===''A Feast for Crows''=== [[File:OlennaRedwyne by MikeyBooch.jpg|thumb|350px|Olenna Tyrell by Mikey Booch Β©]] After [[Tyrion Lannister]] murders his father, [[Tywin Lannister]], and escapes the Red Keep, [[Qyburn]] informs Queen Regent [[Cersei Lannister]] that a [[gold]] [[currency|coin]] dating from the time of [[House Gardener]] had been found in the quarters of an undergaoler named [[Rugen]] (actually an alias of [[Varys]]), who vanished at the time Tyrion did.{{Ref|AFFC|7}} From Lady [[Taena of Myr|Taena Merryweather]], Cersei also learns that Olenna keeps a large chest of Gardener gold from before [[Aegon's Conquest]] in her wheelhouse. In the event that unwary tradespeople offend her, she pays them in the old gold coins of the [[Reach]], which are only half the weight of newly minted gold dragons.{{Ref|AFFC|16}} Both pieces of information make Cersei suspect that the Tyrells were involved in the escape of Tyrion and in the assassination of Lord Tywin.{{Ref|AFFC|24}} Lady Olenna attends the wake for Tywin with her family. Cersei informs Lord [[Mace Tyrell]] that she has appointed Lord [[Gyles Rosby]] as [[master of coin]] instead of Mace's uncle [[Garth Tyrell|Garth]], although the position had been promised to the [[House Tyrell|Tyrells]] by Tywin. When Mace tries to protest, Olenna eases the tension, but not without making some inappropriate remarks about both Gyles and Garth. She also alludes to the smell emanating from Tywin's corpse, making Cersei angry. When Cersei suggests that Olenna would want to return to [[Highgarden]] soon, she replies that she cannot leave [[King's Landing]] before the wedding of [[Margaery Tyrell|Margaery]] and King [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen I Baratheon]]. She mentions that she had been discussing a date for the wedding with Tywin at the time of his death and proposes to talk about this with Cersei soon.{{Ref|AFFC|7}} In the negotiations with Cersei on the marriage between Tommen and Margaery, Olenna drives a hard bargain. She insists on an immediate wedding, much to Cersei's dismay,{{Ref|AFFC|39}} and she also dismisses Cersei's suggestion that Tommen should wed his bride with a cloak in [[House Lannister|Lannister]] instead of [[House Baratheon|Baratheon]] colors.{{Ref|AFFC|12}} Olenna, vouching for her granddaughter still being a maiden,{{Ref|AFFC|43}} also proposes that Tommen and Margaery share their bed as soon as they are married. Cersei, horrified by the suggestion, refuses this. However, Olenna is adamant that the royal couple should at least spend the wedding night together, as anything else would mean ill luck for the marriage. Cersei relents on this point, but she later regrets her concession and arranges for her brother, Ser [[Jaime Lannister]], to make certain that nothing happens between Tommen and Margaery that night.{{Ref|AFFC|12}} During [[Wedding of Tommen I Baratheon and Margaery Tyrell|the wedding feast]], Olenna complains mockingly that "[[The Rains of Castamere]]" is not being sung. The nasty smile of the Queen of Thorns makes Cersei, who is increasingly wary of all Tyrells, think of [[Maggy the Frog]], although the two hardly look alike. Later that night, Olenna suggests to break up the feast and send king and queen to bed together.{{Ref|AFFC|12}} The day after the wedding, Olenna returns to Highgarden with her grandson, Ser [[Garlan Tyrell|Garlan the Gallant]].{{Ref|AFFC|12}} Tommen chooses the name ''[[Lady Olenna]]'' for one of the [[Cersei's dromonds|new dromonds]] being built for the [[royal fleet]].{{Ref|AFFC|28}}
