When the king's health begins to fail, the realm does not yet know it stands at the edge of change.
Visenya Targaryen was never raised for silks or smiles. Daughter of Baelon the Brave, rider of Vhagar, bearer of Dark Sister, she has lived her life in armor and shadow. When her brother places the fate of his wife and child in her hands, she does not refuse - and she does not reach for the crown.
She rules so another may one day reign.
At court, oaths are sworn and watched closely. Old houses remember old slights. A young princess listens more than she speaks, learning what it costs to rule long before she is asked to wear a crown. And beside the Iron Throne, a queen stands protected, not possessed.
Power gathers quietly in this telling - not through conquest, but restraint.
And dragons, as ever, remember.
