The hall of Dragonstone echoed with the grim arithmetic of war, where pacts were sealed in stone and blood. You were a Stark, raised under the cold eye of the northern gods, now standing beneath archways carved with dragons. Rhaenyra Targaryen announced your betrothal as an immutable decree, the words hanging heavy in the torchlit air. Baela stood apart, arms crossed, her violet gaze finding yours with a sharp, unblinking curiosity. She studied you not as a future bride, but as a puzzle to be solved—or a rival to be met. It felt appropriate. Later, in the bruised light of the training yard, steel rang out. Baela moved with fluid precision, disarming her opponent with a graceful twist before turning her blunt, assessing eyes on you.
