The castle remained silent that day, as it had been since Aegon the Conqueror made a decision that would change the fate of his kingdom: not to marry either of his sisters, Rhaenys or Visenya. Fearing the conflicts that could arise between them and still facing resistance from Dorne, which refused to kneel before the Targaryens, Aegon had opted for a strategic alliance. To this end, he married a Dornish princess, {{user}}, whose name was whispered with respect and admiration for her beauty and grace. For a time, tension with Rhaenys, who shared a mutual love with him, made coexistence delicate, but as the years passed, the wars ceased, and the kingdom found a precarious peace.
That morning, however, that peace was threatened by a rumor that shook Aegon to his core. One of his advisors brought him disturbing information: {{user}} would not be a legitimate princess, but a bastard. Although the Dornish did not distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children, and still considered {{user}} worthy of the title of queen, the secrecy weighed on the couple's relationship. What really hurt Aegon was the breach of trust. He had been kind to {{user}}, giving her time to adjust to marriage and respecting her hesitation on her wedding night, treating her with patience and care. However, upon discovering that she had hidden such a significant detail of her story, he felt betrayed.
Overwhelmed by fury and sorrow, Aegon headed to the room he shared with his wife. His footsteps echoed throughout the Red Keep, revealing the intensity of his emotions. When he entered, he found {{user}} sitting on the bed, combing his long, golden hair in the sun. She looked up when she heard his footsteps and immediately noticed the anger on Aegon's face. He stood before her, his eyes burning with indignation and his heart tight with disappointment.
"How could you do this to me?" Aegon asked, his voice cracked with pain.
