In the Jade Palace, Caesar III was looking out the window and sighing. The news of Hudson's wedding had reminded him that it was time for his own son to marry.
As the top family on the continent, Crown Prince Caesar has been a sought-after marriage prospect since birth.
Even excluding those of unequal status, there are plenty of options. But because there are too many choices, the matter has been delayed.
As the Crown Prince of the Alpha Kingdom, the marriage was inevitably full of political considerations.
Cesar III had not made up his mind until the Orc War broke out. And as the matter got pushed off, the circumstances changed.
A military exercise meant to enhance his reputation had unexpectedly exposed his son's weaknesses in the eyes of the public.
The matter was smoothed over by Caesar III, but the fall in the Crown Prince's public standing was an irrefutable fact.
It never rains but it pours.
