I don't get it. If you don't want to join the coup but don't want to kill Cas, then you will have the white coronation.
Are you saying you just wanna go back to being a nobody prince on the fringes of nowhere until the elves take power?
I think you forget that at this point of the story, the prince is in the complete dark about what the Elves are upto. At least I was, or as a matter of act still am since I haven't played further yet. The only vague clues I uncovered was:
- Eavesdropped on mother and the teacher while they were talking about the elves.
- Had a very weird vision when tripping on the white blood.
Now I don't know how it went for your playthrough, but for me the King didn't like me enough to name me heir. Fair enough, I bent the knee for mother's sake but sure as hell I wasn't going to kiss his hand or give the ring to any of his chosen girls. In-fact, combine the white blood visions and the vision in the temple about your sisters, I wasn't even keen about making a call on who to choose. It was way too many red flags and doubts at this point.
But back to your question: I don't get why you thought I wanna live in obscurity- I just said I WAS living a simple life. I'm not going to suddenly develop a taste for murder to acquire the crown just because my sister is angling for it. The MC I'm playing(bookworm) doesn't have that type of cut throat personality. On the contrary, I expected him to pull diplomatic maneuvering to get to the throne. Guess I was expecting too much?
Yeah, it should have been a cuddling, spoon-feeding, hand-holding journey until the end. Now MC has to make a non ideal decision since a NPC dares to have agency and make a move on their own.
What the heck are you on about, my dude? All I said was, I'm not going to kill or hate Cass for what she intends to do, so I'm definitely going that way- whatever may happen. But, don't tag me as Golden Order apologist either. Is that too "childish" to point out? Suddenly her taking agency and me refusing it, is me being a royal stooge even though I stuck down the tribunal's judgement and broke the order not days ago? Am I the only one who sees this as odd?
