| Text | - "Queen Cersei wrote back," Maester Lucas says, his face white with shock. "She says Tywin Lannister was murdered. By Lord Tyrion!"
- Maester Lucas swallows. "He escaped. The queen is offering a reward for his head. She says he murdered their father in the privy."
- "Does anyone else know of Lord Tywin's death?"
- "Wasn't Tyrion chained up and sentenced to die?"
- "Who is lord of House Lannister now?"
- Maester Lucas lowers his voice. "The news has been announced by now in King's Landing. There'll be a funeral. We should send someone..."
- "House Lannister will not soon see Lord Tywin's like again."
- "I don't believe it. Lord Tyrion is a good man at heart and loyal to his family."
- Maester Lucas scans the letter. "The queen doesn't say. But with Tyrion condemned and Jaime in white... perhaps Myrcella? Or Lord Tywin's brother?"
- "We must show our support. The other great houses cannot perceive a moment of weakness."
