Summary
After Robert Baratheon successfully overthrows the Targaryens, he faces the difficult decision of choosing a wife. He could marry Cersei Lannister, a woman whose narcissism could power a small city and whose rumored incestuous relationship with her brother Jaime is as public as her tendency to look down on everyone around her. Or, he could marry Naerys Targaryen, the sweet and darling sister of Rhaegar.
Despite his often-portrayed foolishness, Robert knows marrying Cersei would be a catastrophe. Not only is her ego as inflated as her reputation, but Tywin Lannister, with his unrelenting quest to take credit for the rebellion, would soon turn Robert’s victory into a tainted mess. No amount of gold is worth letting that family corrupt the Baratheon name.
But fate, in its typical cruel and twisted fashion, has other plans. Robert may hate the Targaryens with a passion, but it turns out he falls head over heels for Naerys at first sight. Because, of course, the universe had to throw a curveball.
So much for avoiding the Targaryens entirely.
