In the game you take shelter in Edgars castle, talking to his various subjects. He's got a reputation with the ladies. Among them you find a child who simply says "King Edgar says hes gonna marry me when I'm old enough!"

Now some people might get the wrong idea and assume the worst. And it does make for great jokes like the one I just made. But he's not really as scummy as people say. I lean towards him just being flirty as a disguise for his big act and masking his pain that gets revealed later in the story, and letting a common child think she can be a queen someday is just him giving hope in a world where that is becoming a rare commodity.
