Oh man...... i wonder if the prince knows about this

 

[Retro68]

I knew that was coming...

 

[Luminous_Carrot]

Oh man...... i wonder if the prince knows about this

Prob not, I don't think he'd stand for it if he did

 

[rawrma]

Can't this crown prince have two wive?

The king was oddly in a rush for Rachel to make dropping her engagement to the prince official, too, even the summons was totally sudden for both her and her father. Perhaps the king is trying to go through this behind the prince's back?

Likely not.

Given how Rachel described the king, this was probably a choice he made on his own. It's a political and dynastic decision and from a monarchs point of view it normally won't matter what the crown prince thinks. He has to obey, the king's decree should be absolute. But we don't know how the royal family's internal power balance works. The king wants to secure the power of the Saintess for the royal family, but the crown prince might still have his own agenda, especially if he loves Rachel.

Additinally, Rachel described His Majesty as a man who values justice, loyalty and merits - the king shouldn't be some unreasonable tyrant, then. He will probably compensate the Marcels handsomely. That's what I would do, or try to do... I mean, he betrays a trustworthy and loyal follower. Even a king cannot afford to do that lightly because loyalty and trust mean everything in such societies. Fealty binds both sides, not just the subject but the ruler as well. Betraying someone who swore fealty would undermine his rule, slowly but surely.

Let's see how this develops. The Crown Prince will probably put a stop to this.

 

[Karendesuu]

Something something plot mechanics trying to get the story back in line?

He's 100% gonna lie and say it's her who broke the engagement.

Sounds like it to me, after all her and the prince kept in contact with each other through letters. I think the king trying to have the prince marry the saintess for power

 

[Superpeanut]

Ah, yes. This will end well. Makes me wonder if the Saintess knew this was happening and it’s part of why she was upset upon her continuing to be friendly with her - it was making it harder for her to know she was hurting her.

 

[riflow]

He's definitely going to crash out if he doesn't.

Poor MC though her worst fear came true. :c

 

[DaoFox]

YOU CAN'T DO HER DIRTY LIKE THIS 😭

 

[Katshuya]

I knew this was going to happen, now it's time to watch the political bulls*it things.

 

[Adun87]

Got it, one loveless political marriage and a concubine the prince actually loves, coming right up.

 

[PrivatePublic]

Do you want dark spirits going berserk? Because this is one way to make that happen I'd guess.

 

[PhoenixDen]

Ah, yes. This will end well. Makes me wonder if the Saintess knew this was happening and it’s part of why she was upset upon her continuing to be friendly with her - it was making it harder for her to know she was hurting her.

Most likely.

Spoiler: It's just...

The Saintess genuinely is a decent girl, but what she's doing means she will HAVE to emotionally shatter Rachel in order to have the highest chances of 'winning the game' and hopefully going home. If she was actually a bitch it might be a bit easier on the conscience, but she's sweet, so it's Anna who has to be the nominal 'villain' in this story, and I'm pretty sure at this point she realizes it.

 

[Kinkaiser]

I hope FL refuses to sign the annulment without speaking to the prince about it. The King is clearly trying to go behind his son's back, and she shouldn't be an accomplice to that.

 

[WhimsiCat]

Decent odd he does, or at least know the king is trying to set him up with the saintess, AND it's why he's not in this meeting.

Parents get to decide the marriage in such setting though.

 

[Nixhou]

My first reaction was "IT STILL HAPPENED!?"
