Cersei gets a confession of Margaery’s wantonness from the Blue Bard. She will get the same from Ser Osney Kettleblack. The noose tightens around the young queen. Simon and Mackelly feel their throats constrict.
Chapter Review:
Queen Cersei Lannister blames Grand Maester Pycelle for the death of Ser Gyles Rosby. But leverages this anger to learn that Pycelle has been providing moon tea to Queen Maragery. At last something tangible she can use against her foe.
At dinner with the Merryweathers, she accuses the Blue Bard of sleeping with Tommen’s bride. He denies it until Qyburn works his magic. Then he sings a very different tune. If he can keep his story straight through a possible trial he’ll be allowed to take the Black.
Ser Osney Kettleblack is encouraged to confess the same crime to the High Septon. He agrees, but wants to actually sleep with a Queen so that his lie can have the ring of truth. Cersei obliges.
