Cersei's POV

How had it come to this she was Queen, she was the daughter to the great and feared Tywin Lannister and now she was locked in black cell stripped of all powers. Now to add to that torment she was on all fours being taken from behind by a guard, a nobody, just so she can get some food from them and see Joffery in the cell next to hers.

She was use to have long beautiful dresses but not all she had to protect her modesty was a thin linen sheet and worn like a tunic on her and came down to just above her knees, her arms and legs were bare.

It had been about a month since they had been thrown in cells, she had not seen her youngest children since that day, Joffery had been next to her cell since day one. For the first few days he had yelled in anger non-stop ordering them to release him as he was their king, screaming that he would have their heads for this. Then he just started crying and that was when Cersei had pleaded to be allowed to see her son but they had refused. She knew they could if they wanted to but why should they she had nothing to offer them, except one thing and that was why she opened her legs to them, to keep her son and herself from hunger and allow her to see him.

After a couple of weeks and a lot of bruises later she had been allowed to wash and see Joffery, who had been shaking nervously in the corner of the cell muttering to himself saying "I'm king they should let me go, why aren't the letting me go, I'm king." She had hugged him and held him close telling him everything was going to be okay then she was dragged away back to her cell.

As the guard finished with her he spoke.

"Your requests been granted, King Renly is on his way down. Get cleaned up."


She was brought out of the black cells for the first time in a month she could see real sunlight which hurt her eyes at first. She was brought to a small room somewhere in the keep, where stood a single chair and table.

The 2 guards flanked her as they force her on to her knees on the cold hard floor and they waited for what seemed like hours but must have been only about 20 minutes.

He walked in all trounced up in his green robes and waistcoat with a thin precious crown on his head looking so pleased and proud of himself.

"You requested an audience with me, I'm surprised you didn't ask sooner," he said smiling.

She hated that smug look on his face, she had been asking for weeks now but she knew to well the guards hadn't delivered her message till recently, maybe he knew that but as it was in this world if you had the power, you could do whatever you wanted as long as you could claim that you were oblivious to all that was going on underneath you. He probably knew about the guards but that was life is she told another lord what was going on, Renly would simply say he had no idea and would sort it and since he was the king he could get away with it.

"I am Queen, you should address me as such," she yelled angrily knowing it was fruitless but she wanted to show her defiance and that she was not yet broken.

"You are nothing but a whore who betrayed my late brother's trust and laid with your brother."

"Then what are you and Loras," she jested and she knew that point hit home.

"Well if you only came to insult me I can see we are done. Guards take her away."

She knew she had lost but she had more to discuss.

"My Lord please, "she begged, she looked up at him waiting for him to speak but he just stood there. She knew what he was waiting for, to show he had beaten and broken her it just took every muscle to spit those words off her tongue, "Your Grace," she conceded.

"Good you finally know how to address your betters, now what did you want to request from me," he queried.

"What is going to happen to me and Joffery?" she asked still kneeling on the floor dreading and already knowing the answer, while he sat in the chair looking all relaxed and smug.

"You will remain in the black cells until this war with your House is over, then you and Joffery will be put on trial and if found guilty will be executed along with anyone else we deem to have been involved in your plans."

"Charged with what?"

"You will be charged treason, conspiring to, and succeeding in killing the late king. Also the High septon wishes to charge you with Incest and adultery in your marriage to Robert. Joffery will also be tried with treason and trying to claim the throne for himself, when he has no right to it."

"I did not kill my husband, that was a boar," she tried hoping they had not found out.

Renly just laughed, "It's no use Cersei, Lancel already confessed, as soon as we through him into the Black cells he confessed, and he doesn't have a backbone that one. He told us how you seduced him and took him into your bed and gave him fortified strongwine that he was not use to on the hunt causing him to get injured by a boar.

Damm Lancel he would pay if she ever got out of this. "What about Myrcella and Tommen?"

"They won't be harmed as long as I am king I can tell you that, Tommen is going to be sent as a ward to Winterfell and when he is older I may make him take the Black or train to be a Maester and Myrcella will stay in King's Landing and be a maid to my future Wife Margaery Tyrell."

At that she was taken back to her where she would wait until her trial.

Was this the god's punishment for her and Jamie's love was this what they had caused, she should have taken Lord Stark's advice and fled to Essos but she had thought herself to cunning and sly to be beaten by that fool, oh how she was wrong.
