"Why are you talking to me? Did King Aerys send you?"
Varys smiles briefly. "Because men hear the words 'love' and 'beauty' and they lose their minds, my [lord/lady]. One more reason I'm glad I'm not a man."
A younger and thinner Varys sidles up to you as Prince Rhaegar places the crown of Love and Beauty of Lyanna Stark. "That was unwise."
"Rhaegar must have a political reason for this. He wouldn't take such risk for beauty."
"The prince has a wife, Elia Martell," Varys points out. "He'd have done better to show his favor to her. Not a woman betrothed to Robert Baratheon."
Lord Varys looks at you. "His Grace thinks nothing of you, my [lord/lady]. Only his son. Should he be proud of his achievements, or fear his popularity?"
"Why do you think the price chose Lady Lyanna and not his wife?"
