"I see the way everyone looks at me." Aerion said as he sat next to Rhaenyra during the banquet, "The way there is fear in their eyes. They think of me as a monster, a manslayer, a maniac who seeks blood."
Rhaenyra looked at him, seeing that he was staring ahead. His eyes were seriou...

There was a small celebration, in honor of Aerion's Knighting and the announcement of the impending Royal Wedding. Some lords were gathered in the main hall, a banquet prepared. They partook in the food and drink that was prepared at Visery's behest.

There was nothing but a feeling of anxiety that I could feel throughout the entire night and upon waking up. I did not sleep much, only a few hours.
I had woken up in my own bed and made my way straight to Rhaenyra's chambers, to see if he she had woken up already. When I got there, I no...

I will not lie.
It is indeed my fault.
Most of what had led up to this point has been due to my actions. For better or for worse, what I have done has caused several events that would change my life from that point forward. It is not something I will sit here and deny it.
