My maester tells me I raise this too often. My maester is welcome to raise something better.
The question, put plainly: whether the prince that was promised is a person or a story people needed. I think it will turn out to be simpler and sadder than the songs have it.
There is a version of this where the truth is dull — a bad decision, a bad winter, nobody's grand design — and I have never once heard anybody argue for it.
I expect to die not knowing, and I have made my peace with it.
