Thank you for answering. I actually just finished watching Charlotte demo with friend(she SQUEED like crazy, btw)and I could Definitely see the workings of some serious political intrigue with the More hands-on approach of MC's mother speaking on the fate of her own house as well as Charlotte's. With that route it felt more out of the frying pan into the Fire kind of start, as opposed to Sofia's where you get A Lot more background on current events and the idea that peace talks will happen (as well as Sofia's family possibly being implicated due to new union) - but it's a bit more Vague how MC will be directly involved with the volatile political landscape(beyond being at peace talks). So I absolutely saw your quoted piece in Action.
Apologies if it seemed like I was taking your words out of context -- I more so Read that section and it made me think on what I asked. Given this particular game's Circumstances - and how Male romances are the only ones that lead to the throne - it naturally feels they'd have More *Weight*, story-wise. Going at it from the Stance of the F/F relationship is akin to being the Underdog. From what I've learned in Charlotte's demo, it looks like the MC could have the Possibility of playing both warring sides like her mother (i.e. not Getting the throne, but Deciding who *Does*). Which makes me Very Interested from that Female perspective -- because it seems those 2 routes will have a More guileful touch. Which: Awesome in its own way! My biggest Fear was just not feeling like I got cheated, story-wise, because I didn't end up with a quote on quote 'non-Influencer' male character.
