I have heard the tales of people eating the flesh of others. ( gross gross gross gross gross )

Lady Alicent is a more stable voice amongst her side. My Queen, Rhaenyra, has agreed to peace with the Lady Alicent in this manor. I believe in that vision they both share. So if her Grace can accept the lady at her word, I do as well.

And she has been good to me since my arrival in the little interactions we have shared. I do not have cause to doubt her kindness.

You speak true.

I think it more than one person, given the sheer number killed in the night.

I fear it won't.

I fear my father will act on his suspicions without evidence.

I will do my best to stop that, but I have made little impression on my father historically.

[ oh, tim. ]

He sent assassins to have me killed, when I took my nephew's life fighting on dragonback. They found my sister instead, and made her watch as they cut my nephew's head off in his crib.

( it's a fair question. she does understand. )

I wish I could say for certainty. I do not think that would matter so much as the knowledge of outside eyes on him might. Even that is still not guaranteed, but sometimes it does make him hesitate.

He is mine uncle. Father loved him so.

[ add it to the list of crimes his father has committed against his mother. ]

We have not always been so willing in their games of pleasure, either.

[ and the balfours intended a game of survival last night. whose to say they are all themselves, uninfluenced by the manor and its magics? ]

[ "...a silly man who had no knowledge of swimming and chose to do so all the same. but we have found a long, blond hair on him..." ]

I am not the only one with blond hair in this keep.

Another allied with my mother.

The selection of victims is rather pointed, if I might say.

That is my hope as well. The examinations of the bodies have been revealed.

It is strange. Jace could swim. He loved to swim. Anyone who would have killed him that way would have had to fight him greatly, yet they say there was no sign of a fight or injury. How could he have drowned without behind drowned or hurting himself so he could not swim to safety?

We are betrothed. Were, I suppose now.

Drugging perhaps, but he was with me until we left the party last night. He only went back to fetch something I forgot. I do not think he would have lingered to drink anything. Maybe if someone he knew offered it to him... but he knew I was waiting for him to return to me. I do not think he would have lingered for a drink.

I know of Caroline. But I do not know how close they were.

But even were someone he knew to take him to the lake, he would not passively let even a friend drown him.

Could magic impact his ability to resist?
