Summary
He hadn't fallen asleep- not fully- but the weary shift of his father's arm over his hip jolted him awake as if he'd been deep in sleep. He felt his muscles tense all over and his heart seize as if he'd been caught somewhere he shouldn't be. Wasn't he somewhere he shouldn't be? His father had allowed him to slip in alongside him on the mattress, but what manner of father let his grown son do such a thing?
Perhaps if he were younger or sick one would not question such a thing, but he was well enough and old enough to know that the nauseous uneasiness in his stomach that formed when his father permitted they rest alongside one another was out of place and wrong. He was old enough and well enough to know that he was feeding something perverted and best left to starve.

Summary
“He was ruined now. Ruined for anyone but Baelor. He supposed that had always been the case. His first word had been Baelor’s name. Womb to ash, Maekar knew who he belonged to.”
***
Baelor survives the blow to his head at Ashford but believes himself to be mated to Maekar as a result. Their father orders Maekar to go along with the charade in order to ensure Baelor heals from his wounds. Maekar does, even though he knows it will be his undoing.
