AUTHOR NOTES: Sorry it has been a while since I posted…I got drawn into Justice League Fanfiction that I am working on at the same time as this

THE NEW KING ROBERT

He named his son Prince Steffon Baratheon after his father. Unlike Joffrey. Myrcella, and Tommen, Steffon is black of hair and blue of eyes. A loud baby when he wants to be fed or changed. He only wants to be held by his mother or father. Steffon will allow Myrcella and Tommen to hold him. When Joffrey holds him he cries loudly.

"You didn't take this much interest in your other children when they were born." Cersei says sitting in the chair breastfeeding Steffon.

"I was a young foolish King…I am older now…Hopefully a little wiser." She grunts and when she is done Cersei hands the baby to Robert. Soon he falls asleep and is laid down in the bed. Robert starts attending more small council meetings. "When my son turns one I want to hold a tourney…"

"Well if we are frugal and save the gold that comes in from taxes…Then we can afford it." Jon Arryn says.

"Good…Now I have decided to name Tommen Crown Prince in Joffrey's place." Before they can express their objections, Robert explains why. He tells Joffrey in private and announces it at court. Cersei is not pleased with his decision and tries to get him to change his mind to no avail.

JOFFREY

"I am the eldest! I should follow him on the Iron Throne! Not that simpy crying cat loving weakling for a brother!" Joffrey yells throwing his things across his room.

"Joffrey!" Cersei yells standing in the doorway. He runs into her arms crying. "You want the Iron Throne back prove your father wrong. Train every day, go hunting and do things he likes."

Joffrey gets up early the next day eats and goes to the training yard. "Joffrey! What brings you out here this early?" Robert asks coming into the training yard.

"I will be old enough to enter the Tourney you are planning for next year…I will train and win it." He sneers when his father doesn't say anything to his proclamation. When his father goes hunting Joffrey asks to go. Soon he starts training to joust and tries to be nicer to the servants. As time passes Joffrey's skills improve greatly.

Two months before the Tourney Joffrey is given a Squire. "My Lords and Ladies! Citizens of the Realm…Welcome to the name day tourney of Prince Steffon Baratheon!"

Joffrey rides at the head of the parade beside his Uncle Lord Jaime Lannister. All the great Houses are present including Robb Stark and his wife Lady Talisa. The other Stark children are present as well, along with Theon Greyjoy.

THE KNIGHT OF THE LAUGHING TREE

Aegon took on his mother's moniker from when she rode in the Tourney at Harrenhal. He is entered the Melee, the archery, horse racing, and joust. Prince Joffrey is entered the Melee and Joust. The Horse race is first and Aegon wins it. The next day is the archery contest. Aegon's greatest competition is Theon, Dickon Tarly, Ser Mooney, and Harmon Velaryon. He wins the archery as well and then it is the melee. There are one on one matches and then the winners will fight in a free for all.

The men of the free for all are Prince Joffrey, Lord Jaime, Thoros of Myr, Lord Randyl Tarly, Dickon Tarly, Sandor Clegane, Ser Orys Oakheart, the Knight of the Laughing Tree, Lord Jason Mallister, Ser Brynden the Blackfish Tully, Ser Lyle Crakehall, Lord Yohn Royce, The Knight of Sapphires, Ser Loras Tyrell, Garlan Tyrell, Lyn Cobray, and Ser Willard Frey of the Twins.

"Begin!" The herald yells.

Weapons clash all over the arena, Ser Orys faces off against Lyn Cobray and is separated from Joffrey who is attacked by Willard Frey. Joffrey manages to disarm Willard who yields. Then Joffrey finds himself facing Dickon Tarly who forces Joffrey to yield in three moves. Dickon is beaten by the Knight of Sapphires, who in turn is forced to yield by the Knight of the Laughing Tree.

Lyn Cobray dismantles Sandor Clegane, Thoros of Myr, Randyl Tarly gives him a good fight, but in the end Lord Tarly yields. When Aegon looks around the arena all that is left is Lord Jaime Lannister, Lyn Cobray, The Blackfish Ser Loras, and Lord Yohn Royce. Aegon points his sword at Lyn Cobray who nods and the two swordsmen start walking towards one another. As the two men fight Lord Jaime takes out the Blackfish easily enough and faces off against Ser Loras who bested Yohn Royce.

Lyn Cobray earned his reputation, his technical skills are extraordinary, but Aegon is faster and uses that to his advantage. He manages to strike Cobray on the knee, arm, and sword hand. Cobray yields. Aegon could not rest as Jaime is waiting for him and had bested Ser Loras a short while ago. The two men nod and tap swords. "Hold nothing back Lord Jaime."

He smiles from beneath his helm, "I have no intention of holding back my King." The people cheer as the two, start fighting. Their blades move so fast it is hard to keep up with their movements. They lock swords, Jaime is the stronger and shoves Aegon to the ground. Before Jaime can take advantage Aegon kicks at his knee, then his foot missing both times. As Jaime swings his sword down, Aegon raises his other foot and kicks the sword from his hand.

Jaime goes for his sword, but Aegon strikes on the back of his leg and down he goes. "Yield my Lord!"

Cersei stands up, "I yield." The people clap as the Knight of the Laughing Tree helps Jaime up. That night a feast is held and Aegon attends as Jon Stark. Lady Margaery and her family are at the tourney and they dance at the feast.

The Joust is held the next day and the first match is between Ser Loras Tyrell and Ser Lyonel Lannister and unhorses him in one lance. Ten matches later they break for midday meal and then Aegon rides against Lord Berric Dondarian. After five lances to three Aegon unseats him. The first round done, the second round of matches start the next day.

To everyone's surprise Prince Joffrey makes it to the third round, but is unseated in two lances by the Knight of the Laughing Tree. The final match comes down to Lord Jaime Lannister who beat Lord Randyl Tarly. Aegon had beaten Ser Loras Tyrell. "I give you the winner of the Mounted Joust, the melee, archery, and Horse Race…The Knight of the Laughing Tree Lord Jon Stark." The herald announces. Aegon crowns Lady Margaery the Queen of Beauty at the Tourney.

JOFFREY

He throws his stuff around the tent, "Get Out!" He yells at his Squire.

"You did well Joffrey."

He looks at Tommen, "Shut up! You little shit! That a little pussy like you should be Crown Prince."

"Come my Prince…Your brother is not in the mood for company." Ser Preston Greenfield says.

As they turn to leave Joffrey snatches up the dagger and throws it into Greenfield's back. The dagger is made of Valyrian steel so it goes through his armor. Tommen screams and runs away leaving Joffrey staring dumfounded.

Joffrey is bought before King Robert. They are alone and he has his sword belt in hand. "I should have done this long ago!" He beats Joffrey until he cannot stand.

ROBERT

He sits in his tent alone drinking. Cersei enters, "I want to be alone woman!"

"Joffrey was just trying to impress you!"

"Are you really going to defend his actions woman?"

"He is your son!" She kneels down in front of him, "What do you intend to do?"

"I am sending him to the Maesters…Maybe they can help him."

She stands up, "Can I see my son, before you send him away?" He waves her off and she leaves. After the tourney Robert decides to spend more time with Tommen. He has him train with him in the yard and begin working on his jousting. Listen to me son!" He says taking a firm voice with him. "I know your love of cats, but you are growing into a man...I have named you crown Prince and if you are to be King after me you must be strong and confident..."

"Yes sir!"

"Now you will also start training to use the bow and spear. Then you will go hunting with me."

"Yes father."

"When the time comes you will Marry Lord Stark's daughter Arya."
