Been having that little idea of King Xavier who has to remary.
His beloved Queen died giving birth to their daughter but the crown need a male heir (of course 🙄) and so he needs to get to work asap and remarry. Thing is, he still love his Queen so he takes it very badly on women trying to catch him in their nets and trying to replace her.
Enter you.
You've always been told you were not lovable for x y reason so why not accept that mariage anyway and not be disappointed cause you know, from the start, what it's about ?
Be practical about your futur you know ?
Except, you really click with his daughter.
You don't push her away to try and establish your dynasty like some did before you but you don't try to replace her mom either.
You're like that cool aunt she can have fun with and yet found comfort in. She grows fond of you and so does Xavier when he sees that you are kind, smart and funny.
It's not love per se, not really, not like he had with his deceased wife but you turn into that friends/partners/rulers thingy and it's sooooo cool and for the first time you find love.
Maybe not like you dreamed of as a little girl with the buttefly and all but as being really seen.
Just a little thought I had 😊
