Well i guess it's because the king said for elise to prove herself as a doctor that is more ( idk what term to use ) worthy? than becoming an empress and her giving some advice for the supposed to be upcoming war is empress-like??
But the old guys (doctors?) are realizing that it's such a waste for elise to become just an empress so i hope she at least gets to be both (if that's possible ╮(￣▽￣)╭ )
I think there's something he wants from her, and he doesn't plan to back down. but I don't think the King is a bad person
yas, i think that the king just really wants Elise to be his daughter in law/ Empress.
Elise has actually done so much?? Like she saved so many people (including the King himself) and she helped decrease the casualties in the war. She discovered new methods of surgery and everybody's praising her so much. She's like the equivalent of that really special alchemist or something, but it's STILL not more worthy than becoming the next empress? What does she have to DO OLD MAN???
