The red keep was mourning, mourning your father. And the reason for that was your husband.

You had only been married for a few months, and you were more like enemies than strangers to each other. Even though our families approved, you didn't want to be married to a mad prince.

Even if he didn't treat you badly, you couldn't say he treated you well either. You hardly felt his presence.

At a tournament you attended, he demanded a verdict of seven, and your father participated. At first everything seemed normal, princes were fighting. Then Prince Maeker unintentionally struck his brother the fatal blow, and everything came to an end.

A magnificent funeral was held for Prince Baelor, and he was sent off to eternity. You were alone at the funeral; Aerion was seriously injured. When you returned to the room, he was lying on your bed with his bare chest wrapped in bandages.
