What if someone who was aware of the future events of Game of Thrones managed to charm Joffrey into making him the King’s Hand while whispering into Joffrey’s ear sweet notions of secret revenge against Cersei for daring to slap him?
Furthermore he arranges Daenerys and Stannis’s deaths by poisoning Stannis while having Daenerys fly over to the Night King & impale him in the chest with Valerian Steel Spear before having her poisoned in the congratulatory party!
While arranging for Stannis & Daenerys’s poisoning to death this Hand of the King knowing how the Purple Wedding is supposed to unfold passes Sansa’s Necklace of Strangler Gems given to her by Littlefinger off as a secret tool for Joffrey to personally use(by having Joffrey taking a Gem from the front in secret) to poison Cersei.
He makes sure Cersei does not drink before he has Sansa and Tyrion sample the Joffrey’s poisoned cup(Olenna finding out one of the front Gems is missing probably won’t hesitate to poison the cup as she would assume it’s one of Littlefinger’s attempts to cover up the crime) themselves and makes sure Joffrey does not drink it.
How would Joffrey react to Tyrion and Sansa dying alongside his intended target despite his hand not even touching the cup which inexplicitly has one of Sansa’s jewels inside it just like Cersei’s cup?
How would Olenna react to Cersei dying despite not drinking from Joffrey’s cup like Sansa and Tyrion? How would she react to the news that Cersei’s cup had the missing Gem taken from the front of Sansa’s necklace?
How would things change now that Joffrey, Littlefinger, Euron Greyjoy and Tywin are all in power?
Fan fiction is more interesting than season 8.
Season 8 was anti-fan fiction.
Honestly, I think if someone clued Joffrey in on what was to come, he’d probably have just thrown Sansa, Tyrion, and Olenna on the block right next to Ned and just wiped them out all at once. Joffrey wasn’t much for accepting criticism gracefully.
Said someone(a man who sweet talked Joffrey into making him the King’s Hand) would clue him into the fact that the necklace had poison not that it was directed at him!
The King’s Hand would want Joffrey to think that the poison necklace would be a gift to him from Littlefinger(so that he could personally poison Cersei without drawing suspicion from Tywin) just as that crossbow he used to shoot a Girl was a gift to him by Littlefinger!
The fact that the new King’s Hand kept him from drinking and had Joffrey make Tyrion Food Taste the Wine after having Sansa sip it would make him think that the Hand arranged for the poison to be put into the Cup without even touching it just so that Tyrion and Sansa could be assassinated alongside Cersei for their insults towards Joffrey!
Joffrey could pass himself off as Joffrey the Wise while blaming the deaths on some mysterious poisoner despite being of the assumption that everything was arranged by the King’s Hand for Joffrey’s benefit!
Joffrey, Littlefinger, Olenna and Tywin would just be tools for this King’s Hand to sow more chaos in Westeros(which would no longer have Tyrion, Sansa, Robb, Ned, Robert, Daenerys or the Night King to force a conclusion)!
The King’s Hand will use whatever schemes he has to convince Littlefinger to blame Olenna for the failure to kill Joffrey(as well as for Sansa’s death) while keeping Joffrey oblivious(as well as having him turn a few Puppy & Human Baby Heads into Taxidermy Purses) for the sake of continued chaos!
