Aegon + Cersei theory?

I have a theory about Cersei and Aegon. I think Aegon's invasion and threat towards Kings Landing will be what prompts Cersei to try to flee with Tommen towards Casterly Rock.



Someone asked earlier what Cersei's reaction to Aegon coming back would be. I think it would be extreme fear, if he takes over the Stormlands. She knows most of the Lannister troops are in the Riverlands, and she believes the faith militant and Tyrells unreliable protectors. The City Watch are just glorified policemen.



I think she may fear that Kings Landing will fall, and her and Tommen will suffer a repeat of "Elia and her children." Makes sense. If she were in Aegons situation, she would do that to her as well.



People keep talking about Cersei eventually burning down kings landing with Wildfire. I believe she will do that just as she, Tommen and a few others leave Kings Landing. Sort of a parting shot to the small folk and other who took delight in her "Walk of Shame" and a form of spiting Aegon. "Let Aegon be king of ash and cooked meat!" she'd think, probably congratulating herself on being "more of a man" than King Aerys and having the "guts" to do what he couldn't.



I assume she makes to Casterly Rock, since GRRM confirmed we will see it.



Will Aegon's threat be what prompts her to flee?

Well, I'm more down with JonCon's theory. She mentioned to Sansa the possibility of her seducing Stannis. In a similar situation, Cersei didn't flee KL during the Battle of the Blackwater.

Cersei is crazier now, and she has fewer soldiers and Tyrion helping her. Still. Twin would not flee so she probably would not either. She is after all Tywin with tits
