"If you are unaware, the purpose of political marriages tie allied kingdoms together." Helix explained to his partners, listening to him with a myriad of crashing emotions.
"So a relationship with Princess Eliza Zinon can be strictly platonic.
As Earthian rulers, you are not bound to stay in Alzeria, as you can leave Queen Eliza to run our kingdom.
We can also move our kingdom elsewhere, and then she'll run it there. The relationship has many benefits, and it's practical for everyone."

"As Earthian custom dictates, many who marry do not consummate the marriage on the first night." Helix continued with a serious voice.
