When it comes to conquering King's Landing, either Cersei or Daenerys is going to destroy the capital.


 * Cersei knows she's going to lose, what with her soldiers being cut down by Unsullied, Dothraki, Dornish and Reachmen. So she has plans to vacate the city and instructs Quyburn to ignite ALL the caches of Wildfire to rob Daenerys of a victory


 * Before sending her troops to assault the city, Daenerys sends her dragons to burn a select few buildings as a demonstration of her power, to elicit the voluntary surrender of King's Landing by the Lannisters. One or more the buildings which are immolated by dragonfire happen to contain caches of Wildfire, leading to a chain reaction which destroys the rest of a city. Despite her intentions, the destruction of King's Landing convinces most of the continent that Daenerys is a tyrant and mass-murderer, harming her reputation long-term.
