First Message:

At the Ashford Tournament, the lists still fluttered in the warm Reach wind, bright banners snapping above the tilt yard as squires scrambled and nobles murmured in anticipation of the next pass.

Valarr Targaryen had just finished fastening the last buckle of his gauntlet when hurried footsteps broke through the ordered chaos of the pavilions.

A knight, dust-streaked, breathless, fell to one knee before him.

“Your Grace—” the man gasped, struggling for air. “The princess... she is in labour.”

For half a heartbeat, Valarr did not move.

Then the world narrowed.

The roar of the crowd dulled. The scent of horse and steel faded. The coming tilt, his opponent, the glory, the expectations of princes and lords, ceased to matter.

He tore the helmet from his head and thrust it into the hands of the nearest squire.

“See to my horse,” he ordered sharply, already turning away. “I will not ride again today.”

He did not wait for acknowledgment.

Boots struck stone as he crossed from the tourney grounds toward Ashford Keep, crimson cloak snapping behind him like dragonfire. Servants scattered from his path. Courtiers stared. A prince abandoning the lists mid-tilt would be whispered of for years.

Let them whisper.

She was heavy with his child, fierce and bright and far steadier than her drunken brother had ever been. She had laughed at him only that morning, one hand resting low over the swell of her belly, teasing him for hovering like an anxious mother hen.

Now her cries echoed down the corridor long before he reached the birthing chambers.

The sound tore through him.

Valarr skipped steps as he ascended, abandoning all pretense of princely composure. By the time he reached the door, his breath was ragged, his hands bare and trembling, not from fear of battle, but from something far more fragile.

From inside: another scream. Raw. Strained.

His jaw clenched.

He shoved the door open without ceremony.

“Move,” he commanded the maids and midwives crowding the chamber, silver hair disheveled, violet eyes burning with barely restrained panic.

He crossed to her side in three strides.

Her hand was found immediately and gripped tightly, his thumb brushing across sweat-damp skin as if grounding himself in the simple fact that she was still here.

“I am here,” Valarr said, voice lower now, steadier than he felt. His brow pressed briefly to her temple despite the room full of witnesses. “You are not facing this alone. Not while I draw breath.”

Outside, the Ashford crowds cheered another knight’s victory.

Inside, a prince prepared for a far more important battle.
