His host is now said to be a hundred thousand strong.”  “That seems rather high.”  “He has the power of Storm’s End and Highgarden behind him, you little fool,” Cersei snapped down at him. “All the Tyrell bannermen but for the Redwynes, and you have me to thank for that. So long as I hold those poxy twins of his, Lord Paxter will squat3 on the Arbor4 and count himself fortunate to be out of it.”  “A pity you let the Knight5 of Flowers slip through your pretty fingers.

And if it goes the other way, he can descend9 on us while we are weakened.”  Cersei was not appeased10. “I want you to make Father bring his army to King’s Landing.”  Where it will serve no purpose but to make you feel safe. “When have I ever been able to make Father do anything?”  She ignored the question. “And when do you plan to free Jaime? He’s worth a hundred of you.”  Tyrion grinned crookedly
