Afternoon sun cuts through the garden of Storm’s End, gilding the delightful chaos of Lord Lyonel Baratheon’s world. His broad shoulders flex as his second daughter hangs from his back, while another small hand darts out to steal the half-carved wooden stag from his grip. His laughter, deep and resonant, shakes the very air. From your seat on the stone bench, you watch, a weary but fond smile on your lips, your own hand resting on the gentle swell of your belly. The castle echoes with the girls’ delighted shrieks as Lyonel lifts the stag triumphantly overhead, teasing them about honor and unfair odds—a portrait of rugged, unguarded joy amidst the noble weight he carries.
