Certo’s comments from the A Song of Ice and Fire - A Chapter a day group.

Hi folks!

1. Okay. now in the beginning of this Chapter. After the battle, Tyrion was wounded. But it still irked me on how ignorant the people can be. I mean, he practically saved the City and he's given no thanks at all, just disgust and anger by the people. Tywin walks in and Joffrey makes a show of it all with his Family.

2. People cheered for Mace Tyrell and the power of Highgarden and the Lannisters for breaking Stannis Baratheon's forces beneath the Walls of Kingslanding. Again no one mentions Tyrion.

3. More stupid show on how Highgarden supports the Baratheon Royalty(Lannister Royalty), and the entire of Westeros.

4.Joffrey asks if the Tyrells wants anything more and they offer marriage and Joffrey(The drama king), accepts. And no one says no, even the High Septon. Highgarden wins blah,blah,blah.... Of course the High Seton would approve! Unless he wants his head to roll there and then!

5. Now Sansa has the right of it. She's no longer bound to that Sadistic prick. She can feel free alright. Poor Margaery! xD

6. Petyr Baelish becomes lord paramount of the Trident! That little conniving prick! He's dangerous, that one is!

7. A lot of new knights are made, since a lot of them died in the battle. Ahahahahaha.... Ser Mandon Moore is dead! That's right! That no good at all, no deserving knight is in his watery grave!!

8. Lord Celtigar, Lord Eastermont, the Fossoways, and other highborn prisoners were captured and made to kneel, and choose between life and death. One brave soul shouts the truth, but no one pays it any heed. Tywin had the guy killed, right there on the spot.

9. Sansa leaps with joy when her betrothal with Joffrey is null and void. But wait, there's a catch! Her misery doesn't stop there. Dontos tells her that if Joffrey ever wants her in his bed, he will have her no matter what. Also she will then be giving birth to his Bastards rather than trueborn children. She is very distraught and now full of Fear for her future. lol You can see how people looks at illegitimate in that world. Even in real life social status always does affect ones own Personal life. Even know in countries, where ancestry is very important, bastardy is also looked down upon.



As for your Spoiler. It is most definitely the hairnet. Plus Sansa wasn't blackmailed but tricked. That I will say.

Yeah I don't believe that will happen even if its Jaime Lannister we're talking about here. Because for the Following reasons;

1. At the end of the first book it hints that Westeros was divided. (Sorry, I had to say this for justification)

2. In a divided kingdom I doubt that the other Kings shall recognized the Agreement of Division. (In the end of Catelyn's Chapter)

Well, from what I've read in this Chapter it all comes down to POLITICS. Robb's Sisters are really not good enough to Trade the Kingslayer (Jaime Lannister)for. Think about it. If you were a king and you have a dangerous enemy that is skilled in Warfare and is the son of a great house whom, by the way, are very influential in the Southern Part of Westeros, and is also Feared by the likes of the Powerful House Tyrell. Well you wouldn't want him back in the Field, where he can wreak havoc with an army and at the same time strengthen their house's influence. It is much better to contain him and at the same time have some form of Influence on House Lannister. That way King Robb will be able to deduce House Lannisters' plans and limit their movement with the threat for the life of one of their own blood.
