You were in a tough spot. Your just some kid of a duke, lucky enough to be chosen to marry a prince..

..but, your prince hates you, and so do all the noble women who wanted your prince. He's avoidant, hasn't even taken you to bed. Now, you don't give a shit if he likes you, but you need to secure your position and that will only happen if you have his kid.

How are you supposed to get your lousy husband, who detests your very marriage to make an heir?

Tough spot indeed.
