Favorite Ex / Ted Lasso out now!

Cersei stared back at Gendry. The trial was quickly ended and everyone ushered inside. Gendry stared back at them nervously. Joffrey waa demanding his head but sofia blocked joffreys path.

"They said you were dead. I wept For you. I grieved you." Cersei whimpered.  gendry was hyponotized by the woman in front of him.  "How are you here? They said you were dead." Cersei whispered unable to believe her eyes.

"Can someone please fill me in?" Joffrey demanded.

"My boy. My son."

"What?" He demanded. "This is an imposter. I want him killed-" cersei shoved joffrey aside. Sofia failed at hiding a laugh. Cersei didnt know how it could be possible. But here he was.

"Are you saying what I think you're saying?"

"All I remember of my mother is that she had blonde hair," gendry whispered. Cersei Certainly had blonde hair.

"Might i..." cersei whispered. Gendry didnt know what she wanted to do but he nodded hesitantly. She hugged him tightly breathing him in. It took him a moment to reciprocate her feelings. To wrap his arms around her and hug her too.

"Barristan, can you read something for me." Sofia questioned.

"Of course my lady." Barristan agreed, she held it out. "What..."

"I would need a formal seal from the hand but is this possible?" Sofia pondered.

"It is." barristan agreed. "He would need to be legitimized."

"I got that started too."

"Would the queen agree?" Barristan countered, they glanced back at Cersei clinging to gendry and smashing the life out of him.

"I think she might." Sofia agreed.

Gendry felt like a prince as he was adorned in the finest cloths. He didnt know anything about being king but he knew that Lord Stark wouldnt steer him wrong. Tywin took joffrey in and put him to work, Tywin sent him away to Harrenhal after a fortnight however not able to handle the childs unbelievable stupid mind.

Gendry took slow steps towards Cersei as the septon declared him Prince Gendry Baratheon heir to the iron throne.

"You will do well leading him." Sofia remarked as nessa rode on sandors back. She smiled back at them. "He has already agreed to letting you rule until you think he is ready."

"Protector of the realms and a good heir." Ned whispered. "I still cant believe it. I thought i was a dead man."

"I thought so too." Sofia admitted.

"Im glad you and tyanna stepped in when you did. I wouldn't have a head right now if you hadnt."

"I helped you manipulate joffrey. Least I could do was make sure you kept your head on your shoulders." She teased.

"Come. Lets celebrate." Ned suggested. Sofia followed him off but something didnt feel right.

"You are married." Sofia whispered his lips grazing Ned's. She hadnt seemed to care when she fucked him last moon but now she gained a conscious.

"I don't love her."

"You could anull your marriage." Sofia offered. "But I don't think you should." Ned stared back at her confused until he saw Nessa running through the courtyard.

"Sandor." He realized.

"I love him. I think I always have." Sofia admitted softly. "But we are still friends, I still love you, Ned." Sofia assured. "It doesn't really change anything if you think about it." Ned kissed her gently.

"Anything I can do to change your mind?"

"I don't think so." Sofia admitted. "if Tyanna had never kissed sandor I never would have really admitted it to myself." she added. "I was so jealous and I didn't know why. Now I see... I don't want to lose you Ned.'

"You can't lose me." Ned assured. "I'm protector of the realms, you are stuck with me."

"I have to tell Sandor."

"Go. He's one lucky man" Ned agreed.

"Don't fall for it," Sandor said as sofia approached. "She's a diabolical attention whore." Nessa pouted up at him. "I wasn't talking about you." He teased.

"Then who?"

"Sofia, what can I do for you?" Sandor questioned.

"Your days are free to spend exclusively with Nessa." Sofia noted.

"Aye." he agreed. "Glad that fucker is gone. Gendry seems a good kid. Spends most his time with stark."

"Yeah. Ned is a good role model for him." Sofia agreed. Sandor rolled his eyes. But Sofia took a step closer.  "Can I join in on this fun?"

"YES!" Nessa exclaimed grabbing her hand. Sandor smiled down at Sofia, she reached over grabbing his hand.

"Hey Sandor..."

"Aye?"

"I love you."

"I love you." He echoed easily.

"No," Sofia corrected getting on her tip toes. "I really love you." She clarified as she kissed him.
