She trusts a knight to stand by her when her hired swords start deserting. I do not mean for him to have us alive."Ī knight. "Stannis may take the city and he may take the throne, but I will not suffer him to judge me. "He's here for us, he says," the queen said. Would you like to hear the truth, Sansa? Would you like to know why he's really here?" "When you asked about Ser Ilyn earlier, I lied to you. After all, who does Cersei turn to during a siege? After all, highborn women trust Darkstar very easily. With him playing the Tywin role and Darkstar in his service, it's a pretty safe bet Darkstar will be sent to do the deed itself. Seems like JonCon is fine with accepting the name of butcher.
“I failed the father,” he said, “but I will not fail the son.” So Robert escaped me and cut down Rhaegar on the Trident. I wanted the glory of slaying Robert in single combat, and I did not want the name of butcher. He was not wrong, Jon Connington reflected, leaning on the battlements of his forebears. He would have burned that town and every living creature in it. “Lord Tywin would not have bothered with a search.
“There is where you’re wrong,” Myles Toyne had replied. “Tywin Lannister himself could have done no more,” he had insisted one night to Blackheart, during his first year of exile.
Now, with a Targaryen army descending upon a Lannister king and his mother, one wonders if the enemy commander will sink to Tywin's level. He kills the child and rapes her with the child's blood still on his hands, then kills her too. As the city is sacked, enemy commander Tywin Lannister orders the false knight Gregor Clegane to seek out the queen. The husbandless queen Elia refuses to leave her son Aegon's side. Ever since she became queen, Cersei has known how the game of thrones ends for her.Īt the end of Robert's rebellion, a Lannister army descended upon the Targaryen king in King's Landing. Then, despite his brutality, Gregor Clegane is raised up and rewarded by the Lannisters, and used extensively by Cersei Lannister in her time as queen. Tywin Lannister himself unleashed Gregor Clegane on the last queen how else would Cersei rationalize her father's actions other than simply calling it the way of war? Elia Martell, a woman Cersei desparately resented becoming queen, is raped and killed by Gregor Clegane. Why is Cersei so casual about rape? Because she wants to shock Sansa - she resents her idealism and naievete. "These are women, unarmed, and gently born." And you should never rule out mutilation, torture, and murder at times like these." But if Maegor's Holdfast should fall before Stannis can come up, why then, most of my guests are in for a bit of rape, I'd say. Then I can go to the walls and offer to yield to Lord Stannis in person. "If I'm not betrayed by my own guards, I may be able to hold here for a time. "You'd like that, wouldn't you?" Cersei did not wait for a denial. She's resentful of her own helplessness she wishes she could fight. Helpless to assist in the battle, she retreats with the other women. Let's go back to the Battle of Blackwater, one of Cersei's most powerless moments.
But I think Darkstar will go farther than that - after all, GRRM wants to prove to you guys that he's not a lame villain, right? This is good news for Aegon and company - they need a child murderer in their service right about now. So in a previous post I argued that Darkstar Dayne will steal Dawn, call himself the next Sword of the Morning, and join Aegon's Kingsguard.
