since i’m procrastinating again.. from estel’s pov, the marriage between lord vincent and isabel would be a statement. a decisive move, basically a declaration of war on almaste. exactly what vincent is trying to avoid or at least put off for as long as possible. she also wants to declare him king. he will refuse and suggest another candidates.  from vincent’s pov, this is abusing an innocent person he’s now responsible for. unwillingly. besides, he has plenty other responsibilities atm. not to mention a SO. orion. btw he’s gay. orion says he doesn’t care if vincent marries her because it’s a political marriage and it has to be done.
