Chapter Seventeen - Tyrion 4 - A Clash of Kings | A Song of Ice and Fire

Published: May 17, 2021, 4 a.m.

Tyrion meets with Pycelle, Littlefinger, and Varys, feeding each a different story, hoping to learn which story reaches Cersei\\u2019s ears. Allister Thorne has arrived, hunger is getting out of hand in King\\u2019s Landing, and Cersei wants Jamie freed and her father\\u2019s army to come defend her. A Hand\\u2019s job is never done! Mackelly and Simon try to prioritize.

Chapter Review:
Tyrion Lannister breaks his fast with Grand Maester Pycelle. He dispatches a raven to Doran Martell in Dorne but Tyrion won\\u2019t be drawn on the letter\\u2019s content. Tyrion steals a bottle from Pycelle\\u2019s potion shelves, while the maester isn\\u2019t looking.

Tyrion and Bronn discuss today\\u2019s supplicants: Tanda Stokeworth with offers of food and her plump unwed daughter, Ser Alliser Thorne newly arrived from the Wall with a hand for the Hand - Tyrion doesn\\u2019t like Thorne so has him consigned to a dingy cell without meeting with him. A representative of the Bank of Braavos who\\u2019d like to discuss repayment by the crown of some loan, sounds like a job for Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish. A discontent Riverlands lordling and local merchants all get fobbed off.

Tyrion meets with Baelish and proposes marrying princess Myrcella to young Robert Arynn. If Baelish can broker that and bring the Vale\\u2019s forces out to oppose Renly and Stannis, the glittering prize of Harrnehal will be his. Petyr is wary, but unable to refuse.

Next is Varys, who already knows about the prior meetings, and apparently the contents of the letter: Tommen to be a ward of the Martells. Tyrion does not deny. One of this trio is going to blab to the queen and Tyrion cannot wait to find out.
