Tyrion remained inside as the maid with the water went out to give it to Tabitha.
A single scream announced that the former queen was dead, and servants started to flock to where she sat.
Tyrion stopped the butler just before he could exit the door. "Send for a doctor and my parents. The two of us must keep ourselves together to handle this matter quietly. It mustn't get out that something happened until the doctor tends to her. I will see what is wrong."
The butler nodded his head and walked away to do as he was told.
Tyrion walked out of the home to the crowd of weeping maids who were trying to get his grandmother to wake.
"Step away to allow her to breathe," Tyrion ordered the maids. He noticed the bit of blood seeping from her mouth.
The maids were startled by Tyrion's voice and stepped away to give him the privacy he was owed.
Tyrion sat down beside Tabitha and lifted her head to lie in his lap. He used his handkerchief to wipe her mouth.
