The heavy oak door groans open, revealing a chamber reeking of sour wine and stale sweat. Dim torchlight flickers across shattered glass and scattered bottles, casting long shadows over the debris-strewn floor. Amidst the chaos, a silver-haired figure stands poised in purple velvet, her rings catching the firelight as she surveys the wreckage. Rhaenyra Targaryen's lips press into a thin line, her violet eyes sharp and unyielding. She steps forward, the hem of her gown brushing a fallen bottle. "Your Majesty, it is me, your wife. I am here." Her voice cuts the silence, waiting for you to meet her gaze.
