love conquers all / a Joffrey Baratheon fanfic
Chapter 1: greatful men
Westeros, in the Middle Age
King Robert Bratheon is dead and the new king is his son Joffrey Baratheon. He rules at King's Landing, the capital of Westeros. He was promised to Sansa Stark but they split so Joffrey could marry Margaery Tyrell.
Joffrey and his mother Cersei Lannister were looking at patterns for Joffreys wardrobe.
Joffrey: Mother tell me, what do you think about Lady Margaery?
Cersei: She is very pretty and I am sure she will make a good queen.
Joffrey: Yes, I am impressed by her smartness and her beauty.
Joffrey toke a pattern, turned it in his hands and threw it on the ground.
Joffrey: I am bored mother, I will take a walk in the gardens.
Cersei: As you wish, your grace.
Joffrey walked through the castle and into the big park. He didn't really like walking but he kind of felt the urge not to waste time with ugly patterns. On his way to the fountain he met Lord Baelish, the master of coin and commonly known as "Littlefinger". Joffrey didn't want to know where this nickname came from.
Littlefinger: Your grace! Wait for me, please.
Joffrey turned his head. He wasn't interested in company, especially not in such a boring one.
Joffrey: What is the matter, Lord Baelish?
Littlefinger: I met Lady Margaery, your grace. She told me about how she went to that orphanage in King's Landing.
Joffrey: Yes, she did. But what is the matter?
Joffrey was obviously annoyed. He hated people who talk about uninteresting things and furthermore,do not get to the point.
Littlefinger: The matter is that I felt very lonely the last time and I decided to help a poor child and adopt it. However, if your garce isn't fine with my decision, I won't bother visiting the orphanage to choose one.
Joffrey did not expect that. He turned to Lord Baelish and blocked his way.
Joffrey: Adopt a child? You? Well, I did not expect this to happen.
Littlefinger:Understandable but I would like to know how you decide.
Joffrey: Well, what do I care? Do what you want but I warn you. Take care of this dirty thing or you both will have to look for a new home. By the way, which gender?
Joffrey had to grin. Lord Baelish and a child? That was like him and a higher power. Not possible. He turned around and headed towards the castle. He had enough of being outside for today.
Meanwhile,Littlefinger stared at the sun flowers. They were the prettiest in whole Westeros and sometimes they seemed to change colours.
Littlefinger: What do you mean with gender?
Joffrey (from afar): What child do you want to adopt? Boy or girl?
Littlefinger: I don't know, your grace. We will see...
Littlefinger turned his head and had to recognize that King Joffrey went inside already.
