RED KEEP - SMALL COUNCIL CHAMBER

KEVAN LANNISTER chairs a meeting of the Small Council. MAESTER PYCELLE, MACE TYRELL and LADY OLENNA have all gathered around him.

"You joined the small council?" Margaery asked her grandmother in surprise.

"Well since they aren't even capable of getting my Granddaughter from her prison then this is what I would do at least" Olenna stated

[MAESTER PYCELLE: As bad as Lord Varys was, Qyburn is worse. I told them all. I told them. He's arrogant, dangerous. You don't get thrown out of the Citadel without good reason. And no one listened to my advice, so here we are.]

"This guy really hates Qyburn" Robb said

"Qyburn is smarter than him, and he is not just a good healer but a good spymaster as well" Aemon said

[JAIME, CERSEI and SER GREGOR enter the room.

MAESTER PYCELLE: And what he's done to Gregor Clegane is an abomination. We never sanctioned this, this experiment. And I for one think it would be in our best interest to have the beast dest --

MAESTER PYCELLE notices the new guests. He farts.]

"Pfft, hahaha this Maester is funny " Arya couldn't control herself

"This is the grandmaster of Citadel, clearly citadel has become lax in their selection" Rickon Stark said with a sigh.

KEVAN: Can I help you?

CERSEI (to LADY OLENNA): Why are you here?

MACE TYRELL: My mother...

LADY OLENNA: I was invited, my dear, to help deal with several troublesome issues, such as the queen's imprisonment.

CERSEI: Thank you for bringing it up. It's well past time we addressed the abuses I endured.

LADY OLENNA: Margaery is the queen. You are not the queen because you're not married to the king. I do appreciate these things can get a bit confusing in your family.

"Grandmother! clearly she is not smart and doesn't think much before she does something. So is it wise to insult such women" Margaery asked

"Can't live in fear of her retaliation now can I and we have seen that she is not that smart so whatever she does, it won't be much" Olenna Tyrell said

None of the Lannister came forward to try and defend Cersei when Olenna Tyrell and Margaery mocked her.

KEVAN (to CERSEI & company): This is a Small Council meeting. You have no position on the Small Council.

JAIME: I'm Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. The Lord Commander of the Kingsguard does have a position on the Small Council.

CERSEI: Grand Maester Pycelle, would you sanction that statement?

MAESTER PYCELLE: Well, um...I would say Ser Gerold Hightower had a seat on the Mad King's council. Of course, that was the Mad King. King Robert saw things differently.

JAIME pushes two chairs to the table. JAIME and CERSEI sit down. MAESTER PYCELLE keeps his mouth. The members of the Council look at JAIME and CERSEI.

CERSEI (to KEVAN): What about Myrcella's death, Uncle? Do you consider the murder of your own blood a troublesome issue?

JAIME: The same women who murdered Myrcella have overthrown House Martell and taken control of Dorne. We've got a lot to discuss. All of us together.

CERSEI: And seeing as you cannot make us leave, we best get on with it.

KEVAN: No, we cannot make you leave. And you cannot make us stay. Not unless you're gonna have that thing murder us all.

One by one, KEVAN LANNISTER, LADY OLENNA and MACE TYRELL leave the room. MAESTER PYCELLE picks up his paperwork and shuffles slowly. He then runs out of the door when SER GREGOR looks at him threateningly. JAIME, CERSEI and SER GREGOR are left alone in the room.

"It looks like even Kevan Lannister is fed up with those two" Oberyn Martel said

"Maybe but that doesn't mean that they won't deal with Ellaria? But why does she the ruler of Dorne, did she kill Arianne as well?" Elia asked

"No Arianne isn't in Dorne anymore" Doran Martell stated

"Why what happened?" Elia asked

"Lady Mellario, took Arianne with her when she found some of the plans Doran had for her, Arianne also found out that Doran wanted his son to take over house Martell angering her even further so she left quitely" Oberyn replied

Elia's face twisted in anger when she heard Oberyn and cursed Doran right then and there, "What twisted plan did you have that you would even take your daughters birth right? Don't tell me you wanted to marry her to Viserys and support him and king so that she would be queen."

Seeing that Doran wasn't trying to defend himself, Elia understood that this was Doran's original plan and couldn't help but think that both her brothers were idiots.

GREAT SEPT OF BAELOR - PRAYER ROOM

The HIGH SPARROW is praying. TOMMEN enters the room with his guards. The HIGH SPARROW stands up.

HIGH SPARROW: Oh, your Grace.

TOMMEN: My mother would like to see her daughter's final resting place.

HIGH SPARROW: Oh, I'm, sorry, your Grace. That's not possible. Not yet.

TOMMEN: When will it be possible?

HIGH SPARROW: When she's fully atoned for her sins.

TOMMEN: You've cut off her hair and marched her naked through the streets in front of the whole city. That wasn't a full atonement?

HIGH SPARROW: No. She must stand trial before seven septons, so we can learn the true extant of her sins.

"This is what happens when you give power to fanatics" Tyrion said

"Even the Targaryen's with their dragons couldn't control then what did Cersei thought would happen when she gave them power" Joanna sighed

TOMMEN: I want you to let her see Myrcella's resting place.

Several Faith Militant gather behind the HIGH SPARROW.

TOMMEN: I am the king.

HIGH SPARROW: You are.

TOMMEN: And what does that mean to you?

HIGH SPARROW: It means a great deal to me. The crown and the faith are the twin pillars of the world. Do you know who told me that? Your mother.

"I am sure she never thought that this would come to bite her ass someday" Olenna snorted

Margaery also tried to control her smile at that but couldn't.

TOMMEN walks closer to the HIGH SPARROW. The guards tenses.

TOMMEN: My mother who is unclean? My mother who still needs to atone after all you've put her through?

The HIGH SPARROW signs that his guards need to leave. They leave. TOMMEN puts his hand in the air and points to his guards. They leave. HIGH SPARROW closes the book lying on the table behind him.

HIGH SPARROW: How do you think the Mother Above first came to us? How did men and women first come to feel the Mother's presence? It was through their own mothers. There is a great deal of falsehood in Cersei, you know that. But when she speaks of you, the Mother's love outshines it all. Her love for you is more real than anything else in this world. Because it doesn't come from this world. But you know that. You've felt it. You've seen her when she talks to you.

TOMMEN: Yes.

"See even her own children can tell when she bullshit's" Olenna Tyrell said

"After all those lies you would think that she would be a better liar by now" Lyanna Stark added

HIGH SPARROW: It's a great gift. One I never had. Envy. One more thing for me to atone for.

HIGH SPARROW points to a bench in the room.

HIGH SPARROW: You Grace, may I? Do you mind? It's my knees.

TOMMEN: Of course.

HIGH SPARROW sighs and sits down.

HIGH SPARROW: When your mother made her walk of atonement, she did it to get back to you.

TOMMEN: I still don't understand why you want to put her through any more than she's already endured.

HIGH SPARROW: It's not what I want. It's what the gods want. They make their will known to us and it's up to us to either accept or reject it.

The HIGH SPARROW palms the seat next to him.

HIGH SPARROW: Please.

TOMMEN sits down next to him.

HIGH SPARROW: If we're to be just and good, then we accept it, all of us, even kings. A true leader avails himself of the wisest council he can. And no one is wiser than the gods.

TOMMEN: My grandfather once said something similar. Except for the part about the gods.

HIGH SPARROW: The gods worked through him whether he knew it or not. As they work through your mother. There's so much good in all of us. The best we can do is to help each other bring it out.]

"Wow! Tywin Lannister had the god working through him? What bullshit is he speaking?" Tyrion couldn't help but complain

"Whatever that will make Tonmen trust him i believe" Robb said

Aemon nodded his head and added "It won't take long before Tonmen is following his words and making decisions that make him happy afterall he is weak willed and has been under the control of strong or ceazy people all his life Joffery, Tywin and his mother all controlled him and now this High Sparrow will do the same"
