~~Robert Baratheon~~


"blasted whores!" old man Baratheon coughed loudly.

Ned breathed in the air, but not as much to let Robert know he was enjoying it. Robert's unexpected anger towards the incompetent girls was nothing short of a travesty.

Ned concentrated on the delectable food: the leg of a chicken, cooked at the tight temperature, steamed vegetables and a pasty filled his plate.

Lancel Lannister, Robert's timid blonde squire and cousin to the Queen, handed Robert his plate which was twice amazing. Ned took a chance and asked, "Your Grace, may I acquire a piece of your Merechiken? The untouched parts?"

"what's wrong with yours?" asked Robert.

He wanted to say, "your hands were all over it," but instead he said, "I dropped mine."

Lancel rushed back to the king with urgent news, "Your Majesty, one of our Insiders says that...um...the Karrucci boy is at Phantomhive manor."

Robert banged his fists on the table, "damn it!"

Lancel brushed imaginary dirt from his red suit. When he wasn't serving the King wine he would be calming himself from becoming nervous.

Ned noticed all of Robert's servants and squires were well dressed. The sprayed gold was visibly seen in Lancel's hair. His red suit had been crafted from the highest quality of velvet.

The last time Ned wore this black suit was at Rahella Targaryen's funeral. Even now, the frilly cuffs and scarf were not his style.

"Your Grace, is this meal the only reason why you summoned me to the courtyard?" asked Ned.

"No," Robert leaned back in his seat, "as Hand of the King you are to carry out any task I request."

"Yes, I know that," said Ned.

Robert looked at him suspiciously, almost believing it not true, "then you won't have a problem performing this?"

"As your Hand, I am yours to command."

Robert was somewhat glad to hear that, but as the words sunk in he felt uneasy.

"Don't ever say that again." he said.

Ned apologized with a chuckle, "Sorry, but I am just displaying my loyalty."

"Display it in a different manner."

Lancel came running back to them, the sound of his expensive shoes hitting the cobble became louder with every nearing step.

"Your Grace! Ser Ghaster wants to know, will you proceed with Activation Purge?"

Robert shouted to the blonde boy, "I will relay my answer in a minute! Now leave me be!"

Lancel nervously stepped back and retreated inside the castle.

"what is Activation Purge?" asked Ned.

"see what I have to put up with?" Robert deeply sighs in contempt, "the Phantomhive boy is alive, along with the Cartwright bitch."

Ned felt a dark feeling wrap around him, "Phantomhive is alive?"

"Yes, and he'll be coming into Breeding season like all the other Crotonians do and now with the Karrucci boy at his side, they'll breed a whole country of babes. By that time they'll be a unionized hivemind."

"but boys cannot breed with eachother," said Ned as he tries to grasp the thought.

"Karrucci dragons and Crotonians are different," said Robert, "no matter the gender, they can conceive either way. The Phantomhive whore will breed, and then he will take what he believes is his throne," Robert stood from his seat, gazing outwardly at the tall oak tree, "Then we'll have an uprising. Targaryen, Lannister, Karrucci...they'll all want what the boys will have. Then the Cartwright girl will start breeding...pray to the Gods that she doesn't join them."

"where do I come in?" asked Ned.

"you...you...your part doesn't come yet. If one of my Cloaks cannot convince the Cartwright girl to join us, then you will be ordered to kill the Phantomhive whore."

Ned jolted from his seat, "what? He is just a boy!"

Robert shouted back at him, "You didn't have a problem with smashing Rahella's stomach and killing her child! Now you will perform this task as my Hand or I will find somebody whom won't hesitate."

Ned shook his head in disbelief and disgust.
