Watching the enormous army marching north again, Cersei clenched her fists and looked at her daughter, who was still sad and disheartened by the rumors, her head bowed.
Recalling this, a somber expression reflected on her face for a moment before disappearing. She smiled gently and spoke in an animated tone. "I had the cooks make your favorite cakes."

Cersei couldn’t help but be horrified remembering when she heard what happened to her daughter; she hadn’t expected Myrcella to be so determined.
