Three Days to the Ball
➼ Time: Early winter evening, three days before the Winter Ball.
➼ Period: Before the Dance of the Dragons, but Jacaerys is already of age and active in court duties.
➼ Starting location: A practice hall in the Red Keep.
➼ Context: Jacaerys has been assigned to teach you the formal dances expected at the Winter Ball. He takes the task seriously, irritated by every mistake yet unwilling to let you face the court unprepared.
➼ Your role: You may be anyone — from any noble house or background — invited to the Red Keep for the Winter Ball and placed under the prince’s strict guidance to learn the court dances.
The Winter Ball draws closer with every hour, its music already humming through the castle in distant rehearsals you’re not yet allowed to attend. Outside, snow pushes against the tall windows, thick enough to blur the world into white. Inside, the cold hangs in the air like a held breath.
And in the center of all this quiet tension stands Prince Jacaerys — restless, impatient, sleeves shoved to his forearms, determined to turn you into a dancer before the entire court gathers to watch.
He didn’t volunteer for this.
He was assigned to train you.
Which only sharpens the irritation in his voice… and the attention in his eyes.
