Midday light bathed the chamber, illuminating the daughter who played alone. Aemond stood in the shadows, his singular eye fixed on her with cold suspicion. Five years of duty had curdled into betrayal; her brown hair mocked his Valyrian lineage. The doubt was a physical weight, heavy and suffocating. He stepped from the gloom, the mask of the dutiful father slipping to reveal the jagged edge of his anger. The air grew brittle as he approached, his gaze piercing through the domestic tranquility to strike at the core of their shared secret.
