but wouldnt golden hair and eyes be essential for a ruler? like the hair in particular has magical powers and stuff?
I think if the king is not golden hair and golden eyes they can't use magic idk tho
exactlyy ^^ so if wolfgang chooses not to bear a child then the royal bloodline would be cut off then they'd ultimately lose those golden features right? idk if i missed it when i first read the story but the magic powers might be important like when wolfgang's hair cured that kid and stuff
The next ruler could definitely have golden hair and eyes, and I totally wouldn't mind that either. I said "may not" cause whether the next ruler has those features or not, I'd rather it be because they are genuinely suited to become the next leader and not because they have golden hair and eyes. The magic is useful and looks cool, but it isn't necessary to rule a kingdom. I mean, Wolfgang can only use it a limited amount of times and so far I think he's doing a pretty good job without being reliant on magic. Choosing to have a child would also go against what the story is about because a lot of this story is about Wolfgang breaking old traditions and opening doors to lost ones. We know that the tradition of having your biological heir take the throne has not always worked out. Wolfgang may be good but his dad was terrible. Whose to say Wolfgang's kid will be a good king, or his kid's kid and so forth. What you say may be true, but I think it'd be nice to see Wolfgang and Shin break this cycle.
take the crown
I honestly would not mind Wolfgang having a queen, HOWEVER, from what we've seen in the past 2 seasons, the story is a lot about differentiating Wolfgang's reign from previous reigns or even leaders from other areas and highlighting the ways in which Wolfgang and Shin are improving the country (while facing difficulties in their relationship). Other than his golden hair and eyes, Wolfgang is altruistic, treats all his staff well, open minded, asks for equality when choosing knights, etc. For the story to continue with this theme, it would make significantly more sense for Wolfgang and Shin to end up together and find another person to rule (whether it's now or when they're old) such as Gareth or someone who may not have golden hair and eyes.
