Tyrion has an awkward dinner with Sansa then gets lost in Littlefinger’s financial books. He then has a family gathering filled with news of Robb Stark’s death and his family's involvement, as well as Tywin's plan for Gregor Clegane. Throughout it all, King Joffrey is rotten, but this time he attacks Tywin. That does not go over well. Mackelly and Simon ponder the punishments for our dear king.
Chapter Review:
Tyrion Lannister dines with his wife Sansa Stark. Awkwardness still reigns between them. Afterward, Sansa goes to the godswood and Tyrion digs into the crown’s financial books maintained by Petyr Baelish.
He’s summoned to the Tower of the Hand. Upon arriving, Tyrion is handed a letter indicating that a Frey married a Tully and did something with wolf pelts. Joffrey blurts out that Robb Stark is dead. Awful Joff wants Robb’s head to make Sansa kiss it. Tyrion takes umbrage and calls Joff a monster. When Joff calls him the same, Tyrion says that if he is, Joff should be careful as kings are dying like flies lately. The back and forth ends with Joff telling Tywin that he hid under Casterly Rock during Robert’s Rebellion. Joff is sent to bed and Cersei is admonished for poor parenting before also being shown the door.
Tywin tells Tyrion the price of the Frey alliance. Some Lannisters will marry some Freys and Roose Bolton is Warden of the North and will marry Arya Stark to his bastard son Ramsay.
Tywin says he doesn’t plan to give Gregor Clegane to Oberyn Martell. He’s going to feed Oberyn the deceased Amory Lorch instead. Tyrion is dubious about the plan. Tywin thinks Tyrion should focus on fathering a son with Sansa.
