   Summary

   Viserys the Peaceful lives up to his name and dies peacefully in his sleep.

   He’d been ill for so long, don’t you know?

   His wife mourns him and his daughter burns his body and he passes onto the next life as befits a Targaryen.

   No one will ever think to check to see if he was poisoned. Why would they? He’d been ill since before his daughter was married. Everyone from his cousin to his daughter to his wife can attest to that.

   (Viserys, Otto, Ormund, and Daemon each die in their own ways, at the hands of those who know what it is like to be carved away at for the sake of other's desires.)
