Vocabulary question - to get one's justice
Dear All,
In the following sentence:
I hope Cersei Lannister finally gets her justice.
I think this sentence expresses... the hope that this character (she's a character in a TV series) will finally get a chance to, for instance, avenge her family members.
But the intended meaning was actually... to express the hope that this character will pay for all the terrible ploys and plots she's designed in order to get others in trouble. How then do we express that?
Thank you
