Page "Crystal (comics)" Paragraph 12

Crystal's marriage to Ronan proceeds, even following Black Bolt's decision to usurp the throne of the Kree.

She comes to accept the idea of the marriage, defending it to her sister-in-law Polaris as a matter of statecraft ( though there are indications that Ronan wishes for more ).

The wedding proceedings are interrupted by the Shi ' ar Imperial Guard, who attack as part of Emperor Vulcan's invasion of the Kree Imperium.

Ronan is beaten nearly to death in this attack.

While visiting Ronan in recuperation, Crystal inadvertently helps rally the Kree people when she shows compassion towards a ward filled with injured Kree commoners ; acts which ( thanks to her sister in law Polaris ) were eventually broadcast over the Kree networks.

This has led to her being referred to as the " people's princess " among some of the Kree people.
