That's true. However, in one of her chapters (I think it's in AFFC) she thinks about who would be her champion and all she has is Blount and Moore. She says that Osney Kettleblack would kill both of them due to their incompetence. That's why she is so excited when she learns that Oakheart was killed.


It's when she's still in her cell I believe. Before the Walk of Shame. Qyburn naming Robert Strong was after that.

I'm not doubting you or anything. I'm just saying we probably didn't mention it much here (even though we definitely talked about WHO Robert Strong really is) because it seems a little bit of a moot point after it was acknowledged he would be the champion for Ceresi after she thought about that.

I found it. AFFC Chapter 43. This is just the synopsis:

quote:

Cersei has Tommen sign some blank warrants, which she then affixes names to. Summoning Ser Osfryd, she orders him to arrest Ser Tallad, the Blue Bard, Hugh Clifton, Mark Mullendore, as well as the Redwyne twins whom she wants to be found innocent of the charges of bedding Margaery. The next morning, Cersei and Taena are carried by litter to the Great Sept. On the way, Lady Merryweather inquires, "What if Margaery demands that her innocence be determined by battle?" Cersei smiles, and replies that she must be championed by a knight of the Kingsguard, but since Ser Osmund is brother to one of her accusers, that leaves only Ser Meryn Trant and Ser Boros Blount. Cersei states that the former will not be feeling well when the time comes.


quote:

Hopeless despite Qyburn's words that his unbeatable "champion" is ready, Cersei knows that only a Kingsguard can defend her in a trial by combat.


I was off in the assumption that Cersei was speaking about herself when it came to being represented by the KG, she actually was talking about Margaery. However, this was before she was arrested too, so once she was she was feeling hopeless for the same reasons as she was feeling great about Osney beating Blount and Moore in their defense of Marg. Once she was arrested she realized that they had to defend her too.

Kevan gave her hope, and Robert Strong, once she found out Arys Oakheart was dead and Qyburn put Robert Strong on the KG.
