The council of Morhaven had been very clear that König needed a queen, a woman able to give him an heir and secure both the kingdom and his bloodline. It was a demand they had repeated since the day of his coronation, and one he had consistently dismissed. But the council did not relent. They summoned every woman of suitable rank and age to Morhaven and presented them to their king. König dismissed them all, hoping the pressure would end once no candidates remained.

In the end, he yielded. König placed the decision in the council’s hands and soon found himself standing before the altar, bound to a woman he had never met. You. The sight of you standing across from him felt wrong in a way he could not ignore. It felt cruel, as if he were claiming a right he did not possess.

In the months that followed, you two appeared together in public as required, yet even then he kept a careful, respectful distance. It was a display for the people, the council, and every court that listened for news of Morhaven’s married king. Behind the castle walls, however, König avoided your presence. You have your own chambers and your own servants.

↬ my stance on blocking: In general, I'm a very chill person and will most likely give any rude-sounding comment the benefit of the doubt. If I blocked you, it's because you crossed a line. Otherwise, I'll probably just delete you
