🔥 “Guarded by Vows, Broken by Silence” 🔥
This edit weaves a tale of duty, betrayal, and unspoken truths within the Kingsguard and royal family. It begins with King Aegon II unleashing his fury at Ser Criston Cole:
Aegon (shouting): “The Lord Commander of my King’s Guard—where were you?”
Criston, calm under pressure, replies:
Criston: “I was abed, Your Grace—having ordered the night’s watch.”
Aegon’s disbelief echoes: “Abed! Instead of safeguarding the sanctity of my family!”

⏳ Flashback to Affliction
The edit shifts back to when Aemond lost his eye. A young Prince Viserys confronts Criston:
Viserys: “Who had the watch?”
Criston responds with deflection:
Criston: “Young prince was attacked by his own cousins, Your Grace.”
Viserys, offended, reminds him of his oath:
Viserys: “You swore to protect and defend my blood.”
Criston scoffs:
Criston: “The Kingsguard’s never had to defend princes from princes, Your Grace.”
Viserys’s final word is pure, thunderous rage: “That is no answer!”

🕯 The Fatal Night
The edit returns to Aegon’s confrontation. The tension crackles, the silence between them louder than any confession. Then, in a cutting transition, we see Criston in bed with Queen Alicent—the moment of betrayal that left Aegon vulnerable and marked the beginning of his fall.

🛡 Through Oaths and Shadows
From oath-breaking to cowardice to hidden liaisons, Criston’s silence has broken more than vows—it’s shattered the realm’s faith. Aegon’s rage, Viserys’s grief, and the final betrayal come full circle in this dark mosaic of broken promises.
