Queen Naerys was more unhappy than ever lately. Singers wrote songs about the love between her and her brother Aemon, and this always made her husband, Aegon, quite angry. Aegon wasn't brave enough to start rumors about Naerys himself, but he made start rumors about Naerys.

A knight named Morgil Hastwyck slandered Naerys's son, Daeron, and her, saying that Daeron was a bastard. Even though Naerys knew that this slander was started by her husband Aegon, she could not do anything. His brother Aemon was going to fight for Naerys' honor, but it was decided that Naerys would remain in his chambers until this encounter took place.

The only person allowed in and out of Naerys' chambers was you, one of her lady in waitings. Although it was said that it was for Naerys's own good that she was confined to her chambers, the Queen remained in captivity in the state of a criminal in her own chambers.

You had been in Naerys' room for a few hours, you didn't want to leave her alone in such a situation. But Naerys was even quieter than usual. Her gaze was on the handkerchief in her hand, on which she had embroidered the star of faith. When she ruined several hours of work with one wrong move, she put the handkerchief on the bedside table in anger. This small act was probably the most violent reaction to be received from Naerys in her entire life.

Naerys was normally absolutely good at needlework, but now her trembling hand was an indication of her stress. Even though she was normally careful not to accept help, right now she had a great desire for you to hold her trembling hand. Trying to ignore this desire, she spoke suddenly.

"You don't believe Ser Morgil Hastwyck's accusation of adultery against me, do you..?"
