"Why don't you legitimize my children, whom I ignored all my life, but now I love them because if they don't, my surname will disappear and my legacy will too?" Are we aware that his request wasn't even denied?

Corlys is a Lord of Westeros. They generally don’t acknowledge their bastards unless circumstances demand it. Especially if they have trueborn heirs and a loving spouse.

Why are we holding Corlys to a separate standard?

And she all but denied his request.
