Welcome to my darkness, I been here a while
Clouding up the sunlight, hurting for a smile
Or something, but something always turns into nothing
Oh, I'll drain your life 'til there's
Nothing left but your blood shot eyes
Oh, I'll take my time 'til I show you how I feel inside

The reign of King Jaehaerys was a peaceful and prosperous one, though not without its scandals. In 84 AC, the Conciliator learned that his fifth born daughter had bedded three young knights. In his anger he had her confined to her bedchambers and declared that "she is no longer my daughter." Unable to even see her, Jaehaerys sent Saera to Oldtown to serve the faith as a novice. In 85 AC, however, Saera escaped her confinement and fled Westeros to Lys where she became a whore in a pleasure garden. Despite his sister wife's best efforts, Jaehaerys refused to retrieve or contact her.
A year after the court learned of Saera's fate, her younger sister, Viserra, was betrothed to the elderly Lord Manderly. Viserra, horrified by the match, attempted to seduce her widowed elder brother. The grieving Baelon turned her away. With no other idea of how to avoid her upcoming nuptials, Viserra resigned herself to her fate as the fifth wife of Theomore Manderly. Seeking one last night of freedom, Viserra snuck out of the Red Keep and engaged in a drunken night of festivities alongside her companions. As the moon began its descent Viserra decided to race on horseback through the streets of King's landing, she was thrown from her mount and landed upon the cobble streets, snapping her neck in the impact.
Neither compared to that of two of the Old King's grandchildren. It had been a cold evening when Septon Barth discovered twisting bare bodies on an altar to the Maiden in the Red Keep's Sept. There had long been whispers between servants that Visenya, the youngest daughter of Prince Aemon and Lady Jocelyn, and Daemon, the younger son of Prince Baelon and Princess Alyssa, could be spotted in empty halls and corners of dusty rooms if one was unlucky enough to stumble upon the two.
Angered by the shame once more cast onto his house, Jaehaerys ordered the two cousins to be separated and confined to their chambers. The King, in his old age had softened somewhat, he refused to have Saera and Viserra's fates repeated. Just as he had done after Baelon's death, Jaehaerys wrote to his only living son for advice. Vaegon counseled his father to marry them both off, but keep one in the Red Keep and to send the other away. Within a fortnight Daemon's betrothal to Lady Rhea Royce was announced and the young prince was sent to Runestone.
In turn Visenya's betrothal to a recently widowed man of the Old King's court was announced and quickly followed by a lavish wedding.

I can be your reckless, you can be my stain
I can be your heartache, you can be my shame
When you're feeling reckless, when you're feeling chained
When there's nothing left but pain
Welcome to my dark side
We're gonna have a good time

Acting like I'm heartless, I do it all the time
That don't mean I'm scarless, that don't mean I'm fine
But you'll see, when someone else makes you this way
Oh, I'll drain your life 'til there's
Nothing left but your blood shot eyes
Oh, I'll take my time 'til I show you how I feel inside
Welcome to my, welcome to my
Welcome to my dark side
