Cersei learns of the attack on the Reach by the Iron Born and feels unmotivated to react. She gets a gift from Ser Loras, which leaves Cersei with a golden win-win opportunity. She has an unexpected drop-in by Falyse, whose husband has been killed by Bronn and also confessed Cersei’s plot. Qyburn is given instructions that Falyse should never see the light of day again. Finally, she tries to take Taena roughly, as Robert once did with Cersei, but she can’t get into it. Simon and Mackelly shudder at Falyse’s fate.
Chapter Review:
Queen Cersei Lannister sits in the shadow of the Iron Throne, as Queen Margaery Tyrell implores Cersei to take immediate action against the Iron Born, who have taken the Shield Islands. Cersei thinks it’s a plot by Stannis Baratheon to distract the Tyrell force from their siege at Storm’s End. She suggests the Tyrells deal with their own issue with what resources they have available. When Dragonstone falls, the Redwyne fleet can then sail home and defend the Reach. Ser Loras Tyrell offers to lead an assault on Dragonstone, to expedite a resolution. Cersei can’t believe her good luck. No matter the outcome of this assault, Cersei stands to come out a winner.
Falyse Stokeworth comes back to King’s Landing with bad news. Instead of stealthily assassinating Bronn, her husband challenged him to a joust. It went badly, and Ser Balman confessed to Cersei’s part in the plot before Bronn dispatched him. Cersei dispatches her failed conspirator to Qyburn.
Cersei shares a bed with Taena Merryweather and forces herself upon her new friend. When the younger woman submits, Cersei loses interest and sends her away.
