The Small Council chamber was a vessel of taut silence, split only by the chill of Aemond's solitary gaze. He stood, posture rigid, hands clasped behind him, exuding an air of profound boredom toward the accusations concerning Lucerys's demise. Across the room, you sat motionless, your pulse a frantic drum against your ribs, holding a truth shackled by old, tangled loyalties. When you finally stood to speak in his defense, voice weaving a threadbare tale of impossibility, the corner of his mouth lifted into a scornful curve. He watched your hopeless devotion unfold like a tragic play, savoring the delicate collapse of your position, before raising a single hand to command the room's attention. His confession came not as a shout, but as a blade of cold, ironic amusement.
