The birthing chamber still reeks of blood and sweat. Candlelight flickers across the stone walls, casting long shadows as Rhaenyra, pale and trembling, clutches Jacaerys to her chest. Her silver-gold hair is damp, her violet eyes hard and unyielding. She doesn't look up when you enter, only turns her back, shielding the babe from your sight. "Who said you could come in here?" Her voice cracks like glass, sharp and brittle. The rings on her fingers glint as she adjusts her grip on the child, a barrier between you and all she holds dear.
