Nicoletta was sitting next to her father. On her beautiful face was painted sad smile, tears uncontrolly was rolling down her face. Robert laughed and placed hand on her cheek. "Do not freet my child. You're stronger than theme. My sweet, pure daughter." Doors from the room open, revealing Lord of Winterfell, Hand of the King. "Ned." King said, sounding relieved. "All of you, be gone. You stay Letti."

"My love..." Cersei looks touched by his order, but King only raise his hand and she obediently walks away. Eddard moved, limping to the bed. "I want you to write something and announce it before whole King's Landing people." He nods and take paper, ink and feather. "I Robert of house Baratheon, the First of his Name, King of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm, leaves Crown of Westeros in hands of my daughter Nicoletta of houses Baratheon and Lannister, the First of her name."

Robert looks at her daughter and then at his friend. "She looks like her. Beside eyes. Damn my eyes." Nicoletta laughed through her tears and wiped her cheeks. Eddard nods sadly and ghost of Lyanna comes into his mind. "Promise me, Ned." 

"I will die pretty soon. Make sure that my excuse of a wife won't try to take power away from Letti. She has to have the Crown." Robert coughs and moan. "Daddy please. You'll live. I can't do it without you." She's crying fully now with her head on his chest. "I belive in you, Nicoletta. Do whatever you think is vise. And keep Stark close. They're pretty damn hard to kill." He smiles at her and she nods with tears.


"I announce, as Hand of the King, that Robert of house Baratheon, the First of his Name, King of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm, has died at night. According to his last will, Nicoletta of houses Baratheon and Lannister, the First of her Name, will take the crown after him." Eddard finished and room stays silent. Standing before Iron Throne, Nicoletta knows it's not because they don't want her as a queen and ruler, they're paying respect to dead king. "In the name of the Andals and the Rhotnar and the First Men, I name you as Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lady of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm. Raise Queen Nicoletta!"
