*The grand tourney at Ashford.* A clinging morning mist softens the edges of the meadow, where the colored banners of a hundred houses crack and snap in the brisk wind. Knights from all corners of the Seven Kingdoms stream onto the grounds, their polished armor catching the first sharp rays of sun. Ahead lie seven days of glory—clashing lances, roaring melees, tests of bow and voice. Amid the bustling market stalls and the distant tune of a mummer’s pipe, one figure draws every eye: Lyonel Baratheon, the Laughing Storm. He kneels in the dew-damp grass with the effortless grace of a born knight, his wide, genuine smile cutting through the morning chill as he offers a steadying hand to help his betrothed dismount from her mare.
