There are two candidates from the next closest bloodlines - Yakov from the Chernenkov family, Artur from the Gustav family - and since the king has yet to formally declare either of them his heir, the jockeying for position has only contributed to the country's political unrest.

Talented women who want to develop and make use of their skills tend to leave Sanct Sybil for nations where they can pursue their interests, and women who lack male family members to financially support them face considerable hardships, with single mothers often forced to leave their children in the care of orphanages because they're unable to work to support them. [[spoiler:Inspired by the protagonist's example, Ivan succeeds in passing a bill to protect the rights of women to work, but everyone admits that real improvement is not going to come quickly and it's going to be a long haul to bring Sanct Sybil's gender equality up to speed with the rest of the world.]]
