Arabella walked into the Throne room, where her father was getting ready to go hunting. Barristan Selmy, Renly and Lancel Lannister were all there with him. "Leave us alone" Robert said as he saw his daughter approaching him.
"Heard a boar is near and already leaving?" she asked with a hint of smile. Arabella was afraid to be left alone.
"We'll feast of it perfectly" he laughed drinking his wine.
"Then, perhaps you should be sober if you want to catch it" she took the goblet away. Robert would've gotten very angry if someone took his goblet. Arabella was the only expection. "Good luck, father" she smiled weakly. "Come back safe"
Robert kissed her cheek. "Alright, let's go and kill some boar!" he announced cheerfully and left with others.
Arabella saw Myrcella and Tommen walking in with their nans and guards. "Will father be okay?" the girl asked. Arabella hugged them and nodded.
"He is strong. No one beats him" she told them doubting herself. Robert used to be strong until drinking became his weakness. Her thoughts were interrupted by Ned, Varys, Maester Pycelle and Littlefinger coming in.
Varys and Baelish bowed down a little and went to sit. Maester Pycelle didn't even look her way making her roll her eyes. "What is going on?" she asked Ned who had stopped next to her.
"Just some kingdom bussiness" he nodded glancing at the younger kids under Arabella's back.
"Take them to play in gardens" she ordered the nans. They took the kids and left. "Is your leg getting better?"
"Yes, Princess" they started walking towards the Throne.
"Go and sit. It is not comfortable there, but make these three pricks jealous" she chuckled. He did too and then their ways separated.
She stayed and listened to what they were talking to. Appearently, Gregor Clegane attacked a village killing a lot of people and burning the entire village. "Maester Pycelle, who Ser Gregor Clegane belongs to?" Ned asked.
"My grandfather. Tywin Lannister" Arabella was quicker to answer. Ned looked at her. "But it does not mean he is going to get away from what he did" she walked down to two poor men. "We will bring him to justice. And I will send twenty men to rebuild your village. Best builders in Vesteros"she smiled.
"Thank you, your Grace" they both kneeled.
"Princess is not a queen yet" Littlefinger commented with his half smirk causing Arabella to glance at him.
Arabella looked back at the two confused men and showed them to stand up. "I will send men to find Clegane" Ned nodded.
"Lord Stark, may I remind you that a King needs to hear about it. We cannot capture the man" Pycelle began.
Arabella interrupted strickly. "Lord Eddard commands here now. He is basically the King's word. And to dissaprove to Princess?" she asked. Pycelle became quiet.
The meeting ended soon after. "Only if your father would've seen it. You were a true Queen back there" Ned said as they walked out. "I talked with Cersei a few hours ago"
"And?" she pressed curiously.
"I told her to take her children and leave, because Robert will know and end her life" he answered sadly.
Arabella stopped and sighed. "And she didn't listen, did she?"
"I am afraid no, Princess. She said she would better kill a stag than let him know the thruth--" he trailed off as they both finally realised what she meant.
"That was a very wrong move of us" Arabella whispered shocked and terrified. "I know those words. It was in my bedtale when I was a little. The stag was my father and she was a lion" she said and Ned's eyes widened. "I am afraid something bad will happen to my Father..."
