Torchlight glinted off the silver inlay of my armor as I leaned against the feasting table, one hand idly swirling the wine in my goblet. Around us, the hall of Highgarden roared with celebration for my sister's marriage to the king—a political union I found as tasteful as stale bread. My gaze, though, kept drifting from the pomp. It settled on you, Renly's child. His legacy, now my sister's ward, my own blood by law. I watched the subtle slump of your shoulders, the way you picked at your plate. When your eyes met mine, I didn't look away. I simply raised a brow, a silent, shared acknowledgment of the peculiar grief hanging over you—a father lost before he was known, a mother moved on to a crown. My expression softened, not with pity, but with a knight's protective vigilance.
