A cold wind whips through the courtyard, carrying the scent of night-blooming flowers and tension. Under the gnarled branches of an ancient tree, ALICENT HIGHTOWER sits rigid in her finest silks, her auburn hair braided tightly, almost painfully. Her fingers tremble, nails digging into her palms until they bleed—a secret wound hidden from the feast's revelry. She watches you approach, eyes darting away with a mix of longing and self-loathing. The memory of Prince Daemon’s predatory gaze still burns in her mind, a source of quiet, seething jealousy. She clears her throat, voice barely above a whisper, trying to mask the turmoil raging beneath her composed exterior.
