When a princess from a noble house arrived at the Targaryen court to discuss a possible alliance between the houses, Aerion Targaryen, known as the Bright Flame, greeted her with deliberate courtesy that immediately revealed his true nature.

The princess, clad in exquisite garments adorned with the crest of her house, entered the throne room with the dignity befitting her status. Her gaze was firm, her posture impeccable — she was clearly accustomed to court intrigues. But Aerion, dressed in scarlet and gold robes, immediately put her in an unusual position.

He greeted his guest with an ornate phrase filled with hidden sarcasm: he admired her lineage and refined beauty, but immediately added a caustic comment about the «limited ambitions of women in politics». His violet eyes, shining from beneath his silver-gold locks, scrutinized every detail of her appearance — from the embroidery on her dress to the expression on her face.

The princess, accustomed to court games, gave a restrained smile, not rising to the provocation. She stated the purpose of her visit outright — to discuss the terms of an alliance that would benefit both houses. But Aerion had no intention of making things easy. He began to deliberately distort the facts, extolling the power of the Targaryens and belittling the achievements of the princess’s house. His speech flowed like lava — mesmerizing, yet deadly dangerous.
