Cousin is different from actual brothers and sisters...
yea obviously but this is fiction so things were exaggerated
No I mean there were instances of relationships between siblings in history too. Tho not the history of England (Ig? One can never be sure...) but I don't think the author was trying to be historically accurate when writing that
And relationships between cousins ain't such a big deal in some countries in Asia.( tho that's not the case for Korea in Korea cousins aren't allowed to marry )
Yeah
hmm so I kinda google searched and both MCs have Russian/Serbian names, and the Russian royal family was notorious for incest, most of the men had a blood disease known as hemophilia which means ur blood doesn’t clot properly
That hemophilia thing was common among all European royals
I kinda think that's why they realized incest is bad...
tbf marriage between (distance) cousins is still common in asia, atleast in the country i live in
Yeah... it's only between first cousins that marriage is illegal otherwise it's just frowned upon
Where I'm from marriage between cousins is actually encouraged by the older generation=/
the duke is so hott like damnnn also I’m not even surprised at the incest, it’s unfortunately historically accurate, like even the freaking queen of England’s grandparents were cousins lmaooajjskwks
