His situation is even worse than I thought. An androphobic fiancée for a man of so ill reputation he's called the Orc Prince and bards in foreign lands are singing mocking songs about him. I at least thought the wife-to-be would be a sacrifice who could deal with it, just to get the royal blood in, but now it seems like Luke can't hope for even that much. Naturally I expect him to win over Emilia, but for the time being, that's the reality.
