“It’s the Hand’s tourney that’s the cause of all the trouble, my lords,” the Commander of the CityWatch complained to the king’s council.
“The king’s tourney,” Ned corrected, wincing1. “I assure you, the Hand wants no part of it.”
“Call it what you will, my lord. Knights2 have been arriving from all over the realm, and for everyknight we get two freeriders, three craftsmen4, six men-at-arms, a dozen merchants, two dozen whores,and more thieves than I dare guess. This cursed heat had half the city in a fever to start, and now withall these visitors … last night we had a drowning, a tavern5 riot, three knife fights, a rape6, two fires,robberies beyond count, and a drunken horse race down the Street of the Sisters. The night before awoman’s head was found in the Great Sept, floating in the rainbow pool. No one seems to know howit got there or who it belongs to.”
“How dreadful,” Varys said with a shudder7.
Lord Renly Baratheon was less sympathetic. “If you cannot keep the king’s peace, Janos, perhapsthe City Watch should be commanded by someone who can.”
Stout8, jowly Janos Slynt puffed9 himself up like an angry frog, his bald pate10 reddening. “Aegon theDragon himself could not keep the peace, Lord Renly. I need more men.”
“How many?” Ned asked, leaning forward. As ever, Robert had not troubled himself to attend thecouncil session, so it fell to his Hand to speak for him.
“As many as can be gotten, Lord Hand.”
“Hire fifty new men,” Ned told him. “Lord Baelish will see that you get the coin.”
