Thread: A Harem of Problems (RoleplayMaster x Forbidden Fruit)

RE A Harem of Problems RoleplayMaster x Awesomist Joffrey wasn't a particularly benevolent king nor was he a lovable person. His sadistic behavior and condescending personality repulsed people around him. His grandfather Tywin had tried to mend his ways repeatedly in the past but alas, There is no cure for being a cunt as Bronn said. It was only natural that one of Joffrey's many enemies would try and assassinate the youthful monarch, and with little luck they could succeed. It was still a national shock that the tragedy would coincide with his royal betrothal. For in plain view of a large audience and in the presence of a full squad of guards, the young groom died from a poisoned drink in his goblet. A woman's weapon, poison is. This is why Sansa Stark is now imprisoned alongside her husband Tyrion under accusations of orchestrating the heinous deed. The next in line for royal succession was none other than Joffrey's younger brother, Tommen Baratheon. The teenage prince had been mostly idle in the political scene. The people had no clear image of his traits and talents, and wagered he wouldn't be different than his two reckless predecessors. The officials in court, however, had an opinion that Tommen's young age and curiosity presented him as a gullible individual. A courtesan could dig her fangs deep in his skull and wear him like a ring. Many of the women in court, and even some in the far corners of the land, considered taking advantage of this perceived impression regarding the crown prince. Cersei Lannister See more Cersei Lannister, Tommen's mother, knew this too well. She was conscious of the fact that many now turn to the unclaimed position of queen. In this dire moment though, Cersei's mind was occupied with punishing her brother Tyrion, the evident murderer in her view, for killing her precious son. She was busy preparing for the mourning ceremony to be held the next morning, and also in organizing for Tyrion's eventful trial. She already had many plans in mind to implicate him. Pulling strings and preparing fake testimonies wasn't a particularly difficult task for the cunning queen. It gave her pleasure, even, to finally put that small goblin head on a spike. Margaery Tyrell See more Another person that has taken a blow when Joffrey collapsed on the floor was his wife-to-be, Lady Margaery of house Tyrell. It was like history was repeating itself. Just like her first husband Renly Baratheon, Joffrey died without consummating their marriage. Despite her unearthly beauty, she was a virgin who was widowed twice in the past few years. She had never liked Joffrey that much anyways, but he posed as a pedestal for her to step on and achieve royal status. Now a new ruler was in place, one with different a personality and motivations. She has to take a new approach in order to charm him. The same bitch of a guardian persisted, though. Indeed, a battle between Margaery and Cersei was due to ensue anytime now. My king, I came to offer my deepest condolences Margaery said as she bowed before Tommen. Her eyes dove deep inside his while she smiled warmly. Her words were sincere, and her body language elegantly combined genuine care and direct friendliness. She attempted to make a good first impression, one that makes her seem like a trusty companion and beautiful companion. It was a shock to us all. Joffrey was a good man
