7 Hints That Cersei Will Die On Game Of Thrones
3. Her Prophecy Ended With Her Straight Up Dying
Maggy the Frog may have lacked dental hygiene skills but she was dead on with her predictions for Cersei. From the amount of children she would have, who she would marry, his bastard children and her fall from power; It's time to take swamp witch seriously all the way through.
The prophecy to young Cersei ended with Maggy saying:
"And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you"
So, even if you didn't know what "valonqar" means, that statement still translates to Cersei being choked to death. That alone seals her fate but it turns out that "valonqar" means "little brother" in High Valyrian. Who is is Cersei's little brother? Well technically both Tyrion and Jamie, as it's learned that during the twin's birth, Cersei was born first. This leads to two very interesting possibilities.
Tyrion is the obvious choice, after all they hate each other and Cersei has already attempted to have him killed. He has also shown his willingness to murder family when it is deemed necessary. It's completely believable that he would happily choke Cersei out.
The logistics of it would be something to see, but you shouldn't count it out.
Jamie would be the real twist. For him to kill Cersei, there would have to be some real solid necessity for it. She is on the road to madness, so killing her for the good of the kingdom would not be out of the realm of possibility. With a Frankenstein Mountain running around, Jamie may be left with only that choice at some point.
The other side of that coin is the mentioning of tears drowning her. If she has nothing left to live for with her children gone, a mercy killing may come from someone closest to her. Jamie would be a perfect candidate for this scenario as well.
