-------------------------------
As for Edward, He was the Stormking with his many titles and conquered almost half of Essos. Even when Robert tried to pull some things under the Lannister's influence to get the part that Edward took from the crownlands, with only a small threat from Edward, Robert and his Lannister's wife stopped in their tracks.
Cersei, who still remembered what happened that day clearly in her head, wanted nothing more than eating Edward alive. Not only did Edward humiliate her husband, whom she loved at that time, father, and brother at that time, but he injured them as well and destroyed the Lannister's legacy. She always tried to hold to her Lannister motto and pay their debt, but she could not find any chance, especially after Edward destroyed her father's army, who tried to play tricks around his lands.
The only one that Robert was afraid of at that moment was Edward. That made him grow to love the power, and he loved his position as the king, although he did not work enough to keep that position. He only let the others take care of things for him.
Since Edward did not send a raven to Winterfell to inform them about his return, Ned Stark and the fellows did not know that he would come back that fast from the Wall since the distance should have taken him nearly one month and a half to go and return. Edward did that to fuck up with the Lannister and Robert since he did not see or humiliate them for more than a decade, and he missed that good time. He forgot that he had done something like that indirectly, though, by sending their army that tried to provoke Edward's lands as corpses.
When the watchmen on Winterfell's walls saw Edward's escort riding to the city from afar, they did not seem alarmed at all, even after seeing more than two hundred men closing in towards the castle. They did not act in a different way as if the coming group belonged were the Stark's men instead. Since they did not know of this serious problem and the fight between Edward and Robert, they acted as they always did when Edward and his men came to Winterfell. The leader had just sent a word to Lord Stark to let him know of Edward's arrival. The men in Winterfell were more familiar with Edward since they would see him every four years or so. That was why they allowed him and his men to enter the castle directly without even stopping him at the gate to ask Lord Stark for his opinion.
Edward knew where he should head first since he knew what should be happening at this time. He knew that he could find Tyrion Lannister and his nephew near the stables, so Edward decided to head there and slap Joffrey as well. Although Edward met Tyrion more than once before, when Tyrion visited Storm's Eye and treated Tyrion differently than the other Lannister, he did not try to recruit Tyrion to his side.
He knew Tyrion would always try to save his family if Edward took over Westeros, and Edward would never allow that. How could he leave any Lannister alive, except his 'niece.'.
In the stables, Joffrey, who saw his uncle sleeping with the pets and dogs, decided to use this chance to mock him after seeing him like that.
"Better looking than the bitches you used to, uncle." Said Joffrey with a mocking smile on his face.
"My mom has been looking for you. We ride for King's Landing today." Said Joffrey as he looked away from his uncle's eyes.
"Before we go, you will find Lord and Lady Stark and offer your sympathy." Said Tyrion as he wondered how this boy was related to any of his two parents. Joffrey was not like a Baratheon since he did not have the strength to support that claim, nor he had the brain like the Lannisters to proved that he was related to them.
"What could my sympathy do to them?" Said Joffrey as he looked at his uncle as if he was an idiot.
"None. But it is expected of you. Your absence has already been noted." Said Tyrion trying to explain to the idiot in front of him.
"The boy means nothing to me. I can't stand the wailing of women." Said Joffrey with an arrogant attitude as he looked at the hound behind him. But when he turned his head back to Tyrion, the latter slapped his face with his small hands.
"One word and I will hit you again." Said Tyrion as he threatened the boy by telling him that.
"I will tell my mother..." Wailed the young Joffrey, and Tyrion raised his hand to slap him again, but the one and only Stormking arrived at that moment and got down from his horse, getting the attention of everyone present. The hound put his hand on his sword for any unexpected danger.
When Edward got down from his horse, Everyone looked at him as if they were looking at a ghost. They got surprised since they did not expect the Stormking to arrive today. They did not expect to meet him in Winterfell since they tried to avoid that. The letter got sent to Winterfell after Edward left the place. Of course, the group heard that Edward visited Winterfell in the past month, but they did not expect him to come back this fast. The reason why the group did not want to stay in Winterfell for more than four days and making them want to leave was that they did not meet Edward. As for Tyrion, he decided to visit the Wall this time to see Edward since he wanted to have a talk with him.
"Oh, Tyrion. You are here and hitting my nephew at that." Said Edward as he came close to the two with a weird smile on his face.
"He was saying nonsense since he woke me up." Said Tyrion with a smile as he looked at Edward. In his eyes, Only Edward could be the true king in Westeros. Robert was only a drunk and fat man that did not fit to be on the throne. His nephew was a sadist bastard, while his father was too smart for his own good and got defeated by Edward multiple times already.
"I was not..." Said Joffrey, but before he could complete his words, he got hit again with a slap that was much harder. This time it was Edward who did that. You all could not imagine how Edward had waited to do that. He had always hated Joffrey's character from the show and wanted to hit him like that.
