Right he looked like a soyboy .. but then what's the point in hiding her gender if she daughter from a concubine
Because of the factions. New vs old. They probably wouldn’t have rallied behind a woman if they don’t let women inherit titles
That i understand but their is already a crown prince.. unless princess don't get fair treatment
Let me break it down again.
Crown Prince = old faction. Bad.
Second Prince = new faction. Good.
Women = Bad. Can’t inherit titles. Can’t lead. Can’t be knights.
So second princesss is made into a prince to lead the New faction.
So it’s crown prince vs second prince to see who will be the next king. Likely assassinations could be involved.
I bet the prince is actually a princess.
