Upon hearing this, Catelyn immediately fell into deep thought and muttered, "Lannister? It really is them, that makes sense, that makes sense!"
"Lord Petyr, Lady Catelyn, I think there's nothing else for me here. I think I should leave." Varys then stood up, and as Catelyn was about to say something, he proactively promised, "Please rest assured, I will absolutely not speak of what happened here. Of course, I also hope that neither of you will tell others that I was here. Let's just pretend I never appeared, what do you think, dear Lady?"
"Of course, Lord Varys." Catelyn had no choice but to agree.
"Lord Varys, I have one more thing to trouble you with." Littlefinger suddenly stopped Varys, who was about to leave, and said, "Catelyn is no longer suitable to leave here. That training master should have already been noticed, and it's not good for me to leave either. So, please trouble you to go to the Red Keep and inform our Prime Minister. It would be even better if you could personally bring him here without being discovered."
Varys looked troubled and said, "Lord Petyr, such a request is difficult for me. You should know that I will not intervene..."
"I will grant that previous request of yours," Petyr said in a low voice.
Varys smiled and nodded, saying, "I will bring Lord Eddard over."
After leaving the brothel, Varys returned directly to the Red Keep, but he did not immediately go to the Prime Ministers Tower. Instead, he returned to his own residence, disguised himself as Logan, the dungeon guard, and went directly to the dungeon, arriving outside one of the cells.
Varys spoke to the person inside the cell, "Catelyn has arrived, and the murder weapon also points to Little Devil."
The person in the cell walked to the door. In the firelight, his face could be seen. If Lynd were here, he would surely recognize him as Jaqen.
Jaqen calmly said, "Very good. Someone just needs to wait and watch the show now."
Varys said in a low voice, "Is this matter a bit too simple? Using a dagger to identify the killer, there are too many loopholes. I'm afraid..."
Jaqen looked at Varys and said, "It doesn't matter, don't worry about it being exposed. It doesn't matter if others believe it or not, as long as that Lady believes it was Little Devil. The various clues someone left in Winterfell have already made this Lady completely believe that the Lannister family is the one who harmed her child. The dagger now merely deepens her conviction. As soon as an opportunity arises, she will not hesitate to display her maternal love, even if her maternal love destroys her family."
Varys felt a chill in his heart as he listened to Jaqen's words, then he said, "Littlefinger doesn't know about our relationship yet. He has already promised to get me the Citadel qualification. Are you going to the Citadel now?"
Jaqen turned and walked back into the depths of the cell, saying, "No, it's not time yet. Someone will leave only after seeing what they want to see."
Varys's expression became solemn for a moment, then quickly returned to normal. He then turned and left the cell, returned to his room to change back into his usual clothes, and then walked towards the Prime Ministers Tower.
Upon reaching the Prime Minister's study, Varys knocked on the door. Hearing Eddard's voice from inside, he pushed the door open. Seeing Eddard Stark processing documents, he wasted no words and directly said, "Lord Eddard, please follow me. I have something very important to tell you."
Eddard looked at Varys, hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked towards Varys.
Jory Cassel wanted to follow, but Varys stopped him. At Eddard's signal, he ultimately did not follow.
Varys led Eddard through the corridors of the Red Keep, avoiding all the guards, then came to the edge of the castle where the stables were located. They left the Red Keep through a small door next to the stables, then followed relatively secluded alleys, all the way to the brothel on Silk Street.
"You finally brought him! I've been waiting here for too long, almost making people think I'm also a prostitute receiving clients." Littlefinger, who was waiting at the door, immediately greeted them upon seeing the two, then said to Eddard, "Lord Eddard, follow me! Your Lady is waiting inside for you."
"Damn Petyr! Are you playing with me?" Eddard looked at the brothel in front of him, felt offended, grabbed Petyr's collar, and pinned him against the wall.
"Slow down! Slow down!" Varys said from the side, "Lord Eddard, Lord Petyr is right, your Lady is indeed..."
"Ned! Ned!" At this moment, Catelyn stuck her head out of the second-floor window of the brothel, called out to Eddard a few times, and then waved.
Seeing his wife appear in a brothel, Eddard Stark was completely stunned. He only came back to his senses when Petyr reminded him.
He then released Petyr, without apologizing, and rushed into the brothel in a hurry.
"Hmph! Northerners!" Petyr straightened his clothes, brushed off the dust from his body, and a look of disdain appeared on his face.
"Lord Petyr, don't forget your promise." Varys helped Petyr brush off the dust from his back and said.
Petyr smiled and said, "Of course, even if I forget everyone else's promises, I would never dare to forget my promise to you, Lord Varys."
