Riverrun.

Tyrion watched cautiously the man with his back turned to his father at that moment, who kept his gaze on the window of Harrenhal with a cup of wine in his hand.

If his father were a dragon, Tyrion was certain that right now he would be breathing fire and turning Harrenhal into what Aegon the Conqueror had not finished when he attacked the giant towers of this castle during the era of the conquest and unification of the Seven Kingdoms.

He would turn the entire place into molten stone, given the mood his father was in at that moment.

Tyrion had never seen his father so enraged.

He refused to make any jokes or even comment on the latest letters arriving — otherwise, he believed he would be thrown out the window by Tywin.

He truly believed that his father would kill him right then more than at any other time in his life.

Tywin had already reached his limit.

He squeezed the wine cup so hard that he managed to dent even the metal.

Briefly, he looked to the side and, with all the strength he could muster, he shouted.

"AAARGHH!"

Tyrion believed his father had become a true lion at that moment, as the cup hit the wall to his left.

The liquid splashed across that side of the room.

Tyrion immediately shrank back as he saw his father looking around angrily, thinking his end was near.

But Tywin only approached and slammed his hand hard against the table, as if trying to crack it.

Clearly, he didn't have the strength for that, but the impact was loud, making the wood on the desk vibrate with everything on top of it.

"How could this happen?" he growled with everything he had.

The last letter said that their vaults had been emptied within Casterly Rock.

And that infuriated him more than anything else — even though he had already received news about the destruction of two vassal castles of his lands.

One of them had been taken by the enemy, who had his leg cut in Riverrun, treated worse than an animal, and that same one was now missing.

Tyrion remained silent, clearly also quite disturbed by the news of the past few weeks.

He could imagine his father's rage.

Tywin Lannister was the most powerful man in Westeros, but now he had become a joke.

A man of misfortune, with many events going against him, adding to the defeats he had suffered at the hands of Robb Stark and the capture of Jaime.

He knew his father didn't keep the entire monetary base of the House within that vault, but there had been a significant amount there — at least half of the entire Lannister fortune — and suddenly, it had magically disappeared without anyone seeing anything else about the gold.

Stolen by the one now being called an evil sorcerer.

It was Joy Hill who saw him and mentioned his appearance, and soon the castle was thrown into chaos upon learning that the vault had been robbed.

Tyrion was beginning to understand the fear his brother had felt after that mysterious man spoke with him in Winterfell.

The one who was later revealed to be Jon Snow.
