   Summary

   At a royal dinner in the Red Keep, Otto Hightower lets his pride speak too loudly, and his manners fall too short.
   Unfortunately for him, Corlys Velaryon is listening.
   What begins as a quiet slight becomes a public lesson in humility, and by the time the Sea Snake is finished, the Hand of the King discovers that some men can strip away your dignity without ever raising a blade.
