The consorts are straight up dipshits

Hey, let's be fair now, just for a minute. They were married off - most likely against their will - and their whole life revolves around the Prince. They are probably hounded by their parents as well - "Make him favor you so that I will gain status along with you, you useless girl."
A harem (a real one) is no joke to the women stuck in it. They all compete with each other, back-stab each other, have nothing to do but worry about their status. Why should they all have genuine feelings for the Prince?
The person who does the art definetely knows what good ass looks like, like imagine making the ukes from "Incidentally Living Together", "The Sound of Fire", "Sura's Lover" and "1886" have such a fat ass, i love the artist and the pages where we have ukes full ass view ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
