"Cousin," Tyrion greeted him.
“堂弟！”提利昂跟他打招呼，
"Your visits are too few. To what do I owe this undeserved pleasure?"
“你真是稀客。请问有何贵干呢？”
"Her Grace the Queen Regent has sent me to command you to release Grand Maester Pycelle."
“摄政太后陛下命我前来，要你即刻释放派席尔大学士。”
Ser Lancel showed Tyrion a crimson ribbon, bearing Cersei's lion seal impressed in golden wax.

"I hope my sister is not overtaxing her strength, so soon after her illness.

It would be a great pity if she were to suffer a relapse."

"Her Grace is quite recovered," Ser Lancel said curtly.
“太后陛下业已康复，”蓝赛尔简略地说。
"Music to my ears." Though not a tune I'm fond of.

I should have given her a larger dose.

Will you take a cup with me, Lancel?

I find that mulled wine helps me sleep."
我发现温酒有助于睡眠呢。”
"I need no help sleeping," Ser Lancel said.
“我可不需要睡眠，”蓝赛尔说，
"I am come at Her Grace's behest, not to drink with you, Imp."
“我代表陛下前来宣令，不是来跟你喝酒的，小恶魔。”
Knighthood had made the boy bolder, Tyrion reflected—that, and the sorry part he had played in murdering King Robert.
哟，骑士称号让这小子肆无忌惮，提利昂寻思——还有他在谋杀劳勃国王一事中扮演的可悲角色。
"Wine does have its dangers." He smiled as he poured.
“酒喝多了自然伤身。”他一边倒酒一边微笑，
"As to Grand Maester Pycelle... if my sweet sister is so concerned for him, I would have thought she'd come herself.
“至于派席尔大学士……如果我亲爱的姐姐真那么在乎他，似乎该亲自前来，
Instead she sends you. What am I to make of that?"
但她却派了你。对此，我怎么理解呢？”
"Make of it what you will, so long as you release your prisoner.

She reminds you that she is Joffrey's regent."

"As I am Joffrey's Hand."
“而我是乔佛里的首相。”
"The Hand serves," the young knight informed him airily.
“御前首相专心服务，”年轻骑士轻描淡写地告知他，
"The regent rules until the king is of age."
“摄政太后统理国事，直到国王成年为止。”
"Perhaps you ought write that down so I'll remember it better."
“或许你该把这写下来，以免我记不住。”
The fire was crackling merrily.
炉火欢快地噼啪作响。
