Jaime tarries in Darry to confront his cousin Lancel. He finds a man lost to his faith, a faith that has taken up arms with relish. Mackelly and Simon consider converting.
Chapter Review:
Jaime Lannister finds Darry being rebuilt but still scarred by recent wars. His uncle Kevan has left, having quarreled with Lancel after the wedding of Lancel to Amerei Frey - heir to Darry.
Jaime encourages his squire Peck to make a move with the freed girl Pia - between whom a romance has bloomed. Jaime advises the young lad to seek her permission and to treat her kindly. At dinner Amerei Frey-Darry-Lannister beseeches Jaime to stay and protect Darry from the wolves and brigands that plague the region. Jaime demurs, but others are willing to help.
Jaime finds Lancel in the sept where he doesn’t eat, but does sleep. Lancel confesses all his crimes, including the fact that he already confessed those crimes to the former High Septon. His new plan is to set aside Amerei and to return to King’s Landing as a member of the Faith Militant. Jaime cannot understand why anyone would give up all Lancel has, but Lancel points out that Jaime did.
Jaime spars with Ilyn Payne and unburdens his own crimes to the mute. He slept with Cersei over King Robert’s drunken body, right here in this castle. The executioner just laughs.
