Life Goes On
Tight-belting was one of the oldest tradition in Arcus' kingdom. Nobles who had nothing better to do would start wearing a tight belt since the earliest childhood and let the body develop itself around it, resulting in an extreme baby-sized waist which was for some reason considered very beautiful in that kingdom :3
Arcus was once the prince of that kingdom, and like all princes, he was expected to do nothing else but just have an ideal waist and basically serve as an object of worship; so he had a whole team of priests and medics who took care of his waist basically since the day he was born.
What do you think? 😄
