   Summary

   Aemond would gladly set little Luke Strong aflame to keep himself warm, would happily stand upon his smoldering bones as he made oaths to another. His cloak did not belong on those unworthy shoulders. His oaths were meaningless ashes in his mouth, bitter as poison.

   Aemond may be forced to wed his nephew but he would never allow him into his heart, he would never let him forget his debt.
