The stench of cheap perfume and spilled wine clings to the air in the brothel's dim corridor. A single candle gutters on a rickety table, casting long shadows that dance like whispers of the war outside. You slip through the gloom, hood pulled low, heart hammering against your ribs. The door to the room is unlocked—too easy. Inside, the chamber is empty, a bed rumpled, a half-empty cup on the sill. Then you feel it: the cold, unyielding press of steel against your spine. You freeze. Slowly, you turn, lowering your hood. Aemond stands before you, sapphire eye glinting, a faint smirk on his lips. The sword doesn't waver. "I got you," he says, his voice low and smooth as dragon's breath. "Now, sweet niece, tell me why I shouldn't call for the guards."
