Why was there political pressure to force Fiora into marriage? I never got that part. So people do not have free will in Demacia? Also judging by her personality, why would anyone marry someone with such a attitude of being arrogant and stubborn? I don't think any person besides Jax would have the patience lol

Why was there political pressure to force Fiora into marriage? I never got that part.

Demacia sounds like a typical patriarchal fantasy kingdom. Women need to marry to pop out heirs most likely. That or other families want to marry into the Fleurent family.

So people do not have free will in Demacia?

They're implied to be a psuedo-fascist, the individual isn't important but the nation-state of Demacia is. A single person doesn't matter but how they contribute to the nation-state does matter. This means you do what's best for your country at cost to yourself.

In a sense, there's no free will. Demacia isn't a bastion of freedom or liberty but sounds more like order and justice.

Also judging by her personality, why would anyone marry someone with such a attitude of being arrogant and stubborn? I don't think any person besides Jax would have the patience lol

Look man. I don't know how to break this to you.

But Fiora, she's got these things... called breasts. She also has a nice butt if you're into that.

And like, well, she's rich. And she's not half-bad to look at it. She's also hot. Did I mention rich?

... so she has a spoiled rotten personality that's arrogant and stubborn...

...but she's rich and hot you say? And female? That's a big plus.

I... I don't know what else to say.

she has no brother or siblings? Oh I hope not, or they might get bullied lol.

She does have siblings.

But...

Fiora took control of the family from her father in the wake of a scandal that nearly destroyed them. House Laurent's reputation was sundered, but Fiora bends her every effort to restore her family's honor and return them to their rightful place among the great and good of Demacia.

So Fiora is head of the family. Marrying a brother or sibling isn't going to do much to get in her good graces when she controls the family fortune, land, and assets.

no what I meant to say is I would like to see her brother become a champion. If she has a brother.

as for the reason why she was pressured, in this case i think it was about bringing the families closer together for political benefits. but Demacia sounds like a country that doesn't believe in a woman being a head of a family or a leader due to number of reasons.

why would anyone marry someone with such a attitude of being arrogant and stubborn?

she doesn't really come off as arrogant to me.stubborn? hell yeah but not arrogant. but if she is : could be number of reasons. like they had no idea about her personality or they did but didn't care. or that it is no relevant because the actual purpose of a marriage isn't two people living together as much as it is about the political benefits. or that the crownguard dude that was suppose to marry her was forced into it like fiora

In some middle eastern cultures there's these things called arranged marriages so it is kinda like that.

Nylisa1 votes

those things were actually global and came way before middle eastern countries. it was a thing since 2000 years ago or even before it in china or most European countries.

I mean they don't do it as much in places outside of the middle east anymore. I know about arranged marriage in white european culture cause I watch game of thrones.

It is most prominent in middle east places
