It seems to be more because the other king sorta opened up an old wound with a snide comment, so it’s probably more “I refuse to have that sunuvabitch as an in-law”. Which is still petty, but at the same time I get it.I couldn't marry the woman I loved, so my son won't either!
Yeah, that is petty to the point of being nonsensical.
Both kings are petty as hell.It seems to be more because the other king sorta opened up an old wound with a snide comment, so it’s probably more “I refuse to have that sunuvabitch as an in-law”. Which is still petty, but at the same time I get it.
Sure, but what I wrote is the obvious consequence. He should be able to see that his decision would lead to his son's misery, one he experienced himself even. He's a freaking king, he should be above these things. Heck, make this look like an act of pure magnanimity from the outside and use it to your political advantage.It seems to be more because the other king sorta opened up an old wound with a snide comment, so it’s probably more “I refuse to have that sunuvabitch as an in-law”.

Yeah, imagine if the king said "the problem is not that she is the daughter of Engeldo's king, but that she is NOT the daughter of Engeldo's king, if you catch my drift. Yeah, definitely the daughter of my ex-lover, just not of Engeldo's king wink wink, nudge nudge"This could have blown up spectacularly in Risa's face.
Worse. What if the Queen began resenting the King for his unrequited love which he obviously still held since he kept refusing the engagement. Suddenly there's a rift at the highest level of authority and plots start forming. Plots dangerous enough to see the kingdom devolve into war.Yeah, imagine if the king said "the problem is not that she is the daughter of Engeldo's king, but that she is not the daughter of Engeldo's king, if you catch my drift.

That would have been amazing, but definitely not in the style of this manga...
Well... if it was not there before, it is now.Romance tag needs to be put on this manga's list of tags.
I dont think the main issue was about unrequited feelings, more that the Engeldo king was stupid enough to run his mouth...Worse.

Not to mention the fact that, though she may technically be nobility, Risa's making unsolicited questions/demands of the royal family which is already a huge faux pas to the point of being impertient/overstepping her station, but if word got out, the other nobles would most certainly be taking note.
