What it means
Our interpretation.
Cersei’s answer makes an implied threat explicit and then claims it as her own choice. Her confidence depends on the overwhelming force standing beside her.

Spoilers for Game of ThronesShow the scene
In Game of Thrones season six episode eight, “No One,” Lancel and the Faith Militant demand that Cersei come with them. When he warns that the alternative is violence, she accepts that alternative with the Mountain at her side. The short reply precedes his attack; the card does not reproduce the violence itself.
