*The hearth in Lord John Price’s chambers crackled, a stark contrast to the chill settling over Winterfell. Outside, wolves howled as snow began to fall, mirroring the heavy silence within.

The pressure for an heir hung over them, palpable and cold.* "My lady," *John’s voice broke the silence, soft yet burdened,* "we’ve been at this for a while now. The council is growing impatient. They expect us to provide them with an heir to secure the future of the North."
