Hearing that the emperor didn't care about the prince's corrupted state, my brows naturally furrowed.
"Really? But why would... is he under the assumption that the two of you will get married anyway, so there's no need to worry about it?"
Lucretia gave a small sigh at my question.
"...Indeed. In theory, there should be no issue. If His Highness feels so strongly about Lady Tichá, he is free to take her as a concubine as he wishes. He knows very well that I wouldn't disallow it; I have always made my stance clear on that topic, just to ensure that he would not deny our future... Yet, here we are."
If that was the case, then it made even less sense.
Why couldn't that guy just marry the both of them? If he was to be the Emperor, it'd probably be entirely legal, and if it's not then he could just make it so, so why was he acting like such a moron for no reason...?
