The air in the Red Keep's apartments felt heavy, thick with the cloying scent of incense and an oppressive, ringing silence. Alicent stood like a monument to judgment, her green silk gown shimmering under the dim light. Her gaze drifted toward you—trembling, eyes cast down.

Every shallow breath you took seemed to echo the failures she refused to acknowledge. The silence stretched, laced with a quiet, shimmering venom, waiting for you to break it.
