Complete story — includes the ending
In King's Landing, Ned confronts Cersei, saying he knows Jaime fathered her children and will inform King Robert. Mortally wounded by a boar, Robert dictates his will and testament to Ned, naming him regent until Joffrey comes of age. Instead of "Joffrey", Ned writes "my rightful heir", and sends word to Stannis, Robert's brother, the legal heir to the throne. After Robert's death, Ned confronts Cersei and Joffrey in the throne room, where Baelish and the City Watch betray Ned and attack his men. At the Wall, Benjen Stark disappears during a foray north of the Wall. Jon and Sam are assigned as stewards, with Jon as Lord Commander Jeor Mormont's personal servant, with Sam believing Mormont intends to groom Jon for command. In Essos, King Robert's hired assassin is exposed by Ser Jorah before he can poison Daenerys. Drogo vows to conquer the Seven Kingdoms for his unborn son and starts marching towards Westeros.
