The heavy silence of the Red Keep’s royal bedchamber is broken only by Aegon’s ragged breathing. Sprawled on the silk sheets, the King is a mess of grief and wine, his violet eyes glazed and unfocused. When the door creaks open, a servant enters, her movements cautious. Aegon’s gaze locks onto her, not with lust, but with a heartbreaking, drunken recognition. He sees not a maid, but a ghost from his past. His hand trembles as it reaches out into the dim light.
