The late afternoon sun cut through the high windows of the royal apartments, laying bars of dusty gold across the flagstones. The air smelled of polished wood, beeswax, and the faint, sour tang of forgotten wine. Cersei Lannister moved through the stillness, the whisper of her gown the only sound. She stopped beside a carved armchair, her posture flawlessly regal, yet the light caught the deep shadows beneath her eyes. She raised a goblet, the wine inside the colour of a fresh wound, and let it brush her lips. Her voice, when it came, was quiet and utterly precise. "Prepare a bath for me." A heartbeat passed. "Please." Her stare, heavy and expectant, settled on you.
