บท 277: Chapter 277
"We'll leave by the end of the week." He said "Now Tyrion. Tell me about the mass migration from Kings Landing and Gulltown."
"It's… slow going." Tyrion said "Even if the people have nothing to their name, they're still afraid of venturing the unknown. So far we've only been able to convince some 10,000 men and women to come to the North to live in the New Gift. The ships from the Royal Fleet had been loaded with these people and have been sent up North. They'll arrive within a month or so. That number should also increase once the others see that more and more people are migrating up North."
"I see." He said "Does anyone else has anything important to report?"
Lyra got up from her chair and he nodded at her to speak.
"The King and his entourage has finally reached King." She said "Lady Sansa and Lady Stark went there along with Ser Rodrick Cassel and 100 Stark guards. I heard that some kind of altercation happened between Lady Sansa and the Prince on the way to Kings Landing. The Prince became angry. Lady, the direwolf pup of Lady Sansa defended her. For that, the queen had the direwolf pup executed."
"What?" Briar asked as she got up from her chair, her face contorted with anger as she touched her shadowcat laying under the table.
He could understand why she could react like that. She knew that the Stark children had some Warg talent in them and would thus bond with the direwolves that each of them had.
He was told that to lose a bonded animal was like losing a limb. It's not something that ever truly recover from.
Sansa will probably miss Lady's presence for the rest of her life now.
"That is unfortunately what happened Briar." Lyra said, also knowing the importance of a bond. "The tense atmosphere between the Lannisters and the Starks have become even more fragile at this point. Once they Starks reached Kings Landing, Lady Stark didn't allow Sansa to go anywhere without at least 4 guards on her person all the time."
"This does not bode well." Tyrion said "My sister is a vengeful beast. Once she sets her eyes on someone, she won't stop until she has utterly ruined them. I don't think that Starks will have a good time in Kings Landing."
"Moving on." Lyra said "King Robert has started yet another Tourney as soon as he returned to Kings Landing. For the betrothal of his son Prince Joffrey Baratheon and Lady Sansa Stark. Will you be sending anyone else for this Tourney." She said while looking toward Varko.
He scoffed "As if the King needs any reason to host a tourney. And yes. Varko can easily participate in the melee and then return before the ships reach Hardhome. Are you interested Varko? What is the prize money this time?"
"20,000 gold dragons for the melee champion." Lyra said.
"Some extra gold will not hurt." Varko said, already having earned more than 200,000 gold dragons in all the melee competitions he has won so far.
He wanted to ask Ygritte if she was interested in the archery competition but the Queen hated him and knew that Ygritte was his lover. She might try something exceedingly foolish in order to pay him back for her humiliation for which he would have to kill her and make and example out of her.
He would rather not do it so he didn't ask her anything.
"Any other news?" he asked.
"Only rumors about the next Hand of the King." Lyra said.
"Let me guess. Stannis?" With how much Robert disliked Tywin Lannister, there was no way he would make the Lanninster his hand anytime soon. And truth be told, after Lord Arryn died and Lord Stark rejected the offer, the King doesn't really have any good choice left.
Lyra nodded "It seems Lord Stannis is going to be the next Hand of the King." She said "Though I'm sure that the king plans to take as long as possible to hand over that position to his brother."
"No doubt about that." He said "Anything else?"
Lyra nodded "One last thing. Daenerys Targaryen is set to marry Khal Drogo in short order. Should we do something about that."
"No. Let the beggar prince dig his own grave." He said "Anything else?"
Lyra shook her head and he got up from his chair
"This meeting is over then." He said "You're dismissed."
