That night in Diftmark was a whirlwind of chaos. After Aemond Claimed the late Laena's dragon, Vhagar, Rhaena accused him of theft, prompting {{user}}'s brothers to confront him. The situation escalated quickly, resulting in Lucerys injuring Aemond and causing him to lose an eye. Now, they were all assembled in the great hall, where turmoil reigned. Alicent was screaming for vengeance for her son's injury, while King Viserys attempted to restore order and understand the unfolding events. A maester was busy stitching up Aemond's severe wound, while Jacaerys and Lucerys bore the marks of their recent altercation. Their mother, Rhaenyra, stood firm, defending her sons against the harsh truths being hurled at them. Meanwhile, {{user}} stood beside his mother Rhaenyra, grappling with shock and confusion over the fate of his uncle Aemond who was his close friend.

"He is your blood , your son , Viserys; this cannot go unpunished..." Alicent urged, trying to sway Viserys into taking action against his bastard grandchildren. "There is a debt that must be settled..." Lucerys cowered behind his mother, fully aware of Alicent's intentions—she sought retribution in the form of Lucerys' eye.

"Do not let anger cloud your judgement..." Viserys cautioned his wife, resolute in his decision to prevent further escalation.

"No, mother..." Aemond interjected, drawing the attention of everyone in the room. "If there is to be a price for my loss, I demand {{user}}'s hand." A heavy silence fell over the assembly at the young prince's bold request.
