Pod dressed him for his ordeal1 in a plush velvet2 tunic3 of Lannister crimson4 and brought him his chain of office. Tyrion left it on the bedside table. His sister misliked being reminded that he was the King’s Hand, and he did not wish to inflame5 the relations between them any further. Varys caught up with him as he was crossing the yard. “My lord,” he said, a little out of breath. “You had best read this at once.” He held out a parchment in a soft white hand. “A report from the north.” “Good news or bad?” Tyrion asked. “That is not for me to judge.” Tyrion unrolled the parchment. He had to squint6 to read the words in the torchlit yard. “Gods be good,” he said softly. “Both of them?” “I fear so, my lord. It is so sad. So grievous sad. And them so young and innocent.” Tyrion remembered how the wolves had howled when the Stark7 boy had fallen. Are they howling now, I wonder? “Have you told anyone else?” he asked. “Not as yet, though of course I must.” He rolled up the letter. “I’ll tell my sister.” He wanted to see how she took the news. He wanted that very much. The queen looked especially lovely that night. She wore a low-cut gown of deep green velvet that brought out the color of her eyes. Her golden hair tumbled across her bare shoulders, and around her waist was a woven belt studded with emeralds. Tyrion waited until he had been seated and served a cup of wine before thrusting the letter at her. He said not a word. Cersei blinked at him innocently and took the parchment from his hand. “I trust you’re pleased,” he said as she read. “You wanted the Stark boy dead, I believe.” Cersei made a sour face. “It was Jaime who threw him from that window, not me. For love, he said, as if that would please me. It was a stupid thing to do, and dangerous besides, but when did our sweet brother ever stop to think?” “The boy saw you,” Tyrion
