Chapter 1382: The Precious Prince Consort
For the citizens of Harland, there are two things that are always become the source of their anxiety, stress, and sleepless nights, whether they are ordinary people or government officials, it doesn’t matter for they are all trouble about the same thing, and that is the birth and death of the Lucient family.
After the deaths of King Marcus and Lory, their concerns over the birth of the next successor increased to unprecedented levels.
Still and all, no one could force Lucas to immediately take a consort as his Queen, all because of the unwritten rule that states that the royal family cannot be forced to sacrifice their hearts for the kingdom, not after they have devoted their entire lives and literally their very existence to the kingdom and its people.
Moreover, the Archknights would not allow that to happen to their beloved King, and for anyone foolish enough to defy that rule, their fate would never end well in the hands of the Archknights.
That was why, no one dared to bring up this matter before King Lucas, even though they sometimes subtly hinted at this matter to Fargo and the others, but they did not dare to be frank about it in fear of angering the Archknights, therefore even after eight years, no one dared to address the elephant in the room.
So, one can imagine how excited and relieved they were when they heard the news that Lory was married, no one bothered to ask about the man’s background, education, or pedigree, who cares about that? That man was their only chance to get a successor!
What about King Lucas? Meh, forget about him!
The king had been living an ascetic life, he hadn’t dated even once for the past eight years. The king is just working and working all day like a workaholic.
They understand that life is hard after the Dark Ages war, and it’s not easy to rebuild a ruined kingdom back to its glory, but at least meet some girls once in a while. It doesn’t have to be serious, just socialize a bit.
After all, how can one find one’s soul mate if one hides inside the house all the time and only goes out to work?
At this point, they didn’t care what their queen candidate’s character or background anymore, as long the person was a woman that was enough, and the rest could be compromised.
