The room was silent for a moment before the Lannister brothers recovered from their worry about Tywin's change in character.
Tyrion got up, took another bottle of wine from the nearby wine cabinet, and also got a glass for Jaime.
He poured a glass for himself and Jaime, then said, "You certainly didn't come to tell me about Father's change, or that you plan to inherit Casterly Rock, so speak! What do you need my advice on?"
Jaime picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and said, "I want your help to save Cersei."
"Impossible!" Tyrion shook his head directly, saying, "If Lynd wasn't involved, this matter would be easy; we'd just need to ask House Tyrell, and at worst, give up some benefits.
But when Garlan Tyrell made his request, he anticipated that we would plead afterward, which is why he added an extra condition, making Lynd a witness.
Now it's not about whether we agree or whether Cersei should become a Redemption Sister; Lynd must fulfill his duty as a witness and take Cersei to the Redemption Sanctuary."
A look of determination appeared on Jaime's face as he said, "It seems the only way is to wait for Cersei to reach the Redemption Sanctuary, then find a way to rescue her."
"Rescuing someone from the Redemption Sanctuary? What idiot gave you such a terrible idea?" Tyrion looked surprised, turning to Bronn, who was observing from the side, and asked, "You? Bronn, did you come up with this terrible idea for my brother?"
"Of course not me." Bronn quickly shook his head, saying, "Do you think I'm the kind of person to come up with such a terrible idea?"
Then, he couldn't help but complain to Jaime, "If you want to commit suicide, don't use this method.
Rescuing someone from the Redemption Sanctuary? You might as well jump directly from the Walls of King's Landing; it would be a quicker death."
Jaime looked at the two of them in confusion, saying, "Is there a problem with rescuing someone from the Redemption Sanctuary? Why are you both acting like this?"
"Is there a problem? Of course there's a problem; it's no different from seeking death." Tyrion stood directly on a stool, looking at Jaime, and said, "Not to mention how terrifying the Stone Giant guards of the Redemption Sanctuary are, even without them, the monks inside the Redemption Sanctuary are all Chosen of God.
Every Chosen of God is a hundred-to-one elite warrior, and the Redemption Sisters of the Redemption Sanctuary nunnery and the Silent Monks of the Silent Monastery are all monstrously powerful warriors.
On our way back from the Vale, Bronn and I saw a ten-person team of Silent Monks and Redemption Sisters facing nearly a thousand Riverlands rebels, reaping their lives like harvesting wheat.
In the end, only a few dozen escaped, and those monks and sisters didn't even have a scratch on their armor.
And you want to rescue someone from the stronghold of these monstrous warriors? How is that any different from seeking death?"
Jaime froze in place, muttering, "He's lying to me! He's lying to me!"
Seeing Jaime's reaction, Tyrion immediately understood who had told Jaime to rescue someone from the Redemption Sanctuary.
He didn't know how to comfort his brother, so he could only sigh, reach out, and pat Jaime's shoulder in comfort.
After seeing Jaime's expression improve slightly, he said, "It's best you don't get involved with Cersei's situation.
There's no turning point for her, unless Lynd... no, given Lynd's character, he won't change his mind, even if you and I both plead with him."
Bronn suddenly spoke, "Perhaps you could ask Queen Nymeria of Lorath.
I heard Lynd loves his wife very much; if his wife pleads for Queen Cersei, perhaps Lynd will let her go."
Jaime's eyes lit up, thinking this was a solution, but Tyrion shook his head and said, "Not to mention the time it would take to travel from here to Ny Sar, even if you reached Ny Sar, Queen Nymeria would absolutely not agree to such a condition."
Seeing no chance of a turnaround, Jaime looked dejected and lost interest in staying at Tyrion's residence.
He got up and left, preparing to return to the Red Keep to spend more time with Cersei.
As Jaime was leaving, Tyrion called out to Bronn, keeping him behind.
"How is Shae?" When only the two of them remained, Tyrion asked cautiously, "You've sent her away safely, right?"
"Don't worry, I saw her board the ship with my own eyes." Bronn nodded affirmingly, then asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with you?
You didn't let me send her away even when the war was so intense, but now that the war has subsided, you insist I send her away, and you said such cruel things.
Do you know how desperate she looked when she left? I couldn't bear to watch."
"Because I don't want her to become the next Tessa." Tyrion also said with sadness, "My father already knows about her existence.
I need to get her to a safe place before the old man acts, otherwise she will... leaving is good for her and for me."
"What do you plan to do next? Just stay locked up here?" Bronn asked, concerned, "If you want to escape, I can help."
"You help?" Tyrion raised an eyebrow, looking at Bronn askance, and said, "I can't pay your fee right now!"
Bronn tilted his head back and said, "This time it's free.
Aren't we friends? Besides, if you hadn't knighted me as Baron of Duskendale beforehand, forcing Duke Tywin to acknowledge the appointment, I'd still just be a sellsword.
How can I not offer you one free service?"
Tyrion thought for a moment, then shook his head, saying, "Forget it, even if I ran, where would I go?"
Bronn reminded him, "You could go to Summerhall! I remember you saying that Prince Linde values you highly and has invited you to serve at Summerhall more than once."
"Summerhall?" Tyrion showed a look of contemplation, then shook his head again, saying, "Forget it, I'll stay in King's Landing! If I went to Summerhall, I..."
Just as the two of them were talking, his squire, Podrick, rushed in from outside, shouting as he ran, "Bad news, bad news! My lord, bad news!"
"Stop! Stop! Catch your breath first, then tell me what's wrong?" Tyrion ordered Podrick.
Podrick steadied himself, took a few deep breaths, and after calming down slightly, said, "You've been accused! Someone has accused you of attempting treason during the city's defense, trying to hand King's Landing over to Stannis."
