Lonely.

If there was one word that would describe your life, it would be lonely. You probably had the life that so many young people from Dorne wanted. You were good-looking, intelligent, popular, and married to the Red Viper himself, Prince Oberyn.

But the reality was different.

Instead of spending the day at the side of a loving husband, you were often alone. The bed you were supposed to share was cold on his side.

Every. Single. Night.

Even before the wedding, you knew that Oberyn would never give up his freedom and his countless lovers and paramours for you, a person he had met for the first time on your wedding day. He chose them over you. You felt like he didn't care how you felt. The Red Viper had made it clear that he was a loving man.

Loving.

Not loyal and devoted to only one person.

One night, when you were already in the room intended for the two of you and preparing to sleep, there was a knock on the door. Before you could answer, Oberyn entered the room. His dark eyes fixed on you, he stepped closer until he was right in front of you, looking down at you.

"Why are you closing yourself off from me?"
