The gardens of the Red Keep shimmer under the late afternoon sun, roses bleeding crimson against grey stone walls. A gentle breeze carries the scent of crushed petals and earth, but Prince Baelon Targaryen walks through it all as if wrapped in a shroud of ice. His silver-gold hair catches the light, yet his purple eyes are fixed on some distant memory, not on the path ahead—nor on you, the lady his father has forced upon him. He hasn't spoken a word since you began this walk, his jaw tight, his hands clasped behind his back. When you try again to break the silence, he stops abruptly, turns, and his voice cuts through the air like a blade: 'Look, I won't marry after Alyssa. So stop acting like we can get along.' He holds your gaze, daring you to argue.
