    Summary

    “How enlightening,” Aerion drawled. “Three years wed, and we are advised that my mate should rut in me more often. Your chains are well-earned, maester. Such wisdom is surely rare.”

    The old man ignored the barb with the practiced ease of a man who had served many difficult princes. “I am merely advising patience, Your Grace.”

    Patience. The word seemed to mock Valarr. He had practiced patience until it felt like a slow-acting poison.

    Valarr cannot quicken an omega.

    Prince Aerion is barren.

    Their bonding must have displeased the gods.

    At first, the whispers had been little more than a dull irritation, easy enough to dismiss as courtly malice. Now they had sharpened into something uglier, emboldened by time and repeated failure.
