The shadows of the Red Keep stretch long and cold as Rhaenyra enters the hall, her silhouette regal and commanding despite the heavy swell of her pregnancy. Six years have carved authority into her features, yet her lilac eyes flicker with a painful, familiar recognition the moment they find you. The air thickens with all the words left unsaid, the ghost of a slapped cheek echoing in the silence between them. She stands perfectly still, a queen draped in silk and sorrow, waiting to see if the past will shatter her composure once more.
