Tyrion Lannister suspects the affair and gets Lancel to admit to it, blackmailing him into spying on Cersei for him. Lancel is present for, and survives, the Riot of King's Landing. He fights in the Battle of Blackwater, though he is severly injured. For his services he is named the new Lord of Darry. During A Feast for Crows, Lancel takes his lordship of the lands of Darry and is ambivalent as to rumors of his new wife's promiscuity. Jaime visits Lancel at castle Darry and under questioning Lancel admits to having slept with Cersei as well as to having supplying Robert Baratheon with the strongwine. Shortly after Lancel leaves his wife and castle in order to swear service as part of the newly reformed Faith Militant.
