The throne room was a sea of jewels, furs, and bright
fabrics1. Lords and ladies filled the back of the hall and stood beneath the high windows, jostling like fishwives on a dock. The
denizens2 of Joffrey’s court had striven to outdo each other today. Jalabhar Xho was all in feathers, a plumage so fantastic and
extravagant3 that he seemed like to take flight. The High Septon’s crystal crown fired rainbows through the air every time he moved his head. At the council table, Queen Cersei
shimmered4 in a cloth-of-gold gown
slashed5 in burgundy
velvet6, while beside her Varys fussed and simpered in a lilac brocade. Moon Boy and Ser Dontos wore new suits of motley, clean as a spring morning. Even Lady Tanda and her daughters looked pretty in matching gowns of
turquoise7 silk and vair, and Lord Gyles was coughing into a square of
scarlet8 silk trimmed with golden lace. King Joffrey sat above them all, amongst the blades and
barbs9 of the Iron Throne. He was in
crimson10 samite, his black
mantle11 studded with
rubies12, on his head his heavy golden crown. Squirming through a press of
knights14,
squires16, and rich townfolk, Sansa reached the front of the gallery just as a blast of
trumpets17 announced the entry of Lord Tywin Lannister. He rode his warhorse down the length of the hall and dismounted before the Iron Throne. Sansa had never seen such armor; all
burnished18 red steel, inlaid with golden scrollwork and ornamentation. His rondels were sunbursts, the roaring lion that crowned his helm had
ruby19 eyes, and a lioness on each shoulder fastened a cloth-of-gold cloak so long and heavy that it draped the hindquarters of his charger. Even the horse’s armor was
gilded20, and his bardings were
shimmering21 crimson silk emblazoned with the lion of Lannister. The Lord of Casterly Rock made such an impressive figure that it was a shock when his destrier dropped a load of dung right at the base of the throne. Joffrey had to step gingerly around it as he
descended22 to embrace his grandfather and proclaim him Savior of the City. Sansa covered her mouth to hide a nervous smile. Joff made a show of asking his grandfather to assume governance of the realm, and Lord Tywin solemnly accepted the responsibility, “until Your Grace does come of age.” Then squires removed his armor and Joff fastened the Hand’s chain of office around his neck. Lord Tywin took a seat at the council table beside the queen. After the destrier was led off and his
homage23 removed, Cersei nodded for the ceremonies to continue. A
fanfare24 of
brazen25 trumpets greeted each of the heroes as he stepped between the great oaken doors.
Heralds26 cried his name and deeds for all to hear, and the noble knights and highborn ladies cheered as lustily as cutthroats at a cockfight. Pride of place was given to
Mace27 Tyrell, the Lord of Highgarden, a once-powerful man gone to fat, yet still handsome. His sons followed him in; Ser Loras and his older brother Ser Garlan the
Gallant29. The three dressed alike, in green velvet trimmed with
sable30. The king descended the throne once more to greet them, a great honor. He fastened about the throat of each a chain of roses
wrought31 in soft yellow gold, from which hung a golden disc with the lion of Lannister picked out in rubies. “The roses support the lion, as the might of Highgarden supports the realm,” proclaimed Joffrey. “If there is any
boon32 you would ask of me, ask and it shall be yours.” And now it comes, thought Sansa. “Your Grace,” said Ser Loras, “I beg the honor of serving in your Kingsguard, to defend you against your enemies.” Joffrey drew the
Knight13 of Flowers to his feet and kissed him on his cheek. “Done, brother.” Lord Tyrell bowed his head. “There is no greater pleasure than to serve the King’s Grace. If I was deemed
worthy33 to join your royal council, you would find none more loyal or true.” Joff put a hand on Lord Tyrell’s shoulder and kissed him when he stood. “Your wish is granted.” Ser Garlan Tyrell, five years senior to Ser Loras, was a taller bearded version of his more famous younger brother. He was thicker about the chest and broader at the shoulders, and though his face was
comely34 enough, he lacked Ser Loras’s startling beauty. “Your Grace,” Garlan said when the king approached him, “I have a
maiden35 sister, Margaery, the delight of our House. She was
wed28 to Renly Baratheon, as you know, but Lord Renly went to war before the marriage could be
consummated36, so she
remains37 innocent. Margaery has heard tales of your wisdom, courage, and
chivalry38, and has come to love you from afar. I
beseech39 you to send for her, to take her hand in marriage, and to wed your House to mine for all time.” King Joffrey made a show of looking surprised. “Ser Garlan, your sister’s beauty is famed throughout the Seven Kingdoms, but I am promised to another. A king must keep his word.” Queen Cersei got to her feet in a
rustle40 of skirts. “Your Grace, in the
judgment41 of your small council, it would be neither proper nor wise for you to wed the daughter of a man beheaded for treason, a girl whose brother is in open rebellion against the throne even now. Sire, your councillors beg you, for the good of your realm, set Sansa
Stark42 aside. The Lady Margaery will make you a far more suitable queen.” Like a pack of trained dogs, the lords and ladies in the hall began to shout their pleasure. “Margaery,” they called. “Give us Margaery!” and “No
traitor43 queens! Tyrell! Tyrell!” Joffrey raised a hand. “I would like to
heed44 the wishes of my people, Mother, but I took a holy
vow45.” The High Septon stepped forward. “Your Grace, the gods hold bethrothal solemn, but your father, King Robert of blessed memory, made this
pact47 before the Starks of Winterfell had revealed their falseness. Their crimes against the realm have freed you from any promise you might have made. So far as the Faith is concerned, there is no
valid48 marriage contract ‘twixt you and Sansa Stark.” A
tumult49 of cheering filled the throne room, and cries of “Margaery, Margaery” erupted all around her. Sansa leaned forward, her hands tight around the gallery’s wooden rail. She knew what came next, but she was still frightened of what Joffrey might say, afraid that he would refuse to release her even now, when his whole kingdom depended upon it. She felt as if she were back again on the marble steps outside the Great Sept of Baelor, waiting for her prince to grant her father mercy, and instead hearing him command Ilyn Payne to strike off his head. Please, she prayed
fervently50, make him say it, make him say it. Lord Tywin was looking at his grandson. Joff gave him a
sullen51 glance, shifted his feet, and helped Ser Garlan Tyrell to rise. “The gods are good. I am free to heed my heart. I will wed your sweet sister, and gladly, ser.” He kissed Ser Garlan on a bearded cheek as the cheers rose all around them. Sansa felt
curiously52 light-headed. I am free. She could feel eyes upon her. I must not smile, she reminded herself. The queen had warned her; no matter what she felt inside, the face she showed the world must look distraught. “I will not have my son humiliated,” Cersei said. “Do you hear me?” “Yes. But if I’m not to be queen, what will become of me?” “That will need to be
determined53. For the moment, you shall remain here at court, as our
ward46.” “I want to go home.” The queen was irritated by that. “You should have learned by now, none of us get the things we want.” I have, though, Sansa thought. I am free of Joffrey. I will not have to kiss him, nor give him my
maidenhood54, nor bear him children. Let Margaery Tyrell have all that, poor girl. By the time the outburst died down, the Lord of Highgarden had been seated at the council table, and his sons had joined the other knights and lordlings beneath the windows. Sansa tried to look forlorn and abandoned as other heroes of the Battle of the Blackwater were summoned
forth55 to receive their rewards. Paxter Redwyne, Lord of the
Arbor56, marched down the length of the hall flanked by his twin sons Horror and Slobber, the former limping from a wound taken in the battle. After them followed Lord Mathis Rowan in a snowy doublet with a great tree worked upon the breast in gold thread; Lord Randyll Tarly, lean and balding, a greatsword across his back in a jeweled scabbard; Ser Kevan Lannister, a thickset balding man with a close-trimmed beard; Ser Addam Marbrand, coppery hair streaming to his shoulders; the great western lords Lydden, Crakehall, and Brax. Next came four of
lesser57 birth who had
distinguished58 themselves in the fighting: the one-eyed knight Ser Philip Foote, who had
slain59 Lord Bryce Caron in single combat; the freerider Lothor Brune, who’d cut his way through half a hundred Fossoway men-at-arms to capture Ser Jon of the green apple and kill Ser Bryan and Ser Edwyd of the red,
thereby60 winning himself the name Lothor Apple-Eater; Willit, a grizzled man-atarms in the service of Ser Harys Swyft, who’d pulled his master from beneath his dying horse and defended him against a dozen attackers; and a downycheeked
squire15 named Josmyn Peckledon, who had killed two knights, wounded a third, and captured two more, though he could not have been more than fourteen. Willit was borne in on a litter, so grievous were his wounds. Ser Kevan had taken a seat beside his brother Lord Tywin. When the heralds had finished telling of each hero’s deeds, he rose.
