could the king be worong

The silk worm king, refused outright to bless the marriage of his son to the leather princess; even though the wise mystics said it was a pious match made for the heavens, and most certainly would produce offspring that would bring on a new dawn for this dying world. It wasn't that the king didn't want this with all his heart; in fact, he was the one who first prophesied such union, whilst the swine were entrusting their faith to stones! It was just, that he didn't have any faith, that a leather princess could ever truly sacrifice her fibrous, eternal, leatheriness being for the fragile and ephemeral existence  of a silk-worm.
