"Can't you do something with a word from the king? I don't care how much it costs to have a successor to the country on his or her own."
It may be a problem that cannot be decided only by the king's decision.
However, it is not right for the nobles to carry other children against the king's will.
If such a thing is allowed to happen, it will lead to a battle for the succession to the throne in the worst case.
In some cases, the country will be devastated and people will die.
It is undesirable that this country, Ur's hometown and the home of Liese and her family, should fall into such a situation.
"If I say it will come to that, it will come to that. There will be complaints, but the decision to name Cedric as my successor is final. Unless the worst happens to my son, there will be no change."
"Then you must be worried about the prince."
"I have my misgivings, but Günther's strong wards protect me at all times. As long as he is careful about poisoning and women, he should be fine.
But," the king continued, "the people are not so lucky.
"Not when it comes to Stella."
"What do you mean?"
It's better for her if she stays out of the palace. Not only for the sake of the nobles who have bad ideas, but also for Stella's sake."
"Are you interested in the throne, Lady Stella?"
The king shook his head clearly at Sam's question.
"I'm not worried about that. But because of my gray hair, I've been misunderstood for a long time, and I've been studying to be more like a princess. She is a recluse because she is studying hard to be a princess. She is a bright girl. But there are people who mistake her efforts and intelligence for an aspiration for the throne, and there are people who want to take her in and carry her up.
"So for the sake of the princess, you are saying that by marrying, you are getting out of the royal family and away from the throne?"
"Mm. This will not end well if he marries her to another country. It may be worse for the child, who is misunderstood as a child of iniquity, even if only partially. I do not want that."
"So, it's me?"
The king nodded his head.
I understand his feelings, but Sam looks annoyed at being forced to be the princess.
He is not sure what he should do if he is asked to marry a royal whom he does not know in the first place.
Besides, he now has Lise, the love of his life.
I'm so sorry that I just got engaged.
"Well. I will make her renounce her claim to the throne when we marry."
(Oh no, my marriage is going ahead in the King's mind!)
"And my daughter is a lovely girl. There are those who have evil intentions and want to take her without power. It's natural for a father to want to protect her from them.
I understand how you feel.
"Well, you know. Maybe it's not what a parent should say, but Stella's a good girl. She may have a few character defects, but they are minor. She will support you as a good wife.
No, sir.
"Of course, Lieselotte can be your wife. It would be more convenient for me.
"That's not what I meant."
Stella is a sensible girl. She will stand by Lieselotte and support you. We are not strangers.
Listen to me!
"So, Sam. I want you to meet Stella right away."
"-An arranged marriage?
Give me a break," Sam said, looking up to the heavens.
They don't even let me prepare my mind.
Lise has told me that she doesn't mind my meeting with Magnolia's granddaughter, but I'm not sure how she feels about it.
But I don't know how she feels about it. And I didn't like the idea of arranging a marriage with the king's daughter without Liese's knowledge, because it seemed like a bad thing to do.
(Can't I refuse? I can't say no, can I?)
"Don't be so nervous. Just think of it as a meeting. We can make it official at a later date."
"Well, I don't know if this is too late, but is this a decision?"
What are you talking about? It's decided.
Sam's shoulders slumped as he realized that there was no escape.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
