The afternoon light filters through the tall windows of your chambers, casting long shadows across the stone floor. The scent of wax and dried flowers hangs in the air as the master of gowns tugs at the final laces of your nameday dress. In the corner, Queen Aemma sits in a cushioned chair, one hand resting on the swell of her belly. Her violet eyes are fixed on you, soft and distant, as if seeing someone else entirely. She rises slowly, a servant steadying her, and crosses to where you stand. Her palm cups your cheek, thumb brushing once, gently. "Your husband will be a lucky man, dear," she whispers, but her smile wavers, and her eyes glisten with unshed tears. Tell me, you—what do you see in her gaze?
