the emperor
prince
I am the prince to the king. I am the rightful heir to the throne. I need to marry a young princess.
Here lies my mother, the queen.  There will never be another like her. And soon I will join her, my son. Tell me, are you prepared to bear the weight of the crown? Ah, I cannot bear the burden alone.  You must help me find a wife! To walk this Earth alone is indeed a tragic life for any man let alone the Emperor. How is it that you have found yourself unlucky in love, my child? You know that I have loved but one woman, and she was taken from me by the sea.  Alas, I will no longer marry for love, but for the good of this kingdom.  Surely by marriage I can bring us together with our enemies from the north.  Will you help me with this plan, father? Marry a northerner?! Have you grown weak in your grief? How can you see any such alliance with the northern blight as beneficial to the Empire? But father, can you not concede that making peace with the north will be essential for our access to the copper mines under their control? We should have taken those mines decades ago. Oh! If only I had not been so careless in my youth! The foothills would already be ours. Yes, of course we need access to these mines. I wish the princess was not such a bore, but can you imagine the power we will have with control of the copper and then our emeralds mined in our own region?  Mother would approve of this unholy union. Your mother was a very pragmatic woman. She was the best among my inner circle of confidants. Yes, she would approve. Have you met the princess? You say she is a bore? Is it possible that she is shy? I have heard from the wenches of the town. One was her maid before she was fired.  I know, I know, I should not keep such company, but I find them amusing. My word! My son conversing with wenches and courting northerners! Perhaps I should just crawl into my tomb now!
