wym? empress never had a child and now first born is a daughter which is a disgrace to royalty as they need a son to be the crown prince, continue the bloodline and maintain power
It seems that there was something off when they were told that the queen was pregnant.
i mean its so obvious- cause the child is female
In this world technically no. Since the princess can also be a crow princess. They are just being dicks. The duchess was originally supposed to be empress
gender still plays a huge role in everything. a male patriarchy is still very dominant to them, although not as much of a taboo as it seems. this is depicted when the princes killed each other to get the throne. the deaths of all the males meant she was next in line. but because she stepped down, her half brother (we assume one of his parents was not the reigning emperor/empress) became the current emperor. thus we can conclude that legitimacy >>> gender. but males will still automatically be the heirs. to the emperor, there is still a threat to his seat on the throne so not having a son is an open invite to lets say damian (who's technically a prince) or even mikhail (heir to a dukedom) to be in line for the throne.
No after all the nobles prefer the princess over the king
Correct my point exactly. They do prefer the duchess. And though one could argue that yes, a prince would been preferable for better standing against the Duchess' son or the duchess her self because sexism. But a princess is okay none the less because again if the Duchess' son is a threat.. who comes from the former princess' lineage. That means that baby princess has alot of legitimacy as well.
yo my point flew out of yalls heads i wont bother including anything more lmfaoo
It's starting to get confusing. Why is it a problem for the pregnancy and then the birth.? Not understanding.
