She did approach him because of his status in the first place, but it's not crucial to her. Ilya's smart and resourceful, and she has her whole family on her side in this - if she puts her mind to it, she can end this engagement in some other way.
Rather, Karhan not being the heir solves a much bigger problem down the line - their marriage and Ilya's inheritance. She said she wants to be her own family's heir, she wouldn't be able to do that if she has to marry into Karhan's family. If they married, Ilya's family would either be led by her brother, or be absorbed into the ducal family and disappear.
This isn't a problem for her currently because she doesn't plan to actually marry him yet, and nobody else knows she wants to inherit her family and therefore doesn't question their relationship. But we know how these things go - once she realizes she's fallen for him for real, she's probably gonna wanna marry him, and him being the heir would force her to choose between her family and his.

oh where have they gone? where have the elysee defenders all gone? come back! your inspirational girlboss has just admitted to how much she loves torturing her husband and is about to commit sexual assault by proxy!! we need you to write another thinkpiece about how she's actually so relatable!
SUDDENLY all these comments about how Elysee is the real victim. lol. lmfao. Are we forgetting she's committed multiple murders? She is not a good person, at all. She's cruel unprovoked, selfish beyond reason, a total narcissist who doesn't care for anything other than her status and image and is literally willing to kill innocent people for that end.
The reason we root for the wives over the mistresses in other stories isn't because marriage is special or anything, it's just because those specific wives were good people while the mistress wasn't. The opposite is true here. Sally is kind sincerely, she cares about the people around her and puts effort into making them happy, for their own sake, not just to boost her image. She's a good person who got dealt a bad hand in life and still turned out to be benevolent, even to people she doesn't like and who are outright hostile to her (such as Lily).
So I respect her far more than that sorry excuse for a "wife" that's more like a jailer. You lose the right to having the "sanctity" of your marriage respected when you've achieved this marriage by violating your husband's human rights. Fuck all the abusive husbands throughout history who traded women like cattle and trapped their wives in marriage against their will, and fuck Elysee right along with them.
I don't understand the physics at all, but I'm glad to hear via the comments that it's somewhat rooted in reality. I'll take accurate but incomprehensible physics over the usual "haha what if we ROTATE the crops
girl if you don't remove your butt from that throne ill remove your head from your neck
lmfao didn't edith and killian just get it on. lize is about to be humiliated and i can't wait.
he's going to get her an invitation isn't he I'M SO EXCITED
well now I'm pissed. what a piece of shit pathetic excuse for a king. you will never be as good as your brother. grovel and beg for forgiveness.
personally I'm on her side. the dots between her and the bird seem VERY easy to connect, considering this is already a fantasy world, so a holy bird turning into a human would not be that far-fetched. so they're both a lil stupid, but at least she has an excuse.
what a politically incompetent emperor. "he's done so much good for the country...!" bitch can't even pretend to visit lady touran, for example, to balance things out.
speaking of, touran is mega sus. suddenly collecting candle holders, one of which looks like a bull. hmmmmmmm.
anyway im sick of shuka's inaction. stop just taking it all with your head down. bunch of useless people, they all deserve each other.
(man, this fontstyle just makes me feel like getting aggressive)
idc what he told her, i choose to tell myself he shortened his lifespan to match hers even if he didn't turn himself completely human.
holy shit. i was wondering why the girls in s2 ch15 had such unnatural hair and eyes suddenly, and literally a day later i start reading "I am the master in this life" AND THEYRE THE MAIN CHARACTERS AHAHA
destiny??
I feel a little bit bad for him tbh. He was stupid for abandoning Kaelus and thinking just him being happy was enough - like how exactly would this make Kaelus feel better? Don't just assume things like that, dumbass prince.
But he's still been working hard for the empire and even for Diana. He had no idea she was such a snakey fuckup. I wish he had found someone better for him, who hadn't forced him to compete and break up with his best friend, who could be pragmatic and sincere.
I can't blame him for falling for Hestia either lmao. Wouldn't we all? She's wonderful. It's fine as long as he doesn't interfere with them - and based on his own shame about it, I assume he won't. Rather, isn't this good karmic justice? Now he gets to feel what it's like to lose his love to his best friend.
this is weirdly entertaining. like not constantly, but back and forth - the story flips between extremely generic romance and DRAMATIC PLOT TWIST generic romance DRAMATIC PLOT TWIST romance PLOT TWIST, and so on. just when i feel like dropping it, there's another twist.
