This is it exactly BW. Aneurin being "King" is more of a burden than anything else. And there are a lot of elves who would rather see him dead than King. So he needs that threat of the Redcaps which is why...
See BW's post haha, now with the serious face. Currently, Aneurin gets most of his authority from Yorwrath's Redcaps, and a little bit through Islwyn and the druids. Only the Dragon clan supports Aneurin completely, but most of them are far away, and they only have a handful in Aneurin's camp (and clearly they're willing to draw blood for their King). So if the Redcaps were to turn on Aneurin because he's taken a human for a "bride" (They don't know that he has yet, to answer your review, but they're suspicious) he'd be royally fucked
And Kokoa! Since the reply thing won't let me get under the quote for some reason I'm going to answer you here lol. Human's aren't the same thing to every elf! It's not like I put you in Yorwrath's harem lol, there's a reviewer who also commented on... how Islwyn "treated" Valentina lol. And I'm with both of you, that was... nice.
