![]() Shae tells Sansa to escape while she still can. ![]() Cersei realizes that Shae is new and questions her origins. Sansa and Shae take refuge in Maegor's Holdfast during the battle, hosted with the women of the court by Cersei. She has an awkward public goodbye with Tyrion, who is careful not to acknowledge their relationship. When the bells sound the arrival of the attacking force she goes to the Throne Room with Sansa. Tyrion tells her that she could flee but she asserts her loyalty to him. Shae spends the night before the Battle of the Blackwater in Tyrion's bed. Tyrion is overjoyed that Shae is safe, as she has come to be important to him. Unbeknownst to her Queen Cersei has imprisoned and threatened the prostitute Ros mistakenly believing that she is Tyrion's current lover, in revenge for Tyrion's diplomatic use of her daguhter, Myrcella, and his arrangements for Joffrey to fight in the thick of battle. Shae is bemused when Tyrion rushes in especially tender and protective with her and wanting to exchange words of love, "I am yours, and you are mine. Shae attempts to help her flip the matress over, even threatening Bernadette into silence when she walks in on them, but they are discovered by the Hound. Shae discovers Sansa trying to conceal evidence of her first period (since it means she is ready to bear Joffrey's children). Sansa comes to trust Shae and confides her hatred of King Joffrey after she is injured and almost raped in the Riot of King's Landing, although Shae herself warns her to trust no-one. Shae becomes increasingly fed up at her confinement and Tyrion arranges for her to serve as a handmaiden to the captive Sansa. Shae tells Varys that Tyrion met her when she was employed in his father's kitchens. Varys discovers Shae's presence and subtly threatens Tyrion with the information. Shae accompanies Tyrion to King's Landing and he installs her secretly in the Tower of the Hand. Tyrion brings Shae to the Tower of the Hand. Tyrion complains about his father to Shae, then decides to defy his order, much to her delight. Tywin forbade Tyrion taking Shae to court.

Shae's response is that he should have known she was a whore, as a girl doesn't invite another man into her bed after almost being raped, before going to bed with him. When Tywin Lannister found out, he had the marriage annulled and had the girl gang-raped by his guards. When Tyrion was 16, he fell in love and secretly married a young wheelwright's daughter whom he helped protect from two rapists, but the girl turned out to be a prostitute hired by Jaime to make a man of him. ![]() Shae deflects Tyrion's questions and learns about his past instead, particularly the incident involving his marriage to Tysha. He seems more on the mark when he talks of her ambitions until he gets to the part of saying she was low born, she indicates he is wrong, thus she was not low-born. ![]() Tyrion tells her that he thinks her mother was a whore and her father deserted them, she says emphatically that he is wrong, and she doesn't want to speak of them. Tyrion later plays a drinking game with her and Bronn in an attempt to learn more about Shae's past, but she refuses to reveal specifics. He tells her he wants the truth, but also that he wants her to act as if she wants him and that it's their last night on earth together. She is attached to a ginger-haired Knight, but Bronn "persuades" him to give her up to Tyrion, who is fighting with the army of Lannister in the Riverlands. Shae is a camp-follower whom Bronn, a sellsword in the service of Tyrion, finds as Tyrion requests. Īt unspecified points in the past, Shae has been to Dorne and Volantis, and supposedly worked as a handmaiden for a Lady Zuriff.
