“Will the queen attend, do you think?” Sansa always felt safer when Cersei was there to restrain her son. “I fear not, my lady. The council is meeting, some urgent business.” Ser Arys dropped his voice. “Lord Tywin has gone to ground at Harrenhal instead of bringing his army to the city as the queen commanded. Her Grace is furious.” He fell silent as a column of Lannister guardsmen marched past, in crimson1 cloaks and lion-crested helms. Ser Arys was fond of gossip, but only when he was certain that no one was listening. The carpenters had erected2 a gallery and lists in the outer bailey. It was a poor thing indeed, and the meager3 throng4 that had gathered to watch filled but half the seats.

Ebon-skinned Jalabhar Xho was an exile who had no other refuge, Lady Ermesande a babe seated on her wet nurse’s lap. The talk was she would soon be wed7 to one of the queen’s cousins, so the Lannisters might claim her lands. The king was shaded beneath a crimson canopy8, one leg thrown negligently9 over the carved wooden arm of his chair. Princess Myrcella and Prince Tommen sat behind him. In the back of the royal box, Sandor Clegane stood at guard, his hands resting on his swordbelt. The white cloak of the Kingsguard was draped over his broad shoulders and fastened with a jeweled brooch, the snowy cloth looking somehow
