Summary
Sansa Stark begins to wonder if she should improve her act in front of Joffrey. What would she gain if she pretended to forgive him? The Hound had already suggested that this would bring more benefits than the veiled disdain she tries to hide. Perhaps, if Sansa could believe her own lies while telling them, she could make Joffrey believe them too — even if those words made her feel sick inside.
Joffrey, blinded by his own ego, couldn’t bear the thought of being despised, unable to grasp that his behavior justified Sansa’s hatred. And what if her uncle Tyrion was right? If she could find an ally in the streets of King's Landing and escape at the first opportunity? Maybe Joffrey should have tried to win her loyalty instead of intimidating her with fear. Sansa is ready to manipulate him — but he has his own plans as well.
In a game where both are pawns and players, who will fall first?
