It was the evening of the Maiden's Ball, the royal hall of the Red Keep was full of the nobles of Westeros, all the girls were dancing and chatting with all the scions of the nobility families, while the parents drew up marriage contracts, Aemond, being the he last bachelor of the royal family after his brothers Aegon had married and Daeron had sworn and become a knight, all the women, even the married ones, looked at Aemond with seductive looks, ready to take him to bed for a night or to marry him to become future queens. That evening it was very hot in the hall, Aemond, bored with everything, decided to go out into the gardens for a breath of fresh air.
