210 Episode 18 Baffled (2/2)

There's no reason to reject it.

”I'm all for it, Your Majesty. If we can absorb the remnants of the Cherda Kingdom's navy, there will be no country in the Album Sea that can compete with us.

In the meantime, there is a maritime trading nation called the Republic of Adleria.

But if the Lemurian Empire and the Kingdom of Cerda form a tyrannical alliance, the Republic of Adorlia will be nothing to fear.

”If anything, I'm concerned about our religion, Your Majesty. We are Orthodox, and the Kingdom of Chelda is Western. We are Orthodox, and the Kingdom of Chelda is Western, so of course we have to accept the Western faction, but Princess Sonia needs to convert to Orthodoxy, and the Kingdom of Chelda's state religion needs to be changed to Orthodoxy as well.

Hercule is the guardian of Orthodoxy.

The guardian of the orthodox faction cannot become the king of a western country.

He must convert the Kingdom of Cerda to Orthodoxy, if not in practice, then in principle.

...... Well, that's an extension of the rule of the Terriportanian region. It's not a problem as long as Princess Sonia agrees to convert.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

She doesn't care about her country for love.

He probably doesn't have much of an opinion on faith either.

If there is a question, it is whether to take a wife or a side-chamber, isn't it?

Todoris said.

In the Lemurian Empire, it is the regular family that bears children who have the right to the throne, and it is the side family that bears children who do not.

Therefore, Carolina and Scheherazade are the legitimate wives, and Lunalie is the concubine.

Since Lunalie is a half-elf, her child will not be entitled to the throne.

In the Lemurian Empire, which is based on the principle of the supremacy of the High Elves, only a High Elf can succeed to the throne.

Of course, according to Messianic doctrine, even if a man has multiple wives, they must be treated as equals.

Therefore, religiously, there is no distinction between regular and side wives.

However, this is just a precaution.

In reality, the regular family is treated higher than the side family.

Now, the question is Sonia's position.

In terms of bloodline, she is more likely to be a concubine.

She is not a pure-blooded High Elf.

However, I don't know if she and the Kingdom of Chellda will accept her position as a concubine.

The Kingdom of Hayastan was a small country, and the Lemurian Empire was overwhelmingly superior to Hayastan, so there was no problem with her being a concubine.

But the Kingdom of Chelda is a large country, and its power is still something to be reckoned with.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.” ”...... Well, it's treated as a legitimate wife, but without the right to inherit the throne.

...... Isn't that a side room?

I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.

In the worst case scenario, you can amend the law to create something in between the regular and side rooms.

Whether she is a legitimate wife or a concubine is just a matter of face and a play on words.

All you have to do is convince Sonia and the Kingdom of Cerda that the right of succession to the throne does not arise.

What do you guys think?

Finally, Hercule asked Carolina, Scheherazade and Lunalie.

Of course, in the patriarchal Lemurian Empire, there was no need to ask the permission of one's existing wife for marriage.

But even so, it would be prudent to ask.

I don't like the little girl who called me a whore.

”I don't like the little girl who called me a whore,” said Lunalie, crossing her arms.

I don't like her calling me a whore,” Lunalie said, crossing her arms.

But I'm not going to argue with your decision. ...... Give me a chance to get even later.

”Well, ...... when we actually get married.

I guess we'll have to call Nia and Alicia then, too.

Hercule felt a little bit of pity for Sonia, ...... though she deserved it the most.

I don't mind at all.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.

The relationship between Scheherazade and Sonia is not so bad.

They were friends when Sonia was a prisoner of war, and they played hand-to-hand.

In that sense, Karolina is the same.

However, Karolina looked unconvinced.

”Are you reluctant to get married, Your Majesty?

”Why do you think so?

I think it is in the national interest of the Lemurian Empire to marry her, but ...... you seem to be looking for a reason not to marry her.

...... Very perceptive.

In fact, if you are willing to marry her, you can decide on her as your absolute sovereign.

You don't need to get the approval of your vassals or even your wife.

But strangely enough, asking his vassals and wife, ”Is it okay if we get married? But the fact that he strangely asks his vassals and wife if they are willing to marry means that Hercule is not willing.

Carolina saw through this.

I think she's a beautiful woman, and it would be nice to have the kingdom of Cerda intact, but what's wrong with you?

”No, well, ...... you're right, though.

It's a good thing that you can get it as it is.

It's a little ...... scary, don't you think?　It's a bit too heavy or crazy to say the least.

””......”

It's true.

They all thought of Sonia's face as her eyes went crazy.
