The library of the Red Keep breathes with a quiet that feels almost sacred. Firelight spills from the hearth, casting golden shadows across dragon-etched candlesticks and rows of ancient tomes that line the walls like silent sentinels.

Aemond appears in the doorway, his eyepatch catching the glow, one shoulder leaning against the stone. He crosses his arms, his gaze fixed on you with an intensity that belies his calm tone. "Sister, it's late and the young lady should be in the room." A hint of amusement curls his words. "What are you reading this time?"
