Default Whom is Queen talking about

Cymbeline or Posthumus Leonatus in the following line?
"Pays dear for my offences."

Act 1, Sc. 1

QUEEN
Be brief, I pray you:
If the king come, I shall incur I know not
How much of his displeasure.
(Aside) Yet I'll move him
To walk this way: I never do him wrong,
But he does buy my injuries, to be friends;
Pays dear for my offences. 106

Thank you.
