Arya will cross Cersei off her list of names

Of course, “valonqar” is High Valyrian—meaning that it could be a gender neutral term, actually amounting to “the younger sibling.” We know a certain younger sibling who would relish the opportunity to take Cersei’s life before the series is through, and a girl has gained a face that will allow her to get close enough to follow through with it.

Another major theory surrounding Cersei’s demise is that Arya Stark, the younger of the two Stark sisters, will use Littlefinger’s face in order to deceive Cersei and kill her. Cersei has been high on Arya’s list of names for a while now, and Cersei, knowing Littlefinger’s constantly shifting allegiances, will likely allow him into King’s Landing—if only to hear what he has to say. Arya could take this opportunity to take down one of the Starks’ greatest enemies, and there’s a good chance that she will.

Euron Greyjoy will betray Cersei

Euron Greyjoy is just about the only ally that Cersei has left, and the last time we saw him, he was on his way to retrieve the Golden Company for his new queen. The thing is, Euron Greyjoy isn’t exactly the most trustworthy character the series has introduced us to. He killed his own brother in order to take control of the Iron Islands, and he handed his niece over to Cersei with the intention of killing her. It seems Euron will do anything for power, and that means his loyalty to Cersei is likely to disappear as soon as it’s no longer necessary.

If Euron does marry Cersei, he’ll likely kill her and take the Iron Throne for himself. Plenty of fans have predicted that’s his goal all along, and it could even fall in line with Maggy’s prophecy. Euron may not be Cersei’s younger brother, but he is Balon Grejoy’s younger sibling.
