[ 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.

I just like people.

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