Already burdened with having to take care of her family, Scarlet now finds herself being forced to listen to the many reasons why her marriage failed.

Leonard sighed while Tyrion shook his head.

"A day. Tell us when we can expect good news and if you say the future again, I will bury you where you stand," Elijah threatened Ian. "It is quite obvious that you two share the same room. I will not have you get my granddaughter pregnant without marrying her first. Respect her to do it the right way. I won't have it happen again."
