Options

Confront Lord Tywin over what you heard. What does he mean, the mines have run dry?

Lord Tywin Lannister

Tywin raises an eyebrow. "I should have your head removed for listening in on us. If I hear one whisper about this outside this room, I will."

Family

Assure Lord Tywin you will tell no one about his financial woes.

Apologize for what you overheard and ask whether anyone else knows the bad news.

Lord Tywin Lannister

"No," Tywin says firmly. "And no one will. At least until Tommen and his heirs hold the throne without fear of Lannister power keeping them there."

Realm

Warn Tywin that it will be impossible to keep a secret this big for long.

Politely pretend not to have heard and make your report on Margaery.
