Early the next morning, Tyrion seeks out king Rhaegar, he find the monarch in his rooms and waits until the king addresses him so that he can enter the room.
"Good morrow, your grace", Tyrion says.
"Good morrow, Tyrion" king Rhaegar says. "What can I do for you this morning?"
"I have found out who poisoned my father", Tyrion says.
"Who?" King Rhaegar asks.
"Lady Alyana Estren, the viper's paramour", Tyrion says.
"Why? How do you know it was her?" King Rhaegar asks.
"To get at my family, to hurt my family, to hurt my brother", Tyrion says.
"What has your brother done to her?" King Rhaegar asks.
"My brother spurned her advances multiple times, and married your queen's sister" Tyrion says. "Lady Alyana tried getting my brother to bed her when we were young, but my brother always turned her down and ended up wedding and bedding your queen's sister"
"I see", king Rhaegar says. "What can we expect next from her?"
"In worst case that she tries something like again, to someone else who is close my brother, my nephews, my nieces, his wife or even me", Tyrion says.
"Let's hope not", king Rhaegar says.
"Send out orders for her arrest", Tyrion says.
"I will most certainly send out orders for her arrest", king Rhaegar says. "Send for the grand maester, tell him his king wishes to have letters sent out to order the arrest of lady Alyana of house Estern"
"Yes, your grace", Tyrion says, getting up from the table, opening the door and calling to servant to bring Pycelle to the king and to tell the grand maester to bring what he needs to write and send letters.

The old man arrives after a couple minutes, carrying ink, parchment, quills and the royal seal.
"The lord hand mentioned that you wished to have letters sent out to order the arrest of a young lady", grand maester Pycelle says.
"Yes, I wish to have letters sent out to order the arrest of lady Alyana of house Esten, the charges against her are attempted murder of lord Tywin Lannister, the hand's lord father", king Rhaegar says.
"I see, I will have the letters written and sent away at once", grand maester Pycelle says, starting to write the first letter.

Grand maester Pycelle writes the letters and excuses himself to have them sent out throughout the realm with some of the castle's swiftest birds.

When the letters have been sent, the grand maester go to check on Tywin, whom has gone to lay down again.
"Good morrow, lord Tywin, how are we feeling today?" Grand maester Pycelle asks.
"I'm well, grand maester, thank you", Tywin says. "A bit hungry"
"I'll tell the servants to bring you some food, what would you like?" Grand maester Pycelle asks.
"Thank you, grand maester, I would like some chicken soup, bread, butter, fruit and ale", Tywin says.
"I'll see to it that the servants brings that for you", grand maester Pycelle says before excusing himself to go tell the servants to bring lord Tywin the food he asked for.

Grand maester Pycelle leaves the room and turns to a servant passing by.
"Bring lord Tywin some food, he asked for bread, butter, fruit, chicken soup and ale", grand maester Pycelle says to a servant, the man hurriedly walks to the kitchens to bring the food for lord Tywin.

A couple minutes later, the servants arrive with the food with grand maester Pycelle in tow. The servants set up the food on a movable table so that Tywin can eat while in bed.

Tywin orders two servants to remain with him to tend to him. A couple minutes later, there's a knock on the door, Tywin gives one of the servants a nod to open the door.

In the doorway, lady Joanna stands with Jaime, Lyra and their children.
"Husband, I'm here with our son, our son's wife and our grandchildren", lady Joanna says.
"Come in, wife, the rest of you too, when did lady Lyra and the children arrive?" Tywin asks.
"Father sent for us when he was concerned about your health, grandfather, and we arrived as soon as we possibly could", Daemon says.
"Let me look at you, grandson, you have really grown into a fine young man", Tywin says, beckoning his eldest grandson over to him. "You look so much like your father, more so every time I see you"
"Thank you, grandfather", Daemon says.
"Gerion, let me have a look at you too", Tywin says, addressing his second grandson.
