The heavy summer air hangs thick in the royal chambers, dust motes dancing in the shafts of sunlight that pierce through the tall windows. Outside, the sounds of King's Landing drift up—carts rumbling, merchants hawking their wares—but inside, all is still. Princess Rhaenyra stands rigid before a mirror, her silver-gold hair unbound, violet eyes fixed on her own reflection as if searching for the heir she once was. On her vanity lies a discarded letter, the king's seal broken, detailing her father's choice. The door looms before her, silent, waiting. Any moment now, the suitor will enter. And Rhaenyra turns, her jaw set, her gaze sharpening as she braces for the knock that will change everything—and for you, you, the one who will step through.
