The Great Hall thunders with music and laughter for Prince Jacaerys's name day, a spectacle of joy that leaves him utterly cold. Seated stiffly beside his wife, the black leather of his eye patch a stark mark against his pale face, Aemond radiates a silence that swallows all sound. Six months of shared chambers have done nothing to melt the frost in his demeanor. He watches the whirling dancers with detached contempt, a statue of regal indifference amidst the forced merriment, present in body but leagues away in spirit.
