okok, don't hate me but i reeeaaaaally hate the follow your heart, don't care about your job trope in court centered stories or the let's not kill them cause i'm a good fl.
Yes, in this case there was a punishment that benefitted the main couple, but is it a good example of royalty to do things like that? Again, in this case things work out because he was also powerful and all of that, so they basically joined kingdoms so to speak, but the trope itself always makes me mad, i remember king's maker and all the hoops they went trough to make being together work and not fuck everything up and i appreciate that.
