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. Varys helps facilitate their trysts by showing Tyrion a secret tunnel underneath the [[Hill of Rhaenys]]. 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. Tyrion believes he has finally gotten over his onetime wife, [[Tysha]], and his need for whoring.{{Ref|ACOK|29}}

Tyrion sends [[Shagga]] to Shae's manse to protect her during the [[riots in King's Landing]].{{ref|ACOK|41}}

Shae has [[Symon Silver Tongue]] sing to her often in the manse. When Symon recognizes the Hand during one visit, Tyrion swears the musician to secrecy. Shae desires to become Tyrion's lady in public, but he insists such a thing is impossible. Tyrion slaps Shae after she mocks him, and he speaks to her about Tysha.{{ref|ACOK|44}}

With [[Stannis Baratheon]]'s army approaching from the south and with the recent riots in mind, Tyrion fears for Shae's safety.{{ref|ACOK|44}} Confiscating her silks and [[jewels]],{{ref|ASOS|12}} Varys moves Shae to the Red Keep and finds her a cover job as a maid of [[Lollys Stokeworth]], allowing Tyrion to continue to see her.{{Ref|ACOK|44}} Varys later guides a blindfolded Shae through [[secret passages]] to visit Tyrion in the [[Tower of the Hand]].{{ref|ACOK|54}}

Before the [[Battle of the Blackwater]], Alayaya is abducted by the [[House Kettleblack|Kettleblack brothers]] at Queen [[Cersei Lannister]]'s demand in order to pressure Tyrion; Cersei is unaware that her brother has actually been seeing the hidden Shae. Tyrion promises that whatever the Kettleblacks do to Alayaya, he will have done to Prince [[Tommen Baratheon]].{{Ref|ACOK|54}}

Shae helps [[Falyse Stokeworth]] bring Lollys into [[Maegor's Holdfast]] before the battle with Stannis's forces; [[Sansa Stark]] thinks the maid looks unhappy serving Lollys.{{ref|ACOK|57}} Cersei warns Sansa that Lollys's pretty serving [[wench]] would be in danger if Stannis's men were to take the castle.{{ref|ACOK|60}} Tyrion is taken into Maegor's to recover after being wounded by Ser [[Mandon Moore]] in the battle.{{ref|ACOK|67}}
