This story takes place a year following Robert Baratheon making Ned the Hand of the King. Although a few things have changed. Bran is never pushed from the tower and never saw the twins in action. Which causes certain events to never happen. I.E. Catelyn never takes Tyrion prisoner. Ned doesn't trust Littlefinger when he reaches the Capital. How would things play out?

Summary: I am William of House Baratheon, First of his name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm. Others may claim themselves as Kings but I am the true King of this realm, let all pretenders fall before my sword.
