Demacian Lore Question

TenshouSNK·11/17/2015, 8:15:09 AM·1 votes·1,138 views

Hey guys, keeping aside personal opinion, likes/dislikes, etc. From a story stand point, I had a hypothetical question. If there were a scenario where Quinn actually got married to J4 (keep in mind that there are a lot of hints regarding the relationship from the story and from some lore writers), how would someone who grew up to become a scout and always been out in the wilderness adapt to the lifestyle of royalty in a place, i.e debating with politicians, passing laws, passing judgments, sending criminals to prison, passing execution decrees and ruling in general? Or would she do pretty much the same thing she is doing right now? Scouting? Wouldn't that be dangerous for a Queen to do by herself? That said, how could she grasp and rule like a proper leader and crush scum/villainy wherever it may lurk under her heel? And, hypothetically, if the King and Queen had a kid, boy heir, Jarvan V, who on earth will spend time with this kid when his mom is always outside scouting and his dad is always busy with "royal things" ? Better yet, who would protect this kid from being targeted or attacked? Judging by the lifestyle of Quinn, I don't think she will sit on a throne all day long. Just saying.

Considering what we learned from Fiora's new lore um....would a Queen be expected to do anything except have children?

Valor is the nurse, the nanny, the chef, and occasionally....the dinner.

I get the impression from what we've seen in the lore that J4 is actually rather more radical in terms of his personal policies than his parents and the rest of the current Demacian monarchy are. Two of his most trusted agents are a half-dragon that nobody else would touch (and would probably be happier banishing/having executed) and what most Demacian royalty would consider an uppity commoner after all.

So if he ended up marrying said commoner, I imagine J4 would just say, "She's her own woman and can do as she wishes."

Which would probably wind up having pretty big political repercussions down the road if J4 was ever in a position to take the throne. And I don't think it's ever been stated if he has siblings or is an only child, which would effect if he'd even get said throne or just be shuffled off to his own little corner of the kingdom to stay out of the main monarchy's hair.

And as for raising a child, this is why royalty hires nannies.

Do you really think J4 does any of those things? So far what riot lore has told me is that J4 is a spoiled kid that alwasy gets his country in trouble.
