I just don't see TideSaints driving point here. I'm legitimately confused.


My point is that Cersei was dismayed with having to choose from Blount and Moore as her champion, seeing as she was happy that they were Margaery's only chances against Osney, and only got relief when she found out Arys was killed.

Her joy of Margaery's impending doom was due to the incompetence of the remaining KG members. She gets arrested and realizes that she is in the same boat. She never once speculates that her champion will face anyone other than Osney.

Would Margaery not be faced with the same opponent? Why would Cersei be so happy before her arrest if not because she knew that Osney would defeat Blount and Moore therefore condemning Margaery? The same logic applies to her. Margaery would still fall under the accusations of the Faith, but her opponent would be her actual accuser, Osney.

I think some of you are going off too many unproven theories as opposed to actually taking the books at their words.

Margery will not choose a champion as she will face a traditional trial.

And Cersei is insane with no clue how the world around her works.....

Because Osney is not the one bringing the charges forth against Cersei or Margery. The Faith is the one issuing the charges with the witness of Osney Kettleback. Cersei has effectively handed the Faith more power than the king, they choose who represents their cause and thats all there is to it. How you have gathered otherwise is beyond me.

I think you are missing the small fact that Cersei is almost always wrong.

She may think that, as stated in her POV, but she is sadly mistaken and delusional about how the whole thing is going down. She has no idea.

Fudge! Cotton beat me to the punch on this.
