Sansa sits with Cersei as the queen gets both news of the battle and becomes increasingly drunk. Sansa's heart almost stops when Cersei says she knows of Sansa\\u2019s treasons in the godswood. Finally, Cersei reveals that Ser Ilyn Payne is there to remove their heads, if Stannis should take the castle. Simon and Mackelly scan the room for exits.

Chapter Review:
Sansa Stark sits next to Queen Cersei in the Queen\\u2019s Ballroom of Maegor\\u2019s Holdfast, along with the other highborn ladies. Osney and Osfryd Kettleblack bring updates regarding the battle. Both the King\\u2019s Gate and the Mud Gate are under attack. That\\u2019s too close for the queen\\u2019s comfort, as King Joffrey is at the giant trebuchets inside the Mud Gate. She commands that he be brought back inside Maegor\\u2019s Holdfast.

The two ladies pass the time by Cersei explaining what being a woman is really like to Sansa. Tears and feminine wiles are a woman\\u2019s weapons, she explains. She wishes she\\u2019d been trained to wield a sword, like her twin brother Jamie, so she wouldn\\u2019t have to sit here so helplessly. But, despite being the Queen Regent of the Seven Kingdoms, she has little power to do anything aside from sit here with the other frightened hens, who she has little respect for.

Sansa inquires about the plan, should the castle fall. Cersei says she will give herself over to Stannis, if Maegor\\u2019s Holdfast holds until he arrives. If it doesn\\u2019t, they\\u2019ll be in for a rough night. However, later she reveals that she\\u2019s kept Ser Ilyn Payne around in the event the castle falls. If that happens, Ser Ilyn will take their heads, yes Sansa\\u2019s too. Cersei will not have House Stark benefit from the fall of House Lannister.
