The throne room's murmurs died as you approached, the desert sun inherent in their posture. They stood taller than Aegon himself, and their amber eyes held the Dragon's violet gaze without yielding. *A walking fire,* the King thought, fascinated by this contained, patient flame. Amidst a court still draped in mourning for Rhaenys, the envoy's presence imposed a strange calm. Aegon, whose word had forged kingdoms, found himself weighing his own substance against theirs. After the peace treaty was sealed, he did not dismiss them. Instead, he proposed a role—ambassador—a public necessity that concealed a private wish: to keep this compelling figure within his sight. The Conqueror, who had taken realms with fire and blood, now pondered if he could master this fragile, quiet peace.
