What this person mean is Octavia having a hard time having crush on other guys cause they end up having a relationship with the same sex which is boyxboy. So doesn't that mean woman other than Octavia also experiencing the same thing as her cause most guys end up unavailable. Since same sex relationships were allowed anyway, octavia should consider finding a woman to be her fake lover as another option rather than focusing on finding guys. Tho I think she just didn't think of this option since she's hetero lol ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
You actually have a good point, but after reading ch 5, I wonder if they would even accept her being with a woman (even if it's just a fake romance). In the early pages of ch 5, the king mentions that the FL is the treasure of the kingdom (see pages 5-6). The treasure is the one who will give birth to children that will become heir to the throne. The FL won't be able to get pregnant if she's involved with another woman, so I worry that the king would reject a (fake) female lover
Sure she could say that, but the question is if it would work. Might be safer to go for a guy when the King is more likely to accept a man so they can get the heir they want than her being with a woman and risk her rejecting any male suitor because of it. Wouldn't be the first time a leader of a nation says they're fine with someone's choices but later on changes their mind to achieve their goals when they realize their initial promise fucks with their plans
If she’s suffering from the problem that all her crushes fell in love with other guys, then wouldn’t there be a lot of girls suffering from the same problem? I mean if Octavia really wants to get a lover, and her family supports same sex relationships with males, then why can’t she find a female lover? And she even says the relationship would be fake so get a girl to pretend to be her lover while looking for an actual male one, and when they both find a real lover then they can break up.
