(Authors note) Just wanted to let everyone know that I have cleared a few typos that I found. Hope you enjoy the series.
Bronn entered the Red Keep of King's Landing. He approached the iron throne to face King Joffrey who had summoned him.
"Well I'm here." Bronn said, as he looked a Joffrey and put his arms to his sides.
"How dare you address me like that!" Joffrey said.
"How should I address you then?" Bronn asked, acting like he was confused.
"When you approach the King you bow down and say hail Joffrey ruler of the seven kingdoms." Joffrey answered. "You should know that you little worm."
"I thought most of them were in rebellion." Bronn replied.
"It doesn't matter if they are or not!" Joffrey snapped back. "I am still the rightful ruler of the seven kingdoms whether there in rebellion or not! Now leave the throne room and come back and address me properly!" Bronn walked out of the throne room and came back a few seconds later.
"Hail Joffrey." Bronn said, as he bowed. "Ruler of the seven kingdoms, except the ones from the North who Robb Stark is now king of." At this point Bronn was just saying things to amuse himself.
"NO! NOO! NOOO!" Joffrey screamed, as he got up from his throne. "Robb Stark is not the king of anything!"
"Well don't the northern people say he's the king of the north?" Bronn asked.
"It does not matter what the northern people say!" Joffrey yelled back. Joffrey's face was beginning to turn red with anger. "Robb Stark is nothing more than a traitor, and he will be executed one of these days! Now leave, and come back and address me the right way or else!" Bronn walked to the end of the throne room . As he was walking back he was thinking about how to address the king this time. When he reached Joffrey he said.
"Hail Joffrey king and ruler of seven rebellious kingdoms." Joffrey was boiling at this point. He clinched his fists and said in an enraged but slow voice.
"What da hell is wrong with you? Are you so stupid that you cannot even address a king properly?"
"The kingdoms are in rebellion aren't they?" Bronn asked, as he crossed his arms casually. At this point Joffrey had, had enough of the situation, and just sat back down and looked at Bronn angrily. "So dear king." Bronn continued. "What is this issue you wanted to see me about."
"You know exactly why you are here." Joffrey replied. "It's time to pay your debts back."
"Are you talking about the five billion gold dragons I borrowed from you last month?"
"Yes." Joffrey replied. "We agreed that you would pay back the five billion gold dragons at the end of the month, plus interest."
"How much is the interest?" Bronn asked. Joffrey motioned for Lancel Lannister to come forward. Lancel walked next to Joffrey and opened a scroll.
"The agreement was King Joffrey would lend Bronn five billion gold dragon on the condition that he pays back the money within a month along with five billion gold dragons in interest." After his reading Lancel bowed to Joffrey and walked back behind the iron throne.
"And what if I don't?" Bronn asked.
"If you don't." Joffrey answered, with a sinister look on his face. "I will have you executed and take everything you own."
"That does seem like good motivation to pay it back." Bronn replied. "But what if I haven't got it at the moment?"
"What did you say!?" Joffrey asked enraged.
"Sorry, I spend the golden dragons you lend me on a new castle" Bronn replied. "This is the first time I borrowed money and I did not know the rules."
"In that case." Joffrey said. "You had better come up with the ten billion gold dragons by the end of the day or I'll have your head!"
"If I may ask." Bronn continued. "How did you get five billion golden dragons so quickly? I thought King's Landing was almost bankrupted."
"Well umm." Joffrey replied a little nervous. "I borrowed it."
"Well how did you pay it back?" Bronn asked.
"I haven't yet." Joffrey answered back. "I will pay the bank back once I get the money from you. Now give me my gold dragons now or I'll have my guards kill you on the spot!"
"So, from what I understand." Bronn replied, in a somewhat serous voice. "People who do not pay their debts gets executed."
"Yes." Joffrey said, and motioned for his guards to execute Bronn. The seven King's Guards pulled out their swords and started to surround Bronn. Bronn pulled out his dagger. Joffrey smiled at what was about to happen.
"Any last words thief?" Meryn Trant said, as he readied his sword to swing.
"I just want to remind you." Bronn replied. "That after you kill me for my crime, you have to kill the king for his."
"How dare you threaten the king!" Meryn Trant shouted.
"I'm not." Bronn continued calmly, as he put his dagger away. "The king told me himself people that do not pay their debts get executed. Does that not apply to everyone?"
"Yes." Lancel said. "Once a law is pasted even th…."
"Shut up!" Joffrey screamed cutting off Lancel. Joffrey was getting nervous again at this point, he knew Bronn was right. Joffrey told the King's Guards to return to their posts. Before Joffrey could think of what to do next. The doors of the Red Keep opened and Tyrion Lannister walked in and approached Bronn.
"I heard the king had summoned you." He said as he shook Bronn's hand, "and I wanted to see what type of trouble you got yourself into."
"Were actually in quite a dilemma here." Bronn replied. "I borrowed five billion golden dragons from Joffrey…"
"You did what!" Tyrion cut in. "What are you going to do with all that money? and more importantly." He continued, as he turned to Joffrey. "Where did you get five billion golden dragons!? Last I checked the kingdom barley had ten million." Bronn answered before Joffrey could.
"That's just the thing he borrowed it and has not paid it back, but he says I need to pay my debt back." Tyrion and Joffrey exchanged angry stares.
"A Lannister always pays his debts." Tyrion said to Joffrey. "You cannot expect other people to pay their debts when you, the king refuse to pay your own."
"The king does what he likes!" Joffrey yelled back.
"Well hear is another question." Tyrion replied. "What in the world possessed you to borrow five billion golden dragons just to lend them to someone? I highly doubt you did it out the kindness of your heart."
"I thought I would lend it to Bronn, and charge him more interest than the bank and make three to four billion golden dragons." Joffrey answered. "Now force him to pay!" When Tyrion heard this he just shook his head.
"Common Bronn." He said. "No need to pay your debts when the king will not pay his own." Bronn and Tyrion started to walk out of the room.
"Where are you going!?" Joffrey screamed standing up. "That man owns me money!"
"This is the example you're sending. People do not need to pay their debts." Tyrion shouted from across the room, as the doors to the Red Keep closed behind him. Joffrey screamed in a rage for a few seconds and sat back down. He boiled for a few minutes then called for Lancel Lannister. When he arrived a few seconds later Joffrey said.
"Petyr Baelish is a magician with money. Find him and tell him we need seven billion golden dragons to pay the bank."
