The day after the martial arts tournament ended, Lynd prepared to leave King's Landing and return to Summerhall.
Almost at the same time Lynd was preparing to leave King's Landing, a merchant ship from White Harbor docked at the King's Landing pier, and a woman in a hooded cloak and disguise, along with a short, stout, white-haired old man wearing a long sword, disembarked.
"Madam, what do we do next?" Perhaps because he had just disembarked, the white-haired old man's steps were a bit unsteady, and his face was pale, looking as if he were ill.
The woman with the hood saw a team of Gold Cloaks patrolling the pier and couldn't help but pull her hood down further, completely covering her face, then said, "Don't go to the castle yet. This place is full of Lannister's running dogs. If we go to the Red Keep, we'll be discovered. Let's go to the inn the captain just recommended."
After making their decision, the two entered King's Landing through the River Gate, then found an inn in Eel Alley on Visenya's Hill to stay.
However, while the old man was out gathering information, the woman was brought by the Gold Cloaks to a brothel on Silk Street.
"Catelyn, long time no see." Petyr saw the woman enter and immediately waved away the serving prostitutes, standing up and walking towards her.
However, before Petyr could reach the woman, he was slapped hard by her, and then the woman threw back her hood, revealing the face of Catelyn, Lady of Winterfell and wife of the Warden of the North.
Catelyn, who had been on edge the entire journey, angrily questioned, "Petyr, are you insane? Bringing me to a place like this? When you were little, you had some manners, but now? Am I your maid? To be ordered around by you!"
Petyr touched his slapped face, showing no anger at all, and waved to the frightened prostitutes, signaling them to leave quickly.
After the prostitutes left, he closed the door and said, "Catelyn, you know me. I would never offend you. You should also know that the entire King's Landing is not safe. There are eyes and ears everywhere. When you disembarked, you were already being watched. If my people hadn't brought you here, then the inn you're staying at would have already been surrounded, and you wouldn't be able to send out any messages."
"How did you know I was coming to King's Landing?" Catelyn's expression improved slightly, then she asked suspiciously.
"Varys told me. When you boarded the ship in White Harbor, Varys had already received the news. When you disembarked, his little birds immediately spotted you and found me." Littlefinger smiled and said, "Although I don't like him, I have to admit he's a very competent Master of Whisperers. The entire Seven Kingdoms is covered by his spiderweb; his informants are everywhere. He can receive news faster than anyone else. Perhaps he's already on his way here right now."
Catelyn asked suspiciously, "Why would he look for you? Are you collaborators?"
Petyr looked at Catelyn and said, "Perhaps because of our relationship."
Catelyn could feel the hidden passion in Petyr's eyes and quickly avoided his gaze, deliberately changing the subject, "Does he know why I came to King's Landing?"
"I'm not sure. Perhaps he knows, or perhaps he's as clueless as I am." Petyr shook his head and said, "To be honest, I'm also very curious why you've come to King's Landing at this time. You know your husband is currently cleaning up the mess left by the previous Prime Minister, and he's offended quite a few people recently. Many are waiting to see him get into trouble. You coming to King's Landing now is simply handing a knife to those hidden enemies."
Catelyn gritted her teeth and said, "I miss my husband and my daughter very much, so I came to King's Landing to see him. Is there anything wrong with that?"
