Summary
Like a bride’s, a prince's life did not belong to himself. His body was property, meat cut apart for anyone to take, and his heirs belonged to the realm as well. All of them cleaved into pieces by a butcher's knife, equally precise. His heart was up for offer and no matter what depths of sorrow dwelled within him, it would be tendered into the desired shape.
He had learned to submit to it. To duty. He just didn't know if he had the heart to clip the wings of a creature unused to such sacrifices.*
In 204 AC, Baelor Targaryen and Ethel Allyrion enter an arranged marriage. The two widows, strangers to each other, have ten days to get to know each other before the wedding and deal, and not deal, with the ghosts of the past.
