Cersei Lannister wasnt the only one reluctant to sleep with the loathsome Euron Greyjoy.
The ambitious Euron wants more sex with Cersei, to be exact.
His demand is partly out of lust, partly to edge himself closer to the Iron Throne.

Cersei initially refuses (You want a queen?
), But after hearing Eurons combination of veiled threats and roguish charm, she agrees.
I kept saying, She wouldnt, she wouldnt, that she would keep fighting, Headey tells EW.
Euron actor Pilou Asbaek added that the matter was discussed quite a bit behind the scenes.
We had a lot of discussions, he said.
Would it be out of character for her to be with Greyjoy for power?
We discussed it so much that we almost ended up going, Maybe its too much.
Then we decided to try it out and see if it works.
Sometimes you have to show different sides of a character.
You have to surprise yourself as an actor but you also have to surprise yourself as a character.
Headey said that after she came around to doing the scene, she found a helpful perspective on it.
Theres something to play in all of it, Headey said.
Cersei is such the ultimate survivor in all of this.
She refuses to fall to her knees.
(Meaning Jaime.)
I think Dan and David just wanted to see me naked, he quips.
I was against it because Im half French, which means Im half Yeti.
I got the European look, you know what I mean?
Fans noted Cersei was drinking wine again, however, and have wondered how real her pregnancy is.
