7 Hints That Cersei Will Die On Game Of Thrones
2. Tywin Is Dead
With Tywin dead and gone and Jamie off in Dorne, Cersei has been left pretty alone in King's Landing; she hasn't exactly done a great job in their absence.
Tywin protected and advised Cerse: she may not have really listened to him, but he was there to protect her and as the Hand of the King he was hell bent on maintaining everything he could for his family. Cersei has taken his Small Council and turned it into a tiny circus of useless clowns.
The Small Council was stocked with some useful players when Tywin was alive- Tyrion, Varys, and Littlefinger, though not perfect, were at least skilled in their respective jobs. Cersei changed all that. So far she has made Mace Tyrell, a lovable but bumbling man, the dual position of Master of Coin and Master of Ships before promptly sending him away on a mission to Braavos, just to spite Margaery. She then insulted her Uncle Kevan by refusing to offer him an actual position.
Qyburn, a disgraced former maester has been made Master of Whisperers, in Varys' place. He has also been handed creepy Grand Maester Pycelle's laboratory, a move that will likely lose her Pycelle's steadfast loyalty.
Cersei's final stupid move was taking on the position of, Hand of the King. She is not very savvy at making unbiased decisions and she really only took the task on so that she could manipulate Tommen by speaking for him. Cersei has now unwillingly placed all of that responsibility solely on her spiteful and unprotected shoulders.
