[bastardly_king]

A prudent choice, Mun. I am the only rightful king in your headspace. You'd be wise to remember it.

I don't think anyone can be a king in a mun's head space.

[Joffery's just being delusional isn't he?]

[hart_or_hand]

Kid, if you think that name indicates you're really a king, you're pretty uneducated. A bastard can't be a rightful king, especially if he has no blood relation to the previous king. It's actually an accusation of treason.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

You're not a king at all.

[needsnoheadsman]

You've no right to call yourself a king.

[This is going to end well.]

[killtheboy]

You're no king.

[Jon is still of the opinion that Joffrey is a little shit, king or no king. He can't see this boy doing any good, that's for sure.]

[bastardly_king]

Did your mother never teach you how to read, peasant? It doesn't say bastard; it says bastardly. Often a king must be cruel, when his people forget themselves as you have.

[hart_or_hand]

First off, kid, I'm not your subject. Second, bastardly means illegitimate, not genuine, spurious, and fake. Look it up in a dictionary some time. Ergo, if you are a bastardly king, you are illegitimate and fake, in other words, a usurper. Apparently, your mother didn't give you a very good education.

[bastardly_king]

Of course I can. I am a king, regardless whose muse I am. There are numerous pretenders here, though, including a woman who fancies herself a king. I am the only one in the headspace who rightly bears the title.

[Joffrey listens stone-faced to Lindsey's rant, and remains silent until the man is clearly finished speaking.]

Ergo?

[bastardly_king]

[Finally a smile cracks through the boy king's otherwise dubious expression, and he breaks out in a fit of laughter.]

I confess, I did not expect ergo to come out of one such as you. You amuse me, fool.

[He then applauds the boorish fellow's correct use of educated language.]

Consider this a blessing. I am a gentle king, so I will forgive your wild tongue this time. Learn to govern it before it finds you under a headsman's axe

[theboywiththebook]

Um...okay. I'm just saying muns don't think like that.

[Besides Henry is unsure whether he finds his attitude kingly or not.]

[hart_or_hand]

[Of course he knows the proper use of ergo. He also knows the use of de facto, writ of certiorari, and habeas corpus. He is a lawyer, after all. He just smirks at the arrogant child.]

A headsman's axe? Is that supposed to scare me? You assume I've never died before.

Oh, there's another meaning of bastardly I didn't mention earlier. Worthless. Bastardly also means worthless and of no value.

[noble_by_blood]

[Will's going to lean against the wall laughing.] And your mun must just love letting you live in your delusions.

[willas_tyrell]

I would hope so, lest we have another war.

[Personally, he's inclined to agree with the Starks, but his father had already made the choice to ally with the Baratheons, so he'll have to play his part for now. He'd rather not be beheaded.]

[bastardly_king]

A war of kings is a war the realm will undoubtedly lose.

[bastardly_king]

Intriguing. And how do they think, in truth?

[theboywiththebook]

Some don't care what we think and we'll do whatever they want. Others are good and want to ask us where we'd like to go. In the end though they do what they want.

[bastardly_king]

How dare you speak to royalty in this way?! I am a KING! Do you understand that much, idiot? The gods themselves have granted me my authority. By mocking me thus, you spit on their holy faces!

Sorry for the late response!

[bastardly_king]

Oh? And why do you say that, boy?

[Her boyish appearance is enough to fool Joffrey even though he has met her in the past.]

[bastardly_king]

That's quite bold of you to say, you who have renounced your submission to the crown, naming yourself a king in my place.

[bastardly_king]

I remember you. You're Stark's bastard, aren't you? I doubt you would look half as handsome on a pike as your lord father did.

[bastardly_king]

Delusions? I am vaguely interested. Please, elaborate on what you mean by "delusions."

[bastardly_king]

Ah, indeed. For my part, though, I welcome the surprise an unexpected placement would bring. I am equal to any such challenge.

[theboywiththebook]

If you think so. But these games can be really bad. Just be careful.

[And if Henry knew how Joffrey really acted he probably wouldn't have even told him to be careful.]

[noble_by_blood]

Well for one, the fact you think you're a king.

You don't even look like you're old enough to shave let alone know anything about ruling a country. [Will, must you be an... never mind the mun's not going to finish that. I swear you get it from Robin]

[willas_tyrell]

Very wise of you.

[He's parroting something he's been told or read, Willas has little doubt.]

[killtheboy]

[Jon does his best to banish the unpleasant images the boy's words bring. He isn't entirely successful.]

And what about you? I've heard some interesting rumours. If those rumours happened to be true... you'd be a bastard too, and your claim to the Throne would be false. I wonder how pretty your head would look on a pike.

np!

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[She feels a flare of anger at that, that after all this he won't recognize her - but that's what she's meant to do, blend in. So she rolls with it.]

No king is so stupid.

[hart_or_hand]

Easy. As I said before, I'm not your subject. I never said your weren't a king. I merely pointed out that your account name indicates that you either aren't a rightful kind or aren't a good king. If you don't like that, perhaps you can convince your mun to change it. And correcting your inaccurate understanding of the account your mun made you is far from mocking you.
