Standing up and pushing back his chair Octavian frowned. Now that he came to think of it his other new 'uncle' Stannis was an even grimmer version of Pullo's stoic, stonewall Catonian commanding officer and erstwhile friend Lucius Vorenus.

Honestly, having Robert Baratheon as King of Westeros was akin to having Titus Pullo as a Consul of Rome, Octavian thought to himself with a chuckle. Finding himself a Prince and heir to the throne was nice enough, and when he came to rule he would surely do better than his new 'father' he knew. Octavian yawned and leaned back in his chair further to stretch. Tyrion had in fact been more than a touch surprised at his 'nephew' politely asking his advice the first time and had then been extremely shocked that the boy actually had borrowed the two suggested books from the Stark library to read them. 'I must ask the dwarf to recommend some more books' Octavian decided, having already worked out that while the rest of his new 'family' were blessed with good looks and athleticism the most diminutive member had apparently gotten most of the brains. True the prose sorely lacked something, the author was certainly no Uncle Gaius, but at least it wasn't simply dry facts mixed with obvious propaganda. The Lives of Four Kings gave an insight into the politics and society of this new world that Octavian had been sorely lacking, and it wasn't as hard going as The History of the Greater and Lesser Houses had been the previous day. Placing a bookmark in the weighty tome Octavian closed it and read the title again. 'Another world, another life and I still end up with a mother that won't let me read in peace' he grumbled to himself, leaning back in his chair. 'See that you do' Cersei told him, turning around and heading out of the door of the room he had been given for the duration of their stay by their hosts.

Cersei clearly liked to put herself on a pedestal even though in Octavian's estimation her drunken spouse obviously preferred bending whores over them. 'I'll finish this page and prepare immediately' he promised, biting back the comment that if anything her own husband was more of a boorish oaf than Ned Stark. 'Is it that time already?' Octavian responded in surprise, the book must be even more engrossing than he thought if he had been reading most of the afternoon. 'Your father expects you to make a good impression on these Northern Oafs' she continued, 'Although I'm sure simply spitting on the floor and taking too much strong drink would suffice' she said, sneering at the backward and unrefined House that controlled the largest, but nevertheless also the poorest, of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.

'You know full well that you need to wash and dress for tonight's banquet' she reminded the boy. 'Is there something wrong?' he queried.Д¬ersei gave him a look of reproach. Mother' Octavian replied eventually, trying not to sound too aggrieved at the intrusion as he reluctantly looked up from the page he was on. 'Joffrey I'm talking to you!' a woman's voice interrupted his reading, it taking a second for Octavian to realise who it belonged to.
