But the singer wishes to join the tournament of singers that will take place during <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Joffrey_Baratheo…; rel="nofollow">Joffrey</a>’s wedding. He blackmails Tyrion by indicating that he will tell about his relation with <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Shae"; rel="nofollow">Shae</a>. Tyrion promises him that one of the other singers will be removed, and <a href="awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Bronn"; rel="nofollow">Bronn</a> will visit him in three days' time.
