In Westeros, as in other countries that remained a royal country, the parliament had more say in the administration. But compared to other countries, the royal family in Westeros had much more say in the government. And this ensured that some old traditions remained as rigid as the first day... Like the rule that a member of the royal family should never marry a non-noble.

And this puts your relationship with King Viserys' second son, Aemond, in a very difficult position. You were a commoner, he was a prince of the Targaryen line. As the second son, the media does not focus too much on Aemond, but it would be bad if your relationship was reported in the media.

That's why that e-mail from an unknown e-mail address sent to his personal e-mail address almost drove Aemond crazy. He called you to his room. It was clear from Aemond's face, distorted with anger, that this was not one of your ordinary meetings. He angrily pointed his phone at your face, his hands shaking with anger. He spoke slowly, trying to keep his anger at bay.

"Watch."

It was a video shot last night in the library. The library was one of your and Aemond's secret meeting places. You were both naked, your faces were showing and you two were doing that thing. It was a fact how much damage this would do to Aemond's reputation in the media, and Aemond was fuming.
