Summary
In his boyhood, Maekar had to take two steps for every one of Baelor’s as he followed his elder brother with a wooden sword in hand, occasionally whacking him across the calves. They are to grow old together and burn in the same pyre once their time comes.
A dream haunts Maekar’s stay at Ashford. Each night, he watches the death of his brother, and by the time he rises, the blood on his hands has dried a little more.

Summary
The words hang in the silence that follows them, hard and unforgiving.
I wouldn't blame anyone if Aerion had fallen from a stray blow during the trial.
Baelor is the first to break it. “Forgive me, brother. That was uncalled for.” His voice is soft, any trace of jest gone.
Maekar doesn't even glance at him, his eyes are fixed on the wall opposite. He doesn't have to. Hurt is written all over his features, no matter how hard he tries to hide behind a mask of indifference.
He gets up from the table, wincing when he pulls on the stitches in his side. “The day was tiring. I will retire now, with your permission, Your Grace.”
He doesn't wait for Baelor's answer, turns on his heel, and heads for the exit.
He's always been quick, so Baelor manages to catch up with him just as he's reaching for the handle.
Or
Baelor and Maekar talk honestly after the trial.Series

Summary
"Do not mistake me for Aerys or Rhaegal," he muttered, voice strained with forced control, though Baelor could hear the metered exhale of his breath. "Do you hear me?"
Maekar's grip tightened, and Baelor felt his weight more acutely up the length of his spine as he bent nearer again, "do you hear me?" he asked once more, a mean edge to his voice- as if he were asking Baelor if he yielded with his sword knocked free of his hand and Maekar's knee shoving his gorget against his throat. The answer had been obvious then, as it was obvious now. Baelor had always evaded such an answer, enjoying the life and vicious spirit in his brother's eye; he evaded the answer now, though he had nothing to stare at besides the grain of the table.
Do you yield?

Summary
His mace, his son, his pride. A lesser man may blame Aerion for his reckless behaviour, or Aegon for his misguided decision, or even the hapless hedge knight, but no. This burden is Maekar’s to endure, his to atone for.
