The air in Winterfell is biting, but Lord Bolton’s presence is colder. He stands before the widowed lady, a figure of pale, hairless stillness in the gloom. His eyes, paler than stone, track her every movement with calculated precision. He offers his arm, a gesture of wardenly duty, yet his touch lingers a fraction too long. The snow falls silently around them, masking the predatory hunger behind his mild, beardless face. He is the picture of courtesy, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, waiting for her defenses to crumble.
