Tyrion and Sansa attend the wedding of King Joffrey and Margaery Tyrell. Afterward, they discuss leaving town in the near future. However, things get interesting at the wedding feast culminating in a dead king, Sansa missing, and Tyrion accused of murder. Simon and Mackelly wonder if they can get their gift back.

Chapter Review:
Tyrion Lannister and his wife Sansa Stark attend the royal wedding. While watching the ceremony, Tyrion further considers Joffrey as the man behind the attempt on Bran Stark’s life. He had opportunity and means but Tyrion can’t quite figure out what Joff’s motive would’ve been.

On the way back to the Red Keep from the wedding, Tyrion suggests he and Sansa get out of King’s Landing before long. Tyrion feels that his nephew’s behavior toward him is getting increasingly aggressive and worries it’ll end with Tyrion being a head shorter.

At the feast, singers sing of Joff, Cersei, and Renly’s heroics on the Blackwater, with no mention of Tyrion’s efforts to save the city. Next, dwarves mock joust at Joff’s behest and the king commands Tyrion to challenge the victor. When Tyrion refuses, things get ugly. The king dumps a chalice of wine on Tyrion and demands Tyrion be his cupbearer and serve him. Tyrion does as told and the king drinks deeply. He continues to mock Tyrion but a coughing fit worsens to choking. All around, people realize that the king is dying. When Cersei screams, Tyrion knows Joff is dead. What he wasn’t expecting was for Cersei to then have him, and his suddenly missing wife, arrested for murder.
