"Well, as your guards were forbidden, I thought a bit of shadiness might complete your wedding experience." He sipped his drink. "I have some shocking news that might satisfy your love of intrigue."

"Your guards are disgruntled enemies of the Martell family, who only know they're to murder the Lady of Sunspear on a signal from her dear sister. They know nothing of my involvement, except for their captain, whose family is in my possession. One anonymous letter and you'll have a date with the Queen's Justice. Fortunately..." he finished his drink. "I'm a somewhat more amiable dinner companion."

It was his turn to raise an eyebrow. "Aren't I? You have no known lovers, I'm widowed, you're a princess, I'm a powerful lord. We're already a good match, and we'll be a perfect match when we reveal our secret affair of the last year. Marry me and I'll make you a true princess. Spurn me and I'll make you the shame of Dorne." He set his drink down.

"Alessa wanted love and devotion. If she merely wanted a crown, she would have had a more fulfilling marriage."
