Fellow Swan Princess Enjoyer here, you have excellent taste. 😘Since you mentioned A is a hunter, I can’t help but picture A making their staff run around the grounds in a mock hunt a la Practice,Practice,Practice 😂😂
You’ve mentioned in an ask that A will visit MC’s family from time to time- did they grow closer due to the shared loss? Are MC’s parents and siblings aware that A cared deeply/was falling in love (if applicable) with MC? And we’re A’s parents affected by MC’s kidnapping besides “darn, there goes a royal merger”? Also it’s very sweet that A’s baby sister and MC’s baby sister had each other especially during what I imagine to be very tumultuous years growing up🩵
I could definitely see A doing that with the staff that volunteer to do so 😂 — all the while Leia is watching on the terrace, tea in hand, discarded book off to the side, completely amused by her sibling. (A’s best friend would totally participate too.) And, as a small side note, this is totally the song of A’s childhood.
The Aetherian Royal Family has definitely grown closer with the Crown Heir of Aerilon (and their sister), as A truly didn’t have to continue on with the relationship the way that they had, but, without fail, they still try to send letters for important dates, holidays, and will give presents for birthdays and festivals.
Nyra is partially aware of how A feels, Leonidas more so as he knows what it’s like to fall for an Aetherian Royal (and what said fall looks like in another). The siblings are less so aware: Elarin had other things to focus on, Kalyn is most cognizant of it but they never gave it much thought, and Isadora was too young.
As for A’s parents? Their mother had been absolutely crushed by the events as she always treated you with the upmost care and love. Unfortunately, she passed away a few years ago (something your MCs will be able to react to). As for their father? He was put off by it, yes. He had his reasons for wanting the match to begin with— not all of them having to do with political aspect of it— and he wasn’t too thrilled that years of planning just went down the drain. Still, he felt sympathy for the MCs family and he hoped that you’d be found soon (and that you were safe).
Isadora and Leia’s relationship is one that I adore and I can’t wait for you all to experience it too. It’s a reflection of A’s and the MCs (in a way), but different all the same.
