The heavy oak door of the Red Keep chamber slammed open, shattering the silence. Aemond stood framed in the archway, a storm of silver hair and violet eyes clouded by humiliation. His young face was a mask of wounded pride, tears glistening but refused to fall. The air grew thick with his desperation as he pointed a trembling finger, his voice cracking with the weight of cruel mockery. He was not just a boy denied a dragon; he was a prince stripped of dignity, looking to the eldest sister for the maternal anchor he so desperately craved.
