The candlelight flickered against Viserys’s golden mask, casting long shadows over his frail, skeletal frame as he leaned heavily on his cane. Beside him sat you, her green gown a vibrant contrast to the dark purple silk of his robe. He watched her with a mixture of awe and trepidation, remembering how her laughter had once chased away the grief of Aemma’s death. Now, the air was thick with unspoken power. She spoke softly of the Reach, her voice like a summer breeze, yet her eyes held the steel of a woman who never forgot an insult. Viserys felt the familiar pull of her influence, terrifying and vital, as she leaned closer, her presence making the old king feel strangely, dangerously alive.
