My guess is that Autore fruit thing not only legalizes marriage, but allows them to produce a child together when consumed. No idea how that works physically, but, well, it's magic. I ain't gotta explain shit.
Or the fruit is only needed for people from another world, and the changes persist to the children.
Maybe it’s like the fate/stay night series, where Saber/Arthur consumed a portion or something, which made Saber into a man, that led to the birth ofof Mordred..
✨Magic✨
Well, we can’t forget that this was a meeting of politicians. Despite the crisis, I’m sure there’s a couple of schemers in the room who have their own agenda and would prefer one princess take the throne over the other. Those types also do a fair bit of projecting themselves, they’d do just about anything to get ahead and assume that is the norm for everyone, including the saintesses.
I’m a lesbian reading yuri, there’s no reason for me to look for male characters in the first place. If it’s not pointed out by someone, I really will not notice their lack of existence.
Yeah - I actually hope this series goes for awhile, because there's all the political intrigue involved in succession rights between the two princesses, the maneuverings of their court and various officials...not to mention the world building with that cloaked lady who attacked them at the lake and what all that entails.
This is definitely playing with the 404:Men Not Found trope where readers will assume this and that it's just an aesthetic choice that all the important characters are women...until this chapter where they hit us with the whammy of "no, there are ACTUALLY NO MEN HERE", at which point it becomes a plot point.
Not just holding hands, but holding BOTH HANDS. With entwined fingers.
But wouldn't it be hilarious if the big baddie behind it all turned out to be the only man in the world? The root of all evil...
