As if having to see her betrothed go against his word and have her father executed wasnt enough, Sansa still has to stick around the capital and feign loyalty to the new King. His first act of torment is to take her to a walkway around the castle walls that displays the heads of various traitors on spikes, and forces her to look at the decapitated head of her father. Joffrey comments that soon he may be putting Robb Starks head on a spike, and no longer able to hold her tongue she tells him that maybe itll be the other way round, with Sansa getting hit by Ser Meryn Trent for her trouble. Unfortunately for Sansa that was pretty mild compared to what was to come. She has to listen to Lannister plans to defeat and kill her brother Robb, and when the King Of The North wins a battle Joffrey has her stripped and beaten. When the people of Kings Landing turn on their King, it is Sansa who almost ends up being raped - saved in the end by The Hound. Following the Battle of Blackwater, Joffrey terminates his betrothal to Sansa so he can instead marry Margaery Tyrell. This is scant reprieve for Sansa, as while she may no longer be engaged to him, she is still his captive, without the little protection offered by being the future queen.
