Ok alex is prince because the king wanted alex parents to rule because they were the most capable but they had their reasons as to why they didn't so the king decided to make alex prince since he doesn't plan on having any and his wife infertile, if u read the first story u understand better as to yessica I'm bit confused on that to and why would she need to be engaged if he loses right if he hurts her or kills her?

Alex is a crown prince because the king, his uncle, is unable to have children. (Explained in light and shadow). Alex's parents are Duke and duchess which commonly is the second most powerful family in a monarchy as they're related to royalty. So Alex being crown prince AND a dukes son makes sense.
Bangs (I also forgot her name trololol) is a candidate to marry Alex in a political marriage.
Twins backstory:
Country has a tradition that the strongest will rule regardless of political suave or background. Women get short end of the stick. Basically cows for birthing .Dad marries mom, they do the deed in front of people (actually a common practice back in the day to ensure pregnancy and child is the husband's, not some sexy squire boy's). Mom couldn't handle the shame. Commits suicide.
While dad was alive, he didn't want his daughters to go through the same fate as his wife, so to protect them he made a new rule that you can't kill the kin of the late king. Also the kin have to approve the new king for ascession to be valid. It's implied that approval= marriage. The strongest ruling all tradition, however, still remains. Fredrick kills Jessica's dad, is dubbed the strongest, but has to wait for Jessica to officially be an adult so they can do the nasty and he is recognized as official king.
ALL THIS IN SEVEN CHAPTERS WHAT..?!
Hope that helps
is this right?
so there are two princesses, yessica and the one with the bangs (sorry, don't remember her name) Jessica is engaged to federik and bangs is a candidate to Alex who is the dukes son, but still the prince? how does that work? and also this federik guy is trying or going to be king? but he hurt the two princesses who, if you hurt u will not gain the tittle hero or can be crowned king. but he still did it?
