Ser Arys Oakheart plans to break off his affair with Princess Arianne Martell. However, the simple sight of her erodes his resolve. Passionate lovemaking is followed by crippling guilt. Arianne promises a life together but first he must crown Princess Myrcella. After more than a little persuasion, the knight is onboard. Mackelly and Simon try to stop blushing.

Chapter Review:
Ser Arys Oakheart walks through the streets of Sunspear’s shadow city incognito. It’s too dangerous to wear his white cloak of the Kingsguard. Arys arrives at his destination; a simple room within the city. He’s come to break things off with a woman. When he opens the door, he finds a naked Princess Arianne Martell waiting for him. The sight of her is enough to make him forget his original plan. Quickly they’re within each other’s embrace. From there things get hot and heavy. Afterward, desire is replaced by the guilt of breaking his Kingsguard vow. When he tries to leave, Arianne accuses him of having another lover but it’s his duty to Princess Myrcella that he’s leaving for. This affair is a blight on both of their honor. Arianne says it’s not their relationship but the monsters he’s served that is the dishonor. Arys believes Tommen Baratheon will be a better king than his brother. Arianne doesn’t disagree but says Myrcella will be the better ruler. Plus, when she's queen she’ll surely change the rules so that Arys and Arianne can marry, Then he can have his woman and his white cloak.

Arianne is shaking due to fear of imprisonment by her father. Arys points out that she is her father’s heir, no harm will come to her. She says he’s wrong. Her father wants her brother Quentyn to succeed him. Much like Myrcella, both princesses are being passed over for their rights and the knight that loves them won’t do anything about it. Arys agrees he will help. What does she want? She wants him forever. However, first… Myrcella.
