Tyrion tours the wildfire production lines in the Guildhall of the Alchemists. He welcomes Cleos Frey to King’s Landing and reads Robb Stark’s demands. He meets with Cersei who is furious that Tyrion plans to sell off Myrcella to Dorne in return for their cooperation in the war. Simon and Mackelly weigh the strategies.

Chapter Review:
Tyrion Lannister meets with the pyromancer Hallyne in the Guildhall of the Alchemists. They have 7,000 pots of wildfire ready to be used in the defense of King’s Landing. Tyrion is very uneasy - this substance burns on water and does unspeakable damage to all that it touches. He asks for some empty pots to be used in training the defenders.

Bronn informs Tyrion of two urgent summons. The Hand decides to visit Jacelyn Bywater first. Tyrion's cousin Cleos Frey has arrived from his captivity in Riverrun. Robb Stark’s demands are unacceptable, but Tyrion is pleased that he can stretch out the negotiations. He forbids anyone from Cleos’ crew from entering King’s Landing. He doesn’t want word of the starvation to reach the King in the North.

En route to his second urgent visit (with Cersei) he hears a preacher decrying the royals and the church. He’s a bit offended by being referred to as a “demon monkey.”
His sister Cersei is furious to have been kept waiting and incandescent that Tyrion should try to ship Myrcella to Dorne without consulting her. He tries to placate and feels like he’s made progress. Compelling amongst his arguments is that the princess may well be considerably safer in Sunspear than she is in the capital.
