When Maekar flies to King's Landing, with Vira and Visenya, a huge chest is strapped to Cyrax's back, file with the gold he was to pay Sergio Delinaal. He sent the two women on ahead to King's Landing, and landed in a small village about five miles west of the city. There, he unloaded the chest from the dragon's saddle, and hired a wagon and it's driver, instructing the man to enter through the King's Gate at high noon. Maekar gave him ample payment, as well as enough money to pay the gate-fee, and marked the wagon with a black circle as Sergio had asked.
As the wagon rumbled toward King's Landing, containing the chest filled with gold, Maekar took to the air aback Cyrax, flying up to a height where he could still distinguish the wagon clearly, but it was not blatantly obvious that he was hovering over it.

Fortunately for Maekar, nobody challenges the wagon and its driver. But questions are asked when the man reaches the King's Gate and Maekar sees the poor man growing flustered. For a dreadful moment it seems like the guards are going to open the chest and all will be lost, but the driver is allowed to pass with his cargo intact. He then starts through the city streets but progress is slow and frustrating due to an unusual amount of people on the streets and the presence of Cyrax is pointed out by some people.
After a while, Maekar learns why the streets are so busy; a public hanging has been scheduled and the smallfolk are gathering to see the death of some unfortunates. But the cart gets through the crowd in the end and continues on its way.
