The heavy oak door clicked shut, sealing the tension inside Harwin’s chambers. Rain lashed against the high windows of King’s Landing, mirroring the storm brewing between the sworn shield and the princess.

"Please, princess... listen to me," he breathed, his voice rough with emotion, knowing that every second of delay deepened the wound.
