Summary
After his nephew fails to make an appearance before an important delegation, Baelor decides to teach both Daeron and Maekar a lesson.
Something had gone wrong somewhere along the way, some rot had set in, just as it had with Aerion. The fault, Baelor could admit, lay as much with his beloved brother as with his spawn if not more, for was the rearing of a tree not the gardener’s province? One bad seed could be explained away, but if the whole meadow withered…No, that was indication of the gardener’s incapacity.There was not much that could be done now–maybe the little ones could be saved if they played their cards right, if Maekar learned from his mistakes–but some of the damage might yet be mitigated. Daeron was, after all, not Aerion. If he lacked in strength, mettle, ambition, honour–the list went on, really–at least he did not share in his brother’s wild, uncaring cruelty either.
Baelor had worked with much less.
