Thats what makes it worse soo many choices and opportunity to dictate the flow of the story and none for the most important ones. And for what a piece of shit deadbeat father who exiled him, alienated his older daughter and using his kids like pawn. If you choose the correct option mc says that he would even kill both his father and the suitor rather than go ahead with this charade. Then he still quietly like a little bitch goes along with the wedding farce anyways. How's that for logical story flow? Choose all the options to disrespect the kings beforehand too.
Well it's the dev game and his decision on how to make it, i'm not ranting trying to force him like some idiots do here just calling out on the bullshit on display.
But the children of royalty have *always* been nothing but glorified pawns to be married off to this prince or that princess to secure treaties and peaceful relations with your neighboring kingdoms and city-states.
To say that for MC to go along with his normal path to ascension, after which *then* he could go about enacting changes, makes him some kind of soi-boi beta cuck is just silly.
About the only royal children that might have a chance to "marry for love" like a commoner would be maybe the youngest one after enough siblings were already married, and more importantly, *already had heirs of their own.*
But MC, as the eldest male heir? Come on, that shit aint gonna be avoided.
