Catelyn冒险来到King's Landing的目的之一就是想打探关于刺杀Bran这把匕首的信息。
虽然已经很小心的不暴露身份,可是King's Landing的little birds早就嗅到她的踪迹,所以一到客栈还没来得及休息,就被带到昔日青梅竹马的小伙伴这里。
大名鼎鼎的小指头Littlefinger登场,他官方的头衔是Lord Baelish。
当Catelyn得知找她的是谁时,往事即刻涌现眼前。
Littlefinger是Catelyn父亲的养子,Littlefinger是她的哥哥Edmure给他起的名字:
Because his family’s modest holdings were on the smallest of the Fingers, and Petyr had been slight and short for his age.
Catelyn和小指头从小一起长大,当Catelyn被许配给Brandon Stark时,小指头要求比武,谁赢了才能和Catelyn结婚。不过小指头输了,从此离开了Catelyn家。
当Brandon被杀害后,小指头又再一次写信给Catelyn,可是那时她已经得知Ned会代替他哥哥和她结婚。
缘分这个东西就是那么难受人控制。
当Catelyn再次站在昔日的爱慕者面前,她的感觉是:The years had not changed him much.
Petyr had been a small boy, and he had grown into a small man, an inch or two shorter than Catelyn, slender and quick. He had been a sly child, but after his mischiefs he always looked contrite; it was a gift he had.

同时,小指头还介绍了一位他朝堂上的同事给Catelyn,就是这为同事的眼线提前得知了Catelyn的到来:
King's Landing的头号特务登场
Lord Varys was plump, perfumed, powdered, and as hairless as an egg. He wore a vest of woven gold thread over a loose gown of purple silk, and on his feet were pointed slippers of soft velvet.
这两位仁兄的共同目的就是把匕首嫁祸给了Tyrion.
细节更动人
建立在尸骨之上的King's Landing:
Aegon the Conqueror had commanded it built. His son Maegor the Cruel had seen it completed. Afterward he had taken the heads of every stonemason, woodworker, and builder who had labored on it. Only the blood of the dragon would ever know the secrets of the fortress the Dragonlords had built, he vowed.
