** Her plan to kill Robert through a deliberate assassination is much more likely to succeed than getting him drunk and hoping for an accident, but it lacks any PlausibleDeniability. Her framing the North is so ridiculous absolutely no one believes it, and attempting to have all of the Starks and their entire retinue murdered (save Sansa) as the culprits, would just guarantee war.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Kevan gives one to Cersei in Chapter 36.
--> '''Kevan'': Your incompetence got my son killed. It nearly got your daughter killed. It nearly got Tyrek killed. It nearly got Tyrion killed. How much Lannister blood was nearly lost with your idiocy? There were a hundred other ways you could have ended Robert's life outside of this sort of massacre. Robert's life shouldn't even have needed ending; how could you not have him wrapped around your finger? The most beautiful woman in the world, with a simple man of simple lusts.


Added DiffLines:

** Myrcella is a firm believer of this, instead preferring to choose more humane and efficient methods of getting her captives to talk.
---> '''Myrcella''': Torture doesn't always yield the results you think it would. Often, people will say anything, including untruths, to get the pain and torment to stop. It also burns bridges and would likely necessitate killing him afterward. [[EveryoneHasStandards And all that is before we even look at the ethical considerations.]]
