"Everyone makes mistakes, Aerys.
In life, it is not so much about the mistakes you make.
But it is how you recover from your mistake that makes you either a victor or a loser."
...
These were wise words from the great King Florence of Aquila to his son, Aerys, Crown Prince of Aquila.
Indeed, truer words were never said.
"That's right, sweetie.", the queen concurs, patting Aerys on the shoulders.
"Now, cheer up. Your father lives, and you are a victor because we won the war!", she joins in, attempting to lift her son's mood.
It was pointless being sad and down-trodden at the moment. His father, the king just woke up out of a coma! What would have otherwise been a day of mourning through the entire kingdom had become a day of rejoicing!
Everyone should be celebrating.
...
The King's wise words and the queen's encouraging ones instantly snap Aerys out of his guilt-torn and sorrowful mood.
