Chapter Twelve - Cersei 3 - A Feast for Crows | A Song of Ice and Fire (ASOIAF)

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)

It’s the royal wedding day and Cersei couldn’t be less thrilled. She’s in constant fear for Tommen’s safety, feels like the Tyrells are manipulating her, and is surrounded by fools. Plus, a long ago prophecy keeps coming to mind. Only one activity brings her any joy in the day, and it’s quite the doozy. Simon and Mackelly remembered to pack their sunglasses and stand in the back.
Chapter Review:
Queen Cersei Lannister hopes for a storm to rock the Red Keep to its base. Her youngest son gets married today, and Cersei is taking no pleasure in the fact. Young King Tommen will marry his older brother’s widow, and Cersei thinks it’s much too soon. Ser Jaime Lannister has taken every precaution imaginable to protect Tommen, but it’s not enough for Cersei. She can’t help but recall a prophecy told to her as a child by a fortune teller, where a beautiful young queen will cast her down and take all she holds dear.
When Tommen briefly chokes on wine during the wedding feast, it’s more than Cersei can bear. She leaves the hall to cry in private. However, Taena Merryweather finds her and says Cersei’s made is a Tyrell spy. Cersei is skeptical of the Myrish beauty, who is one of Queen Margaery’s ladies. However, she promises a reward if Taena is telling the truth.
Back in the Small Hall, Cersei surveys the room and decides it’s full of imbeciles, including her brother Jaime. Everyone will need to be replaced by her own people. When she’s called “the old queen” one too many times, Cersei asks for everyone to follow her outside. When the masses are gathered, she has the Tower of the Hand set aflame by wildfire. She hopes to smoke out her brother Tyrion, and remove the taint of the previous Hands of the King, especially her father. As everyone leaves for bed, Cersei sends Jaime away in favor of Ser Osmund Kettleblack.
