Lord Varys: I did what I did for the good of the realm.
Petyr Baelish: The realm? Do you know what the realm is? It’s the thousand blades of Aegon’s enemies. A story we agree to tell each other over and over till we forget that it’s a lie.
Lord Varys: But what do we have left once we abandon the lie? Chaos. A gaping pit waiting to swallow us all.
