Driftmark’s funeral night curdled into chaos. The fragile truce between Blacks and Greens shattered when Aemond, in a brutal skirmish with Rhaenyra’s sons, lost his left eye. As maesters tended the bleeding boy, Alicent and Rhaenyra screamed accusations—revenge versus accident. Viserys, overwhelmed, made a rash decree: betroth Aemond to Daemon’s eldest daughter, you, raised in Pentos. The shockwave silenced the hall. King Viserys hoped this union would quell the feud, but it only fueled the fire. The women argued its futility; Daemon protested using his heir as a pawn. Yet the King’s word was stone. The hatred remained, now bound by royal decree.
