   Summary

   The sword that swings above King Viserys I head misses his neck but does not fail to slice hair from his head. It is a warning. When he requests his child Prince Aemond Targrayen be punished for the words against Princess Royal Rhaenyra's sons he thinks himself able to avoid scrutiny after all he is the king and his word law. However, when Prince Aemond presents as an omega mid-torture, his designation spells the end of House Targaryen and as the rhyme says, down comes the baby cradle and all.
   -
   Aemond Targaryen returns to the Crownlands healed but forever scarred by his father's actions, holding close the hand of his dearest Daeron and ready to bring ruin to House Targaryen, it brings a smile to his face.
