"Changing sides? Lord Tywin wants us to betray the king?"
The messenger nods curtly and lowers his voice. "No one can know. King Aerys must believe we are loyal right up until the moment we turn."
"I will convince the king that the Lannister army is his only salvation."
Lord Tywin doesn't think the king can hold the city?"
"The rebels are strong, the smallfolk have turned against the king and his only heir is little Viserys," the messenger whispers. "His rule is ended."
"I will make sure that the gate guards let Lord Tywin in, whatever the king orders."
