①I once thought that Shireen's father was different from her mother. Her father Stannis loved her daughter, even if she was infected with grayscale, but Celis was not worthy of the status of "mother", she did Give Shireen enough, even deserved love, and all I see is her neglect, disappointment, and indifference to Shireen.
However, in the end, Stannis listened to the red robe woman's suggestion to sacrifice her daughter to the Lord of Light. When Celis heard Shireen shouting "mama" in horror, she couldn't bear it any longer and pushed her away. The layers of soldiers ran to Shirin on the stake, but they failed to get close after all. They could only fall in despair in the snow and listen to the screams of their daughter from sharp to low, and then to silence.
I think it's not that Celis doesn't love her daughter, it's just that she was a dodder of that era, weak and cowardly, attached to a noble family in her boudoir, and a noble husband when she married. It's not so much that she is disappointed with Shirin, it is better to say that she is disappointed with herself, for her failure to take good care of Shirin, so that she contracted grayscale at a young age, and for her failure to raise a qualified person for her husband. The princess, beautiful and healthy, takes her father's belief as her belief... She is disappointed, suffering, but unable to change all this, so she can only numb herself cowardly, neglect her daughter, and desperately follow her husband to believe in the Lord of Light.
But motherhood is the most shocking emotion in the world. No matter how well she pretends to be, she can deceive everyone but herself. Shirin's cry before she died easily broke the shackles that she had put on herself for many years. One second she was still calmly comforting herself and comforting her husband, "This is the best result", the next second "It can't be like this" but She blurted out, she didn't care what belief, what the King of Light, or what battle situation, she just wanted to save her daughter, even if it was her own life in exchange... Then she failed. When I saw this, I thought, this character must be offline. Sure enough, not many shots were taken, Celis was hanged alone in the jungle, and her husband just ordered the burial with a sad face, not much different from when Shirin died.
② How did Cersei and her brother become an open secret in the Seven Kingdoms? Everyone in the world knew that the two brothers and sisters had an affair. Even the little princess Myrcella, who was far away in Dorne, calmly came with a heavy hammer to recognize her father. amused me. It's just a pity, Myrcella got a nosebleed when she finished speaking. After the cards are shown, there is a lunch box, so if you have a secret, you can't tell it, and you have to hang up after you tell it. These are all routines.
What a nasty chaotic world, no one can be spared, but Myrcella has to pay for her mother with her life. Even Cersei herself said that her daughter was the kindest and purest. She couldn't believe that someone like her could give birth to such a good girl, a girl like an angel. It is sad that such a beautiful and gentle little princess died like this. She has been floating as an exotic duckweed for many years. When you parted in the city of King's Landing, it was a goodbye. In this life, there will be no chance to set foot on an inch of homeland.
