** In another instance, during the archery competition with Robb and Theon, Joffrey suffers another episode. Rodrik Cassel, who was supervising the entire competition, is one of the few to realize the truth about Joffrey. Rather than report it, Cassel offers to talk about it, and even when Joffrey states that he is fine, instead advises him to take an essence of nightshade to help him sleep.

* Chapter 68. Joffrey says farewell to his supposed father King Robert one last time. Robert yet again was gutted by a pig but this time not because of Cersei's poisoned wine. The two are able to have an earnest conversation about Joffrey's change in character, all the good work he is doing to lead Westeros into a better future, and how proud Robert is of Joffrey despite not putting in the work to raise him and how confident he is in him, Sansa, and all the others in leading the Seven Kingdoms well. Joffrey even works up the courage to tell Robert the truth about his illegitimacy, but Robert passes away before he can hear the rest. When Joffrey walks out to tell Ser Barristan the news, the old knight simply says, "Long Live the King."
* Chapter 74. With his trial with Daenerys looming, Joffrey has taken after Sansa and [[HonestyIsTheBestPolicy told Tyrion, Sandor, and Jon the truth about the Purple and the Cycle.]] His three friends have only grown more attached to him as a result and beg him to reconsider his insane plan to challenge Daenerys in Trial-By-Combat for the right to the Iron Throne, but Joffrey rebuffs them, insisting that he has to ensure that no one else suffers as a result of what he has done to Daenerys.

* Chapter 67. Joffrey and Sansa host a massive community banquet with many of the Capital's nobles and smallfolk Blackworks employees attending. Several of the smallfolk praise and commend the crown prince and his betrothed for opening so many opportunities for better work, more income, better living conditions, and in general making it seem as though even the lowest of people in the realm matter. One old baker in particular who survived the Sack of King's Landing during Robert's Rebellion says that he doesn't follow Joffrey and Sansa for the promise of coin or social status, but because they've given him something infinitely more valuable... hope. Joffrey capitalizes on this sentiment by giving a grand speech on how he wishes for all people, high and lowborn, to put aside their differences and help him lead Westeros into a golden age of unity, prosperity, and peace.
** Ser Loras also personally thanks Joffrey for saving him from being killed by an enraged Gregor Clegane during the tourney. Renly is also thankful to his nephew despite being suspicious of his sudden change in personality.

* Chapter 65, Hearth. Knowing it's the last loop, Sansa talks to her parents, showing them what's to come and confiding on them about the lives she's lived and the role she and Joffrey play into the battle for every living soul in Planetos. Terrified as she is when Sansa displays sorcery, Catelyn holds to her and comforts her until she stabilizes. Ned and Cat are shown that the future King knows of the danger and has begun preparations for the darkness ahead, giving them hope that the horror of the White Walkers and the Long Night can be defeated.

* Robert's conversation with Ned where they talk about their children and the special bond they seem to have. Robert is clearly proud of the man that Joffrey has become as he tells Ned a story of the Royal Guardsmen he found training with him, smiling the whole time, and he tells Ned that the bond between their Houses was always meant to be. In the end, he gives a toast to Joffrey and Sansa, describing himself as just feeling ''good'' in the midst of all his apathy.
--> '''Robert''': For our children, may they prosper beyond our shadows and our regrets.

* Chapter 62. The Summer Isles chapters were a nice reprieve from the ominous Asshai training loop and scary and depressing mini arc where in Joffrey damages the Purple and sends him and Sansa to the middle of the canon timeline. Joffrey and Sansa go to the Summer Isles to get some much needed time and relax, reconnect, and consider their moves for the future. They have some good times together, make new friends, and even meet Joffrey's long lost great-uncle Gerion and his native family, but the highlight was most definitely the end of Chapter 62, wherein Joffrey takes Sansa on a boat ride on the Summer Sea for a night of thrills, marveling at dolphins and tropical birds, and lovemaking. Its a hopelessly romantic and heartening scene that serves as the perfect transition for what looks to be the last loop of the story.

* Chapter 59. Joff's reaction to the canon incident in which a peasant (implied to be Pocket, who served in the Royal Legion in the Blackworks loop) tossed some dung at him. Joff simply talks to him and hears him out, gives him a small coin and promises to arrange for the distribution of some of the Red Keep's stores (guilting the High Septon so the Great Sept does likewise), walking away having gained some measure of respect from the smallfolk.

* Joffrey selected a group of minor and neglected noblemen (and bastard) to become Officers of his newly created Royal Guardsmen. He took a group of men who would otherwise be forgotten and dismissed in their society and saw something great in them. Taking a leaf from Sansa (who gave him the idea), he imbibed them with a purpose, to become something greater than a knight, someone who can lead and destroy armies and become a paragon of justice. And not just the nobility as well, Joffrey also managed to do the same of the Small Folk and finally broke the barriers that denied them upwards mobility and created something he had learned in the Yi-Ti Arc.

It ends with the TearJerker of Robert passing away, although utterly content that his son is more than capable of handling the task of ruling.
