Upon arrival in King's Landing, Tyrion has Shae guarded by [[Chella]] and the [[Black Ears]] at the [[Broken Anvil]] near the [[Gate of the Gods]]. Despite Tyrion's efforts to keep Shae's presence a secret, Lord [[Varys]] is able to quickly find her through his network of spies.{{ref|ACOK|3}} Tyrion cannot bring Shae to court in the [[Red Keep]], so he sets her up in a [[manse near the Iron Gate]]. Shae is given servants, [[silk]]s, and [[gemstone]]s,{{ref|ACOK|8}} and Tyrion has her guarded by ugly mercenaries, including a [[Braavos]]i daggerman, a [[eunuch]] strangler, and a pair of foul-smelling [[Ibbenese]].{{ref|ACOK|29}}

Recognizing that Shae's presence in King's Landing is a weapon his adversaries could use against him, Tyrion takes pains to keep her safe and secret.

Tyrion visits [[Chataya's brothel]] to ostensibly patronize [[Alayaya]], but then uses the tunnel to discretely visit Shae's manse.{{Ref|ACOK|29}} Tyrion makes frequent use of Shae's services, relegating her to a role as his exclusive companion, and he finds his feelings for her are strong.

During Tyrion's trial, Shae betrays Tyrion by lying that he conspired with Sansa to murder first King Joffrey and then Queen Cersei, Lord Tywin, and eventually Joffrey's younger brother, [[Tommen Baratheon]]. Shae reveals intimate details of their affair, including her pet name for him as her "giant of Lannister", while lying about Tyrion having threatened her. Tyrion responds by publicly demanding [[trial by battle]], and Prince [[Oberyn Martell]] offers to be his champion.{{ref|ASOS|70}}

Tyrion is condemned to death after Ser [[Gregor Clegane]] kills Oberyn in the trial by combat,{{ref|ASOS|70}} but Ser [[Jaime Lannister]] and Varys help Tyrion escape from the [[black cells]].

Cersei had refused to grant anything to a tearful Shae, however, unless the girl revealed Sansa's whereabouts.
