But, what also left so many fans scratching their heads was; who actually left the infamous cup on the table?

"We had like a party before the Emmys recently, and Conleth, who plays Varys, who's sitting next to me in that scene, he pulls me aside and he's like, 'Emilia, I've got to tell you something. I've got to tell you something, love. The coffee cup was mine!'

"It was his! It was Conleth's coffee cup. He said so." So basically, Varys did it.
