Naw that motherfucker is not only trash but evil, cheating man are no no
Yeah but not the typical evil king in these genre, like the 'i will do anything to gain power even if it needs to sacrifice one of my son to satan, acting nonsense like pressing power to weak characters and hiring assassins to my own unwanted son' type of shit. Well he barely come into pictures anyway. Cheating is not ok until they are the man characters, fighting their true love against the witch villain who became queen with money and power. So its just a matter of pov to me.
Cheating ain't ok even if it's a woman's character. If she's also found cheating too then she trash and evil. Fighting their true love? Girly pop is not a commoner (I think), he could have pushed if he wanted to. But no dude's a motherfucker.
He needed the queens dowry because the queen was princess from rich kingdom meanwhile the king's kingdom was described as 'almost empety room'. So yeah. Thats how and why.
The first prince is evil, but not really? The queen is kinda evil, but not really?? The king might be trashy, but hes also not really evil???
I guess the slow burn is to slow that the fire is out before anything happening.
