Killed? By whom?
TYRION: Accounts differ.
Most seem to implicate Catelyn Stark in some way.
Really? Who'd have thought?
Some say it was one of his own Kingsguard,
while still others say it was Stannis himself who did it
after negotiations went sour.
Whomever did it, I say well done.
It's not what Varys says.
He says Renly's army is flocking to support Stannis,
which would give Stannis superiority over us on both land and sea.
Littlefinger says we can outspend him three to one.
And I say Father raised you to have too much respect for money.
Stannis Baratheon is coming for us, sooner rather than later.
Aren't there other things you should be doing,
like sealing my daughter in a crate so you can ship her away?
She'll be safer in Dorne.
Yes, I know how concerned you are for her safety.
It so happens that I am.
Myrcella is a sweet, innocent girl and I don't blame her at all for you.
So clever.
Aren't you always so clever with your schemes and your plots?
Schemes and plots are the same thing.
They are going to attack us.
We need to be ready.
No need to concern yourself over it.
The king is taking personal charge of siege preparations.
May I ask specifically what the king has in mind?
You may, specifically, or you may ask vaguely.
The answer will be the same.
It's important that we talk about this.
It's the king's royal prerogative
to withhold sensitive information from his councilors.
