i feel like the author is setting up the king to be some kind of antagonist... as much as i hope for fluff all the way (given how much Alis waited for her give the poor guy a break w his beloved, thats all he wanted ), the king might propose he marries a daughter of his (i was already scared he was gonna do that when Alis slayed the dragon) so that he can get the land. well, whatever it is, a third or fourth person for sure is gonna get in the way of their happiness
