“What are you, Varys?” Tyrion found he truly wanted to know. “A spider, they say.” “Spies and informers are seldom loved, my lord. I am but a loyal servant of the realm.” “And a eunuch. Let us not forget that.” “I seldom do.” “People have called me a halfman too, yet I think the gods have been kinder to me. I am small, my legs are twisted, and women do not look upon me with any great yearning1... yet I’m still a man. Shae is not the first to grace my bed, and one day I may take a wife and sire a son. If the gods are good, he’ll look like his uncle and think like his father. You have no such hope to sustain you. Dwarfs2 are a jape of the gods... but men make eunuchs. Who cut you, Varys? When and why? Who are you, truly? “ The eunuch’s smile never flickered3, but his eyes glittered with something that was not laughter. “You are kind to ask, my lord, but my tale is long and sad, and we have treasons to discuss.” He drew a parchment from the sleeve of his robe. “The master of the King’s Galley4 White Hart plots to slip anchor three days hence to offer his sword and ship to Lord Stannis.” Tyrion sighed. “I suppose we must make some sort of bloody5 lesson out of the man?” “Ser Jacelyn could arrange for him to vanish, but a trial before the king would help assure the continued loyalty6 of the other captains.” And keep my royal nephew occupied as well. “As you say. Put him down for a dose of Joffrey’s justice.” Varys made a mark on the parchment. “Ser Horas and Ser Hobber Redwyne have bribed7 a guard to let them out a postern gate, the night after next. Arrangements have been made for them to sail on the Pentoshi galley Moonrunner, disguised as oarsmen.” “Can we keep them on those oars
