Synopsis

The Small Council is listening to Varys’ report of Renly’s death, but the Spider is not sure how Renly died. They bicker over the fact that only a small portion of Renly’s army bent the knee to King Stannis, led by Lord Alester Florent. Ser Loras Tyrell and most of the great Lords of the Reach did not join Stannis, and Tyrion feels there is an opportunity to try and win them over. Varys claims that Ser Loras killed three of the Rainbow Guard in a rage when he found the king dead, including Ser Robar Royce and Ser Emmon Cuy. They decide that a large amount of money and a proposal of marriage between Margaery and King Joffrey may win over Ser Loras and his father, the keys to obtaining the huge host. It is then decided that Littlefinger will treat with the Tyrells, and he requests a three-hundred troop honor guard, gold, a letter of authority, and Ser Hobber Redwyne in order to assure Lord Paxter comes over as well with his entire fleet. Afterwards, Cersei kisses Tyrion on the brow and thanks him, but Tyrion knows that it is not due to her affection for him, but rather that she is hatching some plan.
