NED'S CHAMBERS
Ned is lying in bed and dazedly awakes after having been unconscious, seeing Robert, Cersei, and Hanir standing at the foot of his bed.
Ned: Your pardon, your Grace. I would rise, but -
He tries to rise, but is clearly struggling to do so.
Cersei: Do you know what your wife has done?
Hanir: She did nothing he did not command.
Robert: [slightly impressed] Who'd have thought she had it in her?
Cersei: [harshly] By what right dare you lay hands on my blood?
Ned: [firmly] I am the King's Hand -
Cersei: You were the King's Hand - !
Hanir: We were trying to keep the peace.
Cersei: You shall now be held accountable - !
Robert: [annoyed] Oh, will both of you shut your mouths?!
Cersei and Hanir glare at each other.
Robert: Catelyn will release Tyrion, and you'll make your peace with Jaime.
Ned: He butchered my men!
Cersei: [maliciously] Lord Stark and Lord Gaston was returning drunk from a brothel when his men attacked Jaime.
Hanir: Shush woman!
Ned: Jaime has fled the city. Give me leave to bring him back to justice.
Cersei now glares at Robert.
Cersei: [angry] I took you for a king!
Robert: [threateningly] Hold your tongue....
Cersei: They attacked my brother and abducted the other. I should wear the armor, and you the gown.
Robert turns to Cersei and hits her in the face hard. Ned and Hanir looks shocked. Cersei looks up as a bruise forms on her face.
Cersei: I shall wear this like a badge of honor.
Robert: Wear it in silence or I'll honor you again.
Cersei glares then storms out of the room slamming the door. Elizabeth is outside as Cersei glares at her, Elizabeth curls her lips in a smirk before Cersei stomps away.
COURTYARD
Elizabeth loads an arrow into a bow and fires it hitting a target dead center in the middle, Hanir approaches her
Hanir: You're relaxing your arm. Good. Better chance at hitting the target
Elizabeth: I do not like Cersei but the King should not have laid a hand on her.
Hanir: I know, Elizabeth. Robert wants Cat to send the imp back to King's Landing. If she doesn't then it will be an act of war.
Elizabeth: What about Jaimie Lannister?
Hanir: Robert owes half a kingdom in debt to Tywin. He can't rule if we're at each others throats.
Elizabeth doesn't look happy but nods
Elizabeth: Are we returning to Winterfell?
Hanir: No Robert wants us to stay. You need to be prepared just in case
Elizabeth: I will.
He pats her on the shoulder and turns leaving her. She loads another arrow into her bow and takes aim, shooting it hitting the arrow from earlier right down the middle shattering it. She smirks blowing a strand of her hair out of her face.
