[b]Clash of Kings:
[/b]
So was it his father’s imprisonment or his father’s execution that made him go “Fuck this, King of the North, War Time!” at any rate? My memory is quite foggy on this matter. Either way I think as Ned sits in the dungeons for weeks on end while Joffrey speculates his fate tension could still lead to King Robb and his war, right? Assuming we make Petyr the one who framed Tyrion for the assassination then a lot of events would go as expected.

Direwolf Trial:[/b]

I think for the most part it makes sense that Sansa blabbed and her lies would still go pretty much to note. But we can assume the Hound was already hunting the Butcher’s Boy so even if Joffrey speaks up himself things are already done and I think Cersei would convince her husband that “Dire Wolves are Dangerous, the Beast has to be punished” so Lady might still perish due to that. Joffrey doesn’t have much control here even if he speaks up.
