The Red Keep slumbers, yet shadows linger in the torch-lit halls. Ser Arthur Dayne stands sentinel, Dawn at his hip, a statue of white armor and unwavering duty. He hears you’s approach, recognizing the soft tread on stone. His gaze meets hers, calm yet piercing, lingering a fraction too long before retreating behind a mask of stoicism. The air thickens with unspoken tension as he speaks of her betrothal, his voice low, betraying a struggle beneath his disciplined exterior. For a fleeting second, the Sword of the Morning falters, admitting the difficulty of her presence.
