In this reading we read about Tyrion able to win his trial. This was a trial by combat so you fight for your freedom or innocents. This is much better than being under Catelyn's sister's watch because she was crazy and would do anything to him. Another chapter is Dany's chapter where we see her hosting a huge feast to celebrate that she is pregnant. I thought it was super gross that they have a ritual to eat a raw horse heart, and whether she keeps it down tells the fate of the child. If she pukes it will be a failure. Luckily she is able to keep it down but just barely. Her brother comes in drunk and acting a fool swinging around a sword acting as if he should be king now and needs his crown. With this acting out they restrain him and end up killing him. Dany doesnt seem too upset and seems to have a settling thought, that he never could have been a dragon because he was killed from heat, and dragons cant do that. It seemed almost like closure for her I thought, she could finally look at her brother as he really was and see she was safe and better off. Ned is giving king power and doesnt use it wisely, and he also finds out due to hair color, that Joffery is not Robert's son by blood.  The more and more I read, I become a fan of Tyrion. At the beginning I thought he was evil and annoying and now the more and more I read I become a bigger fan. So the main thing I am paying attention to is what will happen to him. I also have gained so much respect for Dany. She seems strong and knows what she wants and will get it. She knows she has power and doesnt let that scare her she instead embraces that. I really want things to go well for her and am worried something bad will happen to her.
