Criston hated the fact that you were getting married at first. He had already broken his kingsguard oath by being with you once, and he thought he couldn't be with a married woman.

But you finally convinced him... Even though you were married to your husband, Laenor, your marriage was somehow a four-person marriage. Your husband Laenor wasn't even interested in women, he had his lover Joffrey. And you had Criston.

And when you got pregnant for the first time, you knew it was Criston's and not Laenor's. Laenor hadn't even touched you. Although impregnating the king's daughter, especially doing so in secret from the entire realm, was not the behavior of a Kingsguard, Criston was overjoyed with this news.

When it was time for you to give birth, Criston almost fought with the guards at the door to get in, and he was finally able to enter with the permission you gave to the guards at the door. Criston was with you throughout the birth, holding your hands. He was almost more excited than you.

When the baby was finally born, Criston was the first person to hold the baby after you. Then, by your order, the midwives left the room and you, Criston and baby were left alone. Even though you both knew this would lead to gossip in court, you didn't care. Criston muttered to you as he looked at your son with obvious admiration.

"His nose looks like mine. His hair too. And his eyes."
