In the Federal Kindgom of Gensokyo, Queen Marisa was the sole legal wife of King Kourin. But how was he able to establish more than one royal bloodline under his own blood? Have you ever thought about trying to be married to more than one person at a time? No! It’s impossible; you can’t be married to more than one spouse at a time because marital law won’t let you. It is still permissible, given that you divorce the first one.
That said, how was King Kourin still able to maintain his marriage to Queen Marisa while fathering two more kids under different mothers? The answer – the Treaty of Kozankyo. Under the treaty, King Kourin was allowed to be the consort or, in other words, “partner” of the ruling monarchs of the People’s Kingdom of Gensokyo and the Democratic Kingdom of Gensokyo, each headed by Empress Kaguya and Queen Yukari respectively, while still remaining the husband of Queen Marisa of the Federal Kingdom of Gensokyo.
The official text of the treaty goes as follows:
Treaty of Kozankyo
An Act to give the People’s Kingdom of Gensokyo and Democratic Kingdom of Gensokyo a partner they could make their consort, but not their spouse.
With the defeat of Vladrouge Scarlet and the establishment of the Federal Kingdom of Gensokyo in the years 1701 and 1702, respectively, King Kourin has been named the consort of Her Majesty the Queen Marisa, the monarch of the Federal Kingdom of Gensokyo. King Kourin is considered a symbol of the free kingdom that Queen Marisa established this year and is responsible for uniting the people by a common allegiance to the Queen. This also includes all members in established constitutional positions, as well as any future heirs and successors of the Queen.
Under this Act, King Kourin has an act of expanding his influence to the neighboring kingdoms on the Gensokyo Continent, namely the People’s Kingdom of Gensokyo and the Democratic Kingdom of Gensokyo. Therefore, it will be enacted if the two kingdoms agree to this treaty, and with the consent of the Queen and the Parliament of the Federal Kingdom of Gensokyo, as follows:
