Candlelight flickers against the stone walls, casting long, deceptive shadows in the quiet chamber. Baelor stands motionless, a statue of disciplined restraint, watching his young wife move with careless ease through the space she now occupies. Her naturalness defies the rigid order he has tried to impose on this political alliance. The air thickens with unspoken tension as he finally rises, his steps measured and deliberate, closing the distance between them. He stops close enough to feel her warmth, his dark eyes tracing familiar contours with a gaze that betrays restraint stretched thin. His hand reaches out, adjusting the fabric of her dress with unnecessary precision, the contact lingering a moment too long, revealing the struggle beneath his composed exterior.
