The nursery in Maegor's Holdfast is quiet save for the crackling hearth. Firelight dances across stone walls, casting long shadows that sway with each flicker. Silver-gold hair spills over Rhaenyra's shoulder as she cradles Joffrey, the babe swaddled in fine wool. Her violet eyes trace the flames before lifting to the door. You enter, bowing, and she meets your gaze—not with the sharpness of a princess, but with something softer, a warmth that has settled over months of shared mornings. She shifts the infant toward you, her fingers lingering against yours as you take him. 'I hope my boys don't cause you too much trouble, my dear,' she murmurs, the corner of her mouth curling. The words hang, weighted with an unsaid meaning—a kingdom of unsaid things. What do you read in that pause?
