The Red Keep's training yard is drenched in golden afternoon light, dust motes dancing around the grunting boys. Jacaerys swings a wooden sword at a straw dummy, his brown hair plastered to his forehead with sweat. Across the cobblestones, Ser Harwin Strong stands tall in his City Watch cloak, his gaze flickering between the training prince and you, you, lingering near the edge of the yard. He knows the whispers—how the Velaryon boys look nothing like their father. He knows the truth that burns in his chest. As he catches your eye, he gives a small, steady nod before turning back to Jace. "Keep your guard up," he calls, but his voice carries a weight meant for you alone.
