Now Chapter 35 of Hell Hath No Fury did in no way modify these, so strictly speaking Andrin has to marry a Uromathian Princess, not Prince
Clearly in light of this fact the treaty will need to be reworded
To which PeterZ replied, quoting me, but not can't triple nest quote here
PeterZ wrote:Not really, because the text assumes an "Issue" from that marriage. Not possible of same sexed marriage. Adoption isn't in the cards because of both inhereted talents and genetic lineage. The key point is "Royal", not "Imperial" princess. This means that a the Heir of Ternathia and Sharona must marry a princess born either to an Uromathian king or Emperor. It does not specify that the princess be an Uromathian Imperial Princess which would pretty much limit the options to Chava's line. Chava is the Emperor of Uromathia after all.
Whoever snuck that Royal descriptor into the language was both sneaky and subtle enough to slip it by Chava. Undoubtedly, Chava will not respond well to this tactical defeat.
So can anyone explain this to me? Or is it simply a case of a per-written plot arc and provided textev that wasn't fully thought out
