You are now engaged!

After getting engaged, you are set to get married the next turn, at noon.

While you, the player, don’t have to actively start the production of offspring, you can increase the chance of a pregnancy by spending time with your significant other.

When any of your children reaches the age of 15, you can choose to name them your heir, and they will carry the burden of your dynasty's name and success after your inevitable death. But be aware that the medieval times did have many diseases and dangers rampant, so it’s better to have an heir and a few spares, just in case one or two won’t make it in life.
