A herald's voice rang out. "All hail His Grace, Joffrey of the Houses Baratheon and Lannister, the First of his Name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, and Lord of the Seven Kingdoms. All hail his lady mother, Cersei of House Lannister, Queen Regent, Light of the West, and Protector of the Realm."
司儀的聲音響起：“恭迎安達爾人、洛伊拿人和先民的國王，七國統治者，拜拉席恩家族與蘭尼斯特家族的喬佛里一世陛下。恭迎陛下的母親大人，西境之光，全境守護者，攝政太后，蘭尼斯特家族的瑟曦陛下。”
Sir Barristan Selmy, resplendent in white plate, led them in. Sir Arys Oakheart escorted the queen, while Sir Boros Blount walked beside Joffrey, so six of the Kingsguard were now in the hall, all the White Swords save Jaime Lannister alone. Her prince, no, her king now! took the steps of the Iron Throne two at a time, while his mother was seated with the council. Joff wore plush black velvets slashed with crimson, a shimmering cloth-of-gold cape with a high collar, and on his head a golden crown crusted with rubies and black diamonds.
一身燦爛白甲的巴利斯坦·賽爾彌爵士帶領他們走進來，亞歷斯·奧克赫特爵士護送太后，柏洛斯·布勞恩爵士則走在喬佛里旁邊。眼下六名御林鐵衛都在大廳，眾白騎士齊聚一堂，只有詹姆·蘭尼斯特缺席。她的白馬王子——不對，是她的國王了！——三步并作兩步地爬上鐵王座的階梯，他的母后則和重臣們坐在一起。小喬身穿繡紅線的黑天鵝絨外衣，肩披閃閃發光的高領金縷披風，頭戴鑲嵌紅玉黑鉆石的黃金寶冠。
When Joffrey turned to look out over the hall, his eye caught Sansa's. He smiled, seated himself, and spoke. "It is a king's duty to punish the disloyal and reward those who are true. Grand Maester Pycelle, I command you to read my decrees."
喬佛里轉頭環顧大廳，與珊莎四目相交，他面露微笑，緩緩坐下，然后開口道：“懲治叛徒，獎勵忠臣，此乃國王職責所在。派席爾大學士，我命你宣讀我的判決。”
Pycelle pushed himself to his feet. He was clad in a magnificent robe of thick red velvet, with an ermine collar and shiny gold fastenings.
派席爾站起來，他衣著華麗，身穿厚重的紅天鵝絨長袍，貂皮衣領，亮金飾帶，衣袖低垂，上面滿是鍍金渦形裝飾。
