“What would you have offered him, that hole between your legs?” Tyrion said, his own anger flaring1. This time he saw the slap coming. His head snapped around with a crack. “Sweet sweet sister,” he said, “I promise you, that was the last time you will ever strike me.” His sister laughed. “Don’t threaten me, little man. Do you think Father’s letter keeps you safe? A piece of paper. Eddard Stark2 had a piece of paper too, for all the good it did him.” Eddard Stark did not have the City Watch, Tyrion thought, nor my clansmen, nor the sellswords that Bronn has hired. I do. Or so he hoped. Trusting in Varys, in Ser Jacelyn Bywater, in Bronn. Lord Stark had probably had his delusions3 as well. Yet he said nothing. A wise man did not pour wildfire on a brazier. Instead he poured a fresh cup of wine. “How safe do you think Myrcella will be if King’s Landing falls? Renly and Stannis will mount her head beside yours.” And Cersei began to cry. Tyrion Lannister could not have been more astonished if Aegon the Conqueror4 himself had burst into the room, riding on a dragon and juggling5 lemon pies. He had not seen his sister weep since they were children together at Casterly Rock. Awkwardly, he took a step toward her. When your sister cries, you were supposed to comfort her... but this was Cersei! He reached a tentative hand for her shoulder. “Don’t touch me,” she said, wrenching6 away. It should not have hurt, yet it did, more than any slap. Red-faced, as angry as she was grief stricken, Cersei struggled for breath. “Don’t look at me, not... not like this... not you.” Politely, Tyrion turned his back. “I did not mean to frighten you. I promise you, nothing will happen to Myrcella.” “Liar,” she said behind him. “I’m not a child, to be soothed7 with empty promises. You told me you would free Jaime too. Well, where is he? “ “In Riverrun, I should imagine. Safe and under guard, until I find a way to free him.” Cersei
