| Text | - "An inquest?" The Queen looks intrigued. "That will set the gossips' tongues wagging. I'm afraid it will be quite humiliating for the Tyrells."
- Assure the queen you will say anything you must to protect the Lannister name.
- Warn the queen she is making dangerous enemies.
- Wonder whether Cersei is worried the High Sparrow will listen to rumors about her.
- The Queen considers. "Ser Loras's perversions are widely known. I don't think the High Sparrow will need our help to find them out."
- Wonder whether this will cause the Tyrells to abandon King's Landing.
- Say you will offer only your honest testimony, nothing that puts you in a bad light.
- "There are rumors of perversion about you as well," Septa Eleanor reminds Cersei, who retorts, "The High Sparrow will not listen to Stannis's lies."
- Ask Cersei what she wants you to say during the inquest.
- The queen scowls. "It can't go that far. We still need their men and their corn. It will be a fine line to see them brought down but not destroyed."
