Summary
Aegon has decided his end of the bargain is far overdue. As a reward for being an ever loyal servant to the crown, the king allows Criston to quench his decades old need for revenge.
From where Criston kneels, the strange angle allows him to indulge. To picture a different person in front of him. A Queen, perhaps, or even an estranged princess. The shape is right, almost terrifyingly so, but the scent is all wrong. He remembers Rhaenyra to smell of fire and blood, blood of the dragon through and through. Her son lingers similarly, but with a certain softness that Criston cannot decide whether he adores or despises.
All the same, it makes his head spin.
Rhaenyra was no omega, and the blood of the dragon ran through her veins far too deeply than anyone truly anticipated. It was something that Criston hated, something that Criston sought to destroy. That carelessness, that defiance. It consumed him until he was no more.
Here, Criston could believe that he succeeded in destroying it.
