Lucia Targaryen Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Cersei has hated Tyrion literally since the day he was born, blaming him for their mother's death. Then at 10 she heard Maggy's valonqor prophecy. She also killed Melara because of it. So why not kill him as well? Tyrion was only 3 at that time. Couldn't she have snuck into his room and smothered him with a pillow or something? I doubt Tywin would have done a thorough investigation. Then Maggy's prediction about Cersei's husband came true, that she would marry the king not the prince. Surely when Tyrion was in King's Landing she could have arranged for poison to be slipped into his wine or something. Robert wouldn't have cared about Tyrion's death one way or another.

Tywin Manderly Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 It is a combination of various factors which prevented Cersei from killing Tyrion. Cersei thought she had forestalled the prophecy by killing Melara so killing Tyrion would not be necessary. In addition there is the taboo on kinslaying Also, in the event that Tyrion would get killed, Tywin and Jaime would not leave a single stone unturned in order to catch the killer and/ot the one ordering the killing. Jaime would do so out of love and Tywin for the honour of House Lannister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucia Targaryen Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 I highly doubt that Cersei cares about kinslaying. Also there are plenty of ways to kill someone and make it look natural. Remember how many different kinds of poison Pycelle had? For example why not use Tyrion's famous drinking habit and make it seem like alcohol poisoning?

Tywin Manderly Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Even if it looked like a alcohol poisoning Tywin or Jaime would still order an examination of Tyrion's body by a maester and given the knowledge that maesters have about poisons foul play would soon enough be established.
