Editing A Storm of Swords-Chapter 4 (section)

==Synopsis==    
[[Bronn]] visits [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]], who is recovering from his wounds from the [[Battle of the Blackwater]] in [[Maegor's Holdfast]]. He finds that much has changed in [[King's Landing]] under his father [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin's]] rule. He also realizes that his father has seen to it that Tyrion received little of the credit for saving the city. Bronn has been [[knight]]ed, and now goes by Ser Bronn of the Blackwater. Ser [[Mandon Moore]] drowned and [[Sandor Clegane]] has fled. Lord [[Jacelyn Bywater]] was killed by his own men during the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], and Ser [[Addam Marbrand]] has replaced him as Commander of the [[City Watch of King's Landing|City Watch]]. Tyrion's [[Vale mountain clans|mountain clansmen]] have been chased out of the city. Some remain in the [[kingswood]], but others return to the [[Vale of Arryn|Vale]]. [[Alayaya]] was whipped before [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]] allowed her to be freed. Cersei has returned [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]] to the city, and the [[House Kettleblack|Kettleblacks]], now all knights, are no longer working for Tyrion.  Bronn tells about [[Renly's ghost]] and [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis's]] escape from the battle. Lord [[Randyll Tarly]] is being sent to deal with [[northmen]] marching on [[Duskendale]]. [[Margaery Tyrell]] is en route to the capital. Tyrion asks Bronn to learn more about Mandon, trying to discover if his sister sent the [[Kingsguard]] to kill him. 

With the aid of Bronn and his squire, [[Podrick Payne]], Tyrion forces himself to dress so he can visit his father. The drawbridge of Maegor's Holdfast is already up for the night, but Tyrion invokes his father's name to convince Ser [[Meryn Trant]] to have it lowered. Tyrion reluctantly asks Bronn to carry him up the [[serpentine steps]]. They pass through the [[Outer yard of the Red Keep|outer yard]], which is full of [[men of the Reach]]. 

Tyrion encounters Addam on the turnpike stair of the [[Tower of the Hand]]. Tyrion's cousin [[Tyrek Lannister|Tyrek]] still has not been found after the [[riots in King's Landing]], and is feared dead.

Tyrion meets with his father privately in Tywin's solar, with Bronn and Podrick waiting outside. The date for [[Purple Wedding|the wedding]] of Margaery and King [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] has been set for the first day of {{date|300}}. Lord Tywin reveals that some battles are won by quills and [[raven]]s, and is in the process of composing letters. The [[Hand of the King|Hand]] tells his son they cannot finish Stannis at [[Dragonstone]] until they have the [[Redwyne fleet]] available.  Ser [[Helman Tallhart]] and [[Robett Glover]] are marching on Duskendale, but Tywin has sent Lord Tarly and Ser [[Gregor Clegane]] to deal with them. Tywin considers the naming of [[Petyr Baelish]] as [[Lord of Harrenhal]] to be an empty title while [[Harrenhal|the castle]] is in the hands of [[Roose Bolton]], but Littlefinger did do them good service in negotiating with the [[House Tyrell|Tyrells]].

Tyrion seeks a little gratitude from his father, but Tywin tells him, "[[Mummer]]s and [[monkey]]s require applause." Ser [[Arys Oakheart]] has written about [[Myrcella Baratheon|Myrcella]] being accepted at [[Sunspear]], though Tywin is relucant to turn Gregor over to Prince [[Doran Martell]]. Tyrion states that he wants [[Casterly Rock]], as he is heir by rights since [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] is a sworn brother of the Kingsguard. Tywin will never let Tyrion have the [[House Lannister|Lannisters's]] ancestral seat, however. Tywin reveals he had Alayaya whipped because of Tyrion's threats against Joffrey and Tommen, and he warns that he will hang the next [[whore]] Tyrion takes to bed.
