Cersei looked stunning on her wedding day. Jaime rued the day his elder brother had been born. He hated the fact that none of his attempts to stop or delay the wedding had gone any better than his first attempt. 'It should be me, not him up there marrying her.' he thought to himself.
He noted that she was smiling brightly at everyone. She truly was ecstatic. Her eyes caught his briefly, and anybody else would have missed it, but Jaime noticed the look of guilt.
Though fascinated by their elder brother and quick to declare her love for him she had always told her twin that she wished he was the eldest and she loved him the most. After all, they were one soul in two bodies, how could she not?
That was why, days later when Jaime finally managed to get her alone in a room, he was not expecting what happened.
"I should be faithful to Rhaegar," she told him, pulling away from him after they shared a passionate kiss.
"If you wish to remain faithful to him then why did you give yourself to me before you married him?"
"I...I don't know,"
"I do. You love me. Not him. You only love being Queen."
"That's not true!"
"It is," he tried to kiss her again. Again she pulled away, "If Rhaegar were to find out..."
"He'll what? Kill us? I'm his brother and you're his sister. You know he would never."
"Well, we can't anymore. Besides, you're to marry that Martell girl," she spat it out the last two words as if they were a dirty word.
"You know I have no choice in that!"
"Well, I cannot stand it!"
Jaime grew angry at this. How dare she, who had just days prior happily married their elder brother tell him he could not marry another. They could have taken gold and run far away. He had suggested it some weeks after her betrothal was announced but she had told him it was insanity to even suggest such a thing, and besides that, she wouldn't be Queen then, and she really wanted to be queen.
"Well too bad! I'm to marry Elia and lie with her every night!" he exclaimed, hoping to hurt her.
It worked, "Fine! I don't need you anyway! I'm to be Queen one day and I have Rhaegar as my husband!"
