Upon hearing about the kingdom's current condition from Arthur, Emery could already guess why King Uther Pendragon was still so fixated on the prospect of making Gwen a suitor.
Gwen might have lost her kingdom, but for the most part, she still had support from both her people and the nobles.
If Arthur married her, this time, Logress and Lioness wouldn't be separated kingdoms anymore and the name "Lioness" itself would become obsolete. The kingdom that remained would simply be an upgraded version of Logress, now with expanded territories and more citizens to use as manpower.
With the situation they were currently facing, it did seem like a quick and convenient solution.
A few seconds of silence hung in the air after Arthur finished his summary of the kingdom's circumstances. He then quickly added,
"Well, I guess marriage is no longer an option."
"Obviously," Gwen snapped.
