I'm just teasing, Won! But if you like someone, it's completely worth holding their hand a little. I wouldn't mind putting in the effort if it's for someone worthwhile.
[there's just a soft little sigh, even though he's still waiting to not be pink]
I'm a king, but nevermind that...
[leave him alone....]
I think that's very sweet of you, Hilda - I hope that there's someone who makes you feel that happy and dedicated someday. They ought to earn your favor and truly put in the effort to make you feel treasured.
[ hilda would be much more affected by this revelation if she didn't sit at a lunch table with three of the most powerful heirs of her continent. instead, she just looks kind of amused, not so much as offering to start with your majesty or anything. ]
Maybe someday—I'd love if someone spoiled me like that, but I don't know if I'm ready to settle down.
[ as much as she'd like to find love, there's no urgency to her voice, light as ever. there's no rush. her life goes at her own pace. ]
What about you? You don't seem like you're out there looking for a beautiful girl to make queen.
[if she did then he would just reject it - please don't call him by formality......
but there's just a smile at that, laughing.]
Ah, I'm afraid I don't really understand things like romance or love very well... I think once I'm done preparing my country and accomplishing my goals, I'll give the throne to the next person who can rule fairly and competently after me.
Looking for a queen and worrying about an heir sound more like a hassle.... though I suppose if it's ever necessary for political ties, I'll consider it.
I will for as long as I have goals and ambitions that I need to accomplish - ways to keep my country strong so we can't be invaded by another power....
But other than that, I don't really have a desire for the throne. It was simply the most effective way to accomplish what I need to do.

That's - quite alright! I don't know if I'm in a position where I can think about things like that and -
Really, you shouldn't have to hold someone's hand through it if you truly like them.

I just like people.

You're not going to hold onto your status?
[ that's pretty unheard of, especially for a king. ]
