If i were her, the words on the bubble of the last panel will be "oh.. he is so cute af!!", instead of "oh.. he's virgin".
Oh and @faulty450 , yeah you r right it is that easy, just adopt a son but, the bloodline of atalenta will be perished if it's like that.
And that is why the vassals willing to search for a lady and sacrifice a considerable amount of money.
It is to continue the bloodline.
Please excuse my bad english. I'm not a native speaker.
Chill girl no need to flaunt your chad status damn.
@faulty450 this is a aristocratic society where your bloodline is the most important part of your credentials. If they adopted, people could easily find out and usurp the adopted heir's claim as a breach of contract. Its why they looked for a 'wife' to produce one in the first place. Also that solution would make for a boring story with this kind of set up
