"I know that getting married is more involved for noblewomen than it is for commoners," Ollie said, clearly not understanding how 'complicated' things could become. "Didn't Owain have to spend years courting you before you and your parents agreed to the marriage? With trips from Lothian to Blackwell or Blackwell to Lothian, I know it isn't easy," he said.
"But at the same time, isn't it just a fancy version of what common folk do?" Ollie asked. "If a woman fancies a man, or a man fancies a woman, then they should talk, spend time together, and decide if they're right for each other. Hopefully, their families agree to it," he added after thinking for a moment.
"I think it would be hard if I fancied a woman that my parents despised for some reason," Ollie mused. "But then, I can't imagine that I'd ever care for someone who my parents wouldn't like."
