Things had gotten interesting while he'd been away, Tyrion reflected. "And what is our fearless monarch doing whilst all this ‘butcher's work' is being done?" he wondered. "How has my lovely and persuasive sister gotten Robert to agree to the imprisonment of his dear friend Ned?"
看來他缺席期間，局勢產生了有趣的發展，提利昂心想。“當外面凈在干些‘屠殺之事’的時候，咱們驍勇善戰的國王陛下又在做什么呢？”他問，“我倒很想知道，我那能言善道的漂亮姐姐，究竟是怎么說服勞勃，同意囚禁他親愛的伙伴奈德？”

“是嗎？”父親看來不為所動。“另外還有兩個奈德·史塔克的余孽，專門騷擾我們的征糧部隊。一個是想逞英雄的貴族少爺貝里·唐德利恩，
