I enjoy your reasoning. I personally HC the title 'King' in Lucian as being gender neutral, but it /not/ starting as that and throwing a lot of nobles off balance when women were chosen by Bahamut to be king is neat.
You know, when the gender neutral term for the ruling monarch is ‘King’ then the term for the spouse must be ‘Queen’. I spit my tea out at that thought, it’s so funny.
The first time that happened must’ve been hilarious.
You know, I imagine the whole Bahamut choosing a monarch, or King if we go with that as a gender neutral term, going a bit like this:
The Lucis Caelum family plus witnesses stand in front of the crystal. The people were convinced that Creperas uncle - let’s call him... Lemuros - would be king, because until now it’s always been the males in the family who got to rule. Also, Bahamut until now has always approved the one the king chose as his heir.
But there is the prophecy.
And Crepera is actually one of the thirteen chosen Lucii to help the Chosen King.
(Bahamut had to make away with her brother, who was heir before her as is ancient right, because he was older than her.)
So they all stood in front of the crystal. Lemuros and Crepera the only Lucis Caelums left alive and everbody expecting Lemuros to be chosen as he stepped in front of the crystal.
Then the crystal came alive with energy that sounded like a thousand swords being drawn and Bahamut spoke: “All hail the new King. All hail Crepera Lucis Caelum.”
The political lanscape was never the same again.
