Robert exclaimed after he had gotten done pissing on a tree. "I've half a mind to leave them all behind and keep going."

"I've half a mind to go with you." 

The group had stopped for rest and the King and his new Hand had taken this chance to indulge in some wine, mainly the King.

"What do you say, just you and me on the Kingsroad, swords at our sides, a couple of tavern wenches to warm our beds tonight." Robert suggested.

"You should have asked me 20 years ago." Now, he was devoted to Cat and his children.

"There were wars to fight, women to marry... We nevr had the chance to be young." 

"I recall a few chances."

"There was that one... Oh, what was her name? That common girl of yours? Becca? With the great big tіts you could bury your face in."

Of course leave it to Robert Baratheon to not remember every lady he had lain with.

"Bessie. She was one of yours." Eddard reminded him.

"Bessie! Thank the gods for Bessie and her tіts. Yours was... Aleena? No. You told me once. Meryl? Your bastard's mother?"

"Wylla."

"That's it. She must have been a rare wench to make Lord Eddard Stark forget his honor. You nevr told me what she looked like."

"Nor will I."

"We were at war. None of us knew if we were gonna go back home again. You're too hard on yourself. You alwys have been. I swear if I weren't your King, you'd have hit me already."

"The worst thing about your coronation... I'll nevr get to hit you again."

"Trust me, that's not the worst thing. There was a rider in the night."

He passed Lord Stark a piece of parchment.

"Daenerys Targaryen has wed some Dothraki horselord."

"What of it? Should we send her a wedding gift?"

"A knife perhaps, a good sharp one, and a bold man to wield it."

"She's little more than a child."

"Soon enough that child will spread her legs and start breeding."

"Tell me we're not speaking of this."

"Oh, it's unspeakable to you? What her father did to your family... That was unspeakable. What Rhaegar Targaryen did to your sister... the woman I loved. I'll kill every Targaryen I get my hands on."

"But you can't get your hands on this one, can you?"

"This Khal Drogo, it's said he has 100 000 men in his horde."

"Even a million Dothraki are no threat to the realm, as long as they remain on the other side of the Narrow Sea. They have no ships, Robert."

"There are still those in the Seven Kingdoms who call me Usurper. If the Targaryen boy crosses with a Dothraki horde at his back, the scum will join him."

"He will not cross. And if by chance he does, we'll throw him back into the sea."

"There's a war coming, Ned. I don't know when, I don't know who we'll be fighting, but it's coming."

~Journey To The Wall~

"Sit. You'll be fed. Untie them." Benjen ordered as their group had made about half the journey.

"Rapers. They were given a choice no doubt... Castration or the Wall. Most choose the knife. Not impressed by your new brothers? Lovely thing about the Watch... You discard your old family and get a whole new one." Tyrion quipped.
