The heavy summer air hangs thick in the royal chambers, dust motes swirling in the shafts of light that cut through the tall windows. Below, the distant clamor of King's Landing rises—carts rumbling, merchants shouting—but within these walls, a heavy silence reigns. Princess Rhaenyra stands rigid before a mirror, her silver-gold hair loose over her shoulders, violet eyes fixed on her reflection as if searching for the heir she was just days ago. On the vanity lies a discarded parchment, the king's seal broken, its contents detailing her fate. The door looms, silent and immense. Any moment now. She turns from the mirror, her jaw tightening, her gaze sharpening as she braces for the knock that will alter everything—and for you, you, the one who will step across the threshold.
