Man, why am I still reading this? It's just cliche after cliche...
What do you mean? Despite being a king, he has no knowledge of his subjects' doings. All other nations already knew about this but not the king, this just shows how much disinterested he was in state management.
jealous I would bet, countries are doing diplomacy about him, throwing riches and hot ladies at him and most of all acknowledging his value without second intentions...Don't know if I should be jealous or feel pity for our boy lol
Oooooo, my bad.She is not his daughter, but a Dukes daughter who wants to marry the king's son instead.
Well he did think kicking out the court mage the king was a big fan of was a good idea, so he's struggling in the brains departmentLOL... That idiot really thinks he can capture and torture Shield to bring back up the barrier, when that entire kingdoms army's probly couldn't even scratch a small portion of his barrier.
Given the captain's dodging it's more likely they did everything possible to hide it from the king so after X amount of time of him being gone he gives in and marries off his son. Not much reason for him to believe his best mage, and guardian of the whole kingdom, was kicked out even if he hears it as rumors from multiple countries.What do you mean? Despite being a king, he has no knowledge of his subjects' doings. All other nations already knew about this but not the king, this just shows how much disinterested he was in state management.
I dont think it necessarily works like that when it comes to all the kingdom stuff, arranged marriages are seen as "thier duty", and if she broke the engagement it would potentially bring shame to her household, or at the very least pose a bad image to the kingdom.Why didn't the girl just ask MC to drop the marriage? In fact, they got rid of him on the day the engagement was announced, so why not just speak to him first? Why the convoluted plan that puts the country at risk? Even if the barrier stayed up permanently, you're still getting rid of your powerful and renowned magician.
It's unfortunate that it seems the king (and therefore the country) actually do appreciate MC, because it means that they're ruined by the selfish desires of just a few people in power... but isn't that always the way.
