As informed by the royal advisor, at the next royal court session, the proposal of choosing the next Queen of Megaris was put on the agenda. With each passing day, the voices of the nobles grew louder and louder, with the majority of them supporting Lady Clarisa's legitimacy to ascend to the position.
However, when news of Lady Yavia, the Second Concubine, expecting a child spread everywhere, the united front of the faction backed by Duke Walter began showing signs of fracture.
Some of the royal court members supported Lady Yavia who was expecting the King's child as a possible candidate as well, especially considering the weight of having the Kingdom of Hatha backing her.
In the next royal court sessions, the infighting worsened, and it became obvious there were three camps—those who favour the First Concubine, those who vouch for the Second Concubine, and the neutral parties. With divided interests involved, the King could reject the proposal with more ease.
