Varys stood over the brazier, warming his soft hands. “It would appear Renly was murdered most fearfully in the very midst of his army. His throat was opened from ear to ear by a blade that passed through steel and bone as if they were soft cheese.” “Murdered by whose hand?” Cersei demanded. “Have you ever considered that too many answers are the same as no answer at all? My informers are not always as highly placed as we might like. When a king dies, fancies sprout1 like mushrooms in the dark. A groom2 says that Renly was slain3 by a knight4 of his own Rainbow Guard. A washerwoman claims Stannis stole through the heart of his brother’s army with his magic sword. Several men-at-arms believe a woman did the fell deed, but cannot agree on which woman. A maid that Renly had spurned5, claims one. A camp follower6 brought in to serve his pleasure on the eve of battle, says a second. The third ventures that it might have been the Lady Catelyn Stark7.” The queen was not pleased. “Must you waste our time with every rumor8 the fools care to tell?” “You pay me well for these rumors9, my gracious queen.” “We pay you for the truth, Lord Varys. Remember that, or this small council may grow smaller still.” Varys tittered nervously10. “You and your noble brother will leave His Grace with no council at all if you continue.” “I daresay, the realm could survive a few less councillors,” said Littlefinger with a smile. “Dear dear Petyr,” said Varys, “are you not concerned that yours might be the next name on the Hand’s little list?” “Before you, Varys? I should never dream of it.” “Mayhaps we will be brothers on the Wall together, you and I” Varys
