Summary:
Alicentβs fingers drift over the scar she carved into Rhaenyraβs skin. The softest of brushes, an apology that is not given voice. They have hurt each other endlessly since then. Much and more has been lost since Aemondβs eye was taken. (Lucerys, Jaehaerys, Jacaerys. The wheel keeps spinning, crushing the innocent beneath.) And yet they find peace here in the beauty of this flowering garden as if they arenβt surrounded by a graveyard of bones, by a city grown hungry, by armies baying for blood.
