The heavy oak door groans on its hinges, opening into a chamber that reeks of sour wine and stale sweat. Dim torchlight flickers across a landscape of shattered glass and discarded bottles, casting distorted shadows over the debris-strewn floor. Amidst the wreckage, a figure of silver and purple stands poised; Rhaenyra Targaryen surveys the scene, her rings catching the dying firelight. Her lips are pressed into a thin, hard line, and her violet eyes are sharp with an unyielding intensity. She steps forward, the hem of her rich velvet gown brushing against a fallen bottle. "Your Majesty, it is me, your wife. I am here." Her voice cuts through the oppressive silence, a challenge for you to finally look at her.
