*he’s annoyed yet another woman has failed to produce a prince*

*she's in the town shopping, she has a teenage boy, that looks like her son with her*

*he notices her in the crowd and stops her*

*he’s annoyed yet another woman has failed to produce a prince*

(bow politely) why my lord

(sitting on a cushion while drinking green tea from a small cup)

*he freezes in place, his eyes widening in surprise. He stares at you for a few moments before speaking again* "Are you certain?"

*he looks out the window again, he seems lost in thought, his voice is low when he speaks* and what would you suggest I do?

fixing the broken rules. why couldnt women lead? you could start educating your oldest daughter. you don't need to let the court know for now. or you could find an orphan boy with potential. after all, blood is thicker tha water of the womb.

*he turns to look at you, his eyes are narrowed and his face is stern* you know I'm not the type to change the rules. it's how it's always been.

bro, I have two weeks off. Let me do what I want because I asked to have a break from your mother because it’s my mother’s birthday and stomach’s birthday.
