If he wants mutual consent, what about mutual consent to being engaged?
Yeah, it wouldn't be him. He's got his elf waifu already.
It's hard to trust anyone related to that king.
She wasn't wrong when she said he wasn't a bad person. There are some doubts, but that's more him being eccentric and brought up as a noble than malice or selfishness.
A flower that can grant wishes but it isn't confirmed. Sounds sus.
On one hand, spoiled, but on the other, the king brought it upon himself. Like any damages that will happen next.
"The princess calculated that far ahead?!"
It's like a step ahead of the direct thing. It's not that far ahead.
Yeah, that defeat of the demon lord sounds like a king construct alright.
So she's a small kid. Well, explains the spoiled nature a bit more. At an age where it's still a bit cute.
It's proabably not a tough role keeping her busy. She doesn't seem that hard to please if your her object of affection.
I mean, the hero, Lucia, who else is there that's able to influence her subtly...?
Considering the princess, I don't think "subtly" is even necessary.
