"Why should we worry ourselves over a girl across the sea?" Cersei asked as she sipped a glass of red wine.
"My queen, Daenerys Targaryen has been gaining strength over these last few years," Qyburn said. "Not only is she now ruling over Meereen, but she has an army of Unsullied and Dothraki at her side. Not to mention three full grown dragons,"
"Dragons that have never set foot in Westeros,"
"Agreed, but that does not mean they can't. Should Daenerys continue to gain a following we must take certain precautions should she strike King's Landing,"
"Have you heard any whisperings of an impending attack?"
"No," Qyburn admitted, "Though we have learned she has united in marriage to Ser Jorah Mormont,"
"The exiled knight?" Jaime scoffed. "And what exactly does she hope to gain from that marriage?"
"Love, it would seem,"
"Love without an army doesn't win wars," Cersei said. "A foolish move on her part, and a true indication she is naïve,"
"Nevertheless, one must look at what Daenerys has gained in the past few years…not that it can be compared to what the Lannisters have accomplished," Qyburn quickly added.
"What do you propose we do then?" Cersei asked. "Preferably something that doesn't involve the Iron Bank once again,"
Qyburn's eyes glittered darkly. "Crossbows," he answered. "Very, very large crossbows,"
