Look, until Elodie shows up, I want to believe that the reason she doesn’t talk about her coward, frog husband is because her grief is too much.
She is a princess, with a beautiful golden ball that fell into a pond, that when the time came for her to step up and defend her people against giants, she fucking stood up. She is a princess with a golden mace who did everything she could for crown, country and people.
Elodie fell in love with the flower boy next door and it was true. She knows it was true because Gerard was always a little soft and silly but he made her laugh, proved to her that she wasn’t a shallow, spoiled princess, and when she kissed the top of his frog head, he turned into a handsome prince.
How do you explain that story to a group of women whose princes never showed up during the times of darkness?
Gerard, despite the fact that he flinches at loud noises, doesn’t like dogs, and snaps way too quickly at the staff, is a prince who showed up and their story is mostly about falling in love.
Elodie can relate to Snow and Cinderella when it comes to battles and dead mothers and living for a cause to thwart destiny but I have to believe she is grieving the loss of her true love.
And that’s not something the other princesses have had and lost. Elodie isn’t twice upon a time yet. She might have been enlightened in some way but she’s still the previous world’s Elodie.
Which makes her unique.
No wonder Gerard is able to put his book away and hope that he has a chance at being a part of Elodie’s story again. Their story was good the first time. He knows what it is that they have to lose--they both do.
And maybe, that is a destiny worth stealing from the authors.
But what do I know? I’m just a hopeless shipper romantic.
