The Boy leads Theon to a room which turns out to be the very torture chamber that he thought he'd escaped from. Unfortunately, his actions during the Sack of Winterfell have ruined any chance of reconciling with Robb and the others (even though, as he admits, Bran and Rickon are still alive), so he feels he has no choice but to return to the Iron Islands with Yara. He admits that Ned Stark was his true father all along and that Balon Greyjoy never cared about him. They sneak into the castle through the sewers, where Theon expresses his regret at his past actions. He wakes up shaken, with Jojen staring at him.Įlsewhere, Theon is led by his apparent savior to Deepwood Motte, where his sister Yara is allegedly waiting for him. Psychotically, she screams, "Promise Me!" over and over again and then shoves him out of the tree. When he tries to climb a tree to reach it, his mother Catelyn appears and reminds him that he promised to stop climbing. In the North, Bran has another dream where Jojen tells him he has to catch the Three-eyed Raven. Margaery suggests that once she becomes Queen, Sansa could marry Ser Loras and live in Highgarden. Sansa and Margaery meet in the Godswood outside the city, and seem to hit it off rather well. Furthermore, he chews her out for not being as intelligent as she thinks she is, saying that his reason for not giving her more influence is his lack of faith in her political abilities rather than her sex. Her father points out that the Tyrells saved the city from Stannis's army, and that someone needs to rein Joffrey in if Cersei is incapable of doing so. Cersei is increasingly concerned with the Tyrells' influence in the city and on Joffrey, as she discusses Lord Tywin. She leads Joffrey to greet the crowd of common people outside the Sept, who give them, or at least Margaery, their adoration. She pretends to share his macabre interest in the Targaryen tombs. Joffrey takes Lady Margaery on a tour of the Great Sept of Baelor. Lady Olenna comments that Sansa is a naïve and uninteresting girl, but as Robb Stark's heir (since Arya, Bran, and Rickon are presumed dead), to control her opens the way for control of the North. Varys intends to stop him from doing so, and to that end has a discussion with Lady Olenna. Later, Varys is informed by Ros that Littlefinger likely plans to take Sansa with him to the Vale, as he has ordered two feather beds for his ship. He opens a large box to reveal the sorcerer, bound and gagged, finally in Varys' clutches after all these years. Varys worked his way up from petty thief in Myr to Master of Whispers in King's Landing, always expanding his influence. He tells of how as a boy, he was castrated by a sorcerer as part of a dark magical ritual (hence his distrust of all magic), then cast aside. He does, however, give Tyrion a nice lecture on how revenge is a dish Best Served Cold. In King's Landing, Tyrion asks Varys whether he has any evidence that his sister tried to have him killed during the Battle of Blackwater.
