Tyrion wines, dines, and has his way with Lord Janos Slynt. He appoints a new head of the City Watch and rounds out his evening by verbally sparring with Lord Varys. Mackelly and Simon consider Tyrion’s power moves and prospects.
Chapter Review:
Tyrion plies Janos Slynt, the new Lord of Harrenhal, with wine over a lavish dinner. The commander of the City Watch is quite drunk by the time Tyrion turns the tables and announces Slynt’s new career as a member of the Night’s Watch. The new head of the Gold Cloaks, Jacelyn Bywater, has his former boss escorted to a waiting ship and onward to the Wall.
Lord Varys admires Tyrion’s stratagems but the Hand is annoyed that the all-knowing Spider failed to protect baby Barra and her mother from murder at the hand of Slynt’s brutal henchmen. Varys apologizes, but claims he did get Gendry out of the city when he saw what Cersei had planned for Robert’s progeny. The men discuss Cersei’s cruelty and the riddle of where power truly resides.
After Varys departs, Bronn confirms that he’s recruiting worthy new men to Tyrion’s service, and with the Gold Cloak’s now led by Tyrion’s man Bywater, his position in King’s Landing should be secure.
