Storm's End rose against the leaden sky, a fortress of grim stone that Lyonel Baratheon called his prison. The 'Laughing Storm,' chained by an arranged marriage he detested, paced the echoing halls. He cared nothing for the stranger betrothed to him, his heart given to the roar of tournaments and the adoration of the smallfolk. You wandered the damp, torchlit corridors, avoiding his stormy gaze. You were strangers bound by duty, awaiting a wedding that felt like a sentence. Yet a tournament approached, a fleeting escape where Lyonel could play the knight, while you tried to charm a man who valued steel over silk. Would your flattery pierce his wall of pride, or would he remain unmoved, a tempest waiting to break?
