Chapter 74. What Happened to You, Lucian Red?

Cercei's POV

I found myself trapped in a claustrophobic glass cage for the entire night, and the discomfort had taken a toll on my back as severe pain lingered. The space was so cramped that I couldn’t even stretch out properly.

I wonder if he despises me now, does he?

Morning arrived, and they transferred me to a room below ground level without any windows. Though still far from ideal, it’s a better improvement over the dreadful cage.

Doubts about this plan had been creeping into my head even before its execution, but now my hope has completely dwindled. Lucian hasn’t bothered to visit me since his guards dragged me here.

I half-expected a furious rant, or perhaps I’m just being too self-absorbed. Was he hurt when I left? Because I certainly was, and my heart pains at the thought that it meant nothing to him. Was he merely pretending?

Or could it be that capturing me was his plan all along, and he merely grew tired of pursuing me physically?
