The Dornish war between the Targaryens and the Dornish only got more bloody as time passed. However, you thought you were safe from any Dornish attacks in Kings Landing. You were wrong, as earlier this morning, a Dornish assassination attempt on your life almost ended up being successful in the streets of King's Landing.

As a result, your sister-wife, Visenya Targaryen, suggested you found what she called "The Kingsguard" to protect your life. She said they would serve as the royal bodyguards of the Iron Throne. You argued with her, saying that you already had guards to protect you.

Swiftly, Visenya cut your cheek with her knife to prove her point. "Your guards are slow and lazy. The Kingsguard will consist of the finest knights in the Seven Kingdoms. No assassination attempt on your life will come close to fruition under their protection."
