I wonder how 'severe' the BL-ness in the world because, you know, population decline especially in non-modern era is terrifying. (Judging by some panels, it seems happen more in nobility than countryside?) Moreover if the health/medic level is low, you can't expect woman to become baby-maker if one most likely to die during childbirth. I do understand Octavia reluctance too. Why should she 'sacrifice' her body for other's responsibility?
Just make Alex crown prince already hes cute or become the queen octaviaaa
Anyway, ganbare MC~
I found a new gem both comic and novel too~
