Cersei learns that Dragonstone has fallen but that Loras has paid with his life - or at least he lies at death’s door. She delights in sharing this news with Margaery - who is stricken, but remains hopeful. Cersei dreams of her childhood run-in with Maggy the Frog and the details of the woman’s terrifying prophecy. Simon and Mackelly probably should have seen this coming.

Chapter Review:
Queen Cersei Lannister learns from Aurane Waters that Dragonstone has fallen but that Loras led the assault to his doom. He was grievously wounded multiple times and lies unconscious beyond the skill of any maester to heal. Cersei is delighted. She carefully hides this as she shares the news with Margaery. The young queen is devastated, but latches on to the fact that Loras still lives and seems determined to seek to revive him.

More non-Tyrion dwarf’s heads are placed before her. The High Septon sends an emissary rather than himself to Cersei’s annoyance. The faith is trying to shut down the brothels on the Street of Silk also to Cersei’s, and every sailor’s, annoyance. Grand Maester Pycelle reports that Lord Gyles Rosby seems to be dying.

She dreams of her meeting with Maggy the Frog, the details of whose prophecy continue to come true (she did marry the king, she did become queen), which wouldn’t be a problem but the prophecy turns a lot darker after that: she’ll be replaced by a younger more beautiful queen, her three children will die, and the valonqar will choke the life from Cersei. She’d like to put a stop to that, and Qyburn thinks that she can.
