6. Succession: Do you think it is acceptable for the adopted princess, Ayano, to become the next queen of Margel and the Empress of Welfern?
The issue of succession always consists of three aspects: legitimacy from the point of view of the monarch's morality, legitimacy from the point of view of public acceptance of this scheme, and, of course, the competence of the heir.For a monarch, it is often a matter of honor not to make too drastic changes to the laws. Of course, in difficult times, it is sometimes absolutely necessary to show flexibility and, at the same time, firmness in reforming any aspects of the state, including the selection of an heir, and this is exactly what King Arual did, defining the circle of people who could and could not claim the throne. This is what Thorvik the Founder, the first monarch, did, designating King Arual as his heir, although he was not his eldest son. When the state is not on the verge of collapse or a terrible civil war, and is not going through a stage of primary formation, there is often no reason to violate traditions, and this is clearly demonstrated by the entire subsequent history of the kingdom, and then the empire. Another question is that most kings obviously had no reason to change anything, and the internal psychological temptations of those who remained regarding their successors are now unknown to us.
Returning to the main topic, of course, I cannot know for sure the opinion of Her Majesty Naria es Diesra Arual on this matter, although I assume that tradition is really important to Her, but if necessary, She will be able to make changes with a light heart.
The people will accept a change to the constitution only if the ruler is extremely popular, and in the case of Welfern, there is a serious limitation in the form of the senate and council, which may have their own opinion regarding future leaders of the country. Of course, in the case of Her Majesty, it is impossible for Her to lack support, and yet there is no doubt that She will take into account the exact amount of credit of trust in all Her actions, being a far-sighted person. It is also necessary to take into account the popularity of the hypothetical heir: and again, in the case of Her Highness Ayano, it seems that this problem is not a problem, the applause at the coronation on November 20 clearly showed this.
I cannot judge competence, except to note two things: firstly, Thorvik the Founder already put this factor above traditions, and, although the conditions were special, he did not fail. Secondly, the ability to gain popularity is already at least a significant part of what is required of a ruler, so I quite allow that Her Highness would not have any problems in a hypothetical position.
An additional consideration is what impact the change to the constitution of Arual will have on the future. Unfortunately, it is impossible to deny that in the long line of succession, there will inevitably come a time, albeit rarely for our country, when a crisis occurs (in other words, a moment when the decisions made are controversial). What lesson will future generations learn and how will they use such a precedent, if it were to happen? Anything is possible, including a rather unfavorable outcome in the form of the coronation of a very unworthy person simply because she earns a good name with one of the future monarchs through flattery, deception, and psychological tricks.
Thus, I find the answer to the question of permissibility to be: "It is not my position to judge due to incomplete information (and due to the fact that I do not have such a right at all), but rather yes than no. However, if yes, then due to the consideration of future security of the country, it is worth thinking in advance about a mechanism that limits this practice, so that not everyone can participate in the adoption scheme and to protect the further changes to the Constitution in this important matter from complete and excessive softening."
