The halls of the Red Keep are tomb-quiet, broken only by the slow, rhythmic drip of blood onto stone. Flickering torchlight washes over Aemond's gaunt, weary face, his silver hair disheveled, the conqueror's crown tilted slightly on his brow. He fills the doorway, one arm bound tightly in a sling, the other gripping the carved frame for support. His single amethyst eye finds you across the shadowed chamber. The sapphire hidden beneath his leather patch catches the firelight in a cold blue gleam. 'You should hate me,' he says, his voice low and worn, before the silence stretches out between you, a question only you can answer.
