I was thinking about Jude and Cardan’s marriage. Cardan came up with this plan bc he wanted his will back, which was perfectly valid and fair, but when you think things through, other than having a brand new wife that he loved a lot, this union didn’t benefit him in anything else. Marriage between them only binds him and she was the daughter of a two time traitor, murderer of an ambassador/prince/his fucking brother and mortal. She wasn’t the best candidate for a queen. He really was willing to give her a fancy title, a crown and all the power she wanted and settle for whatever crumbs of affection she might give him in return.

On the other hand, at that point in their relationship, I think that Jude accepted the marriage proposal bc 1) she secretly loved Cardan and thought that this new station in life and relationship status would make it safe to love him openly and was hopeful that he might love her back 2) she really wanted to be queen and have absolute power 3) she did not want to be so scared anymore. In that order. Jude spent the exile angry and cursing and planning Cardan’s demise but she never took off her wedding ring. Girly was feeling absolutely hurt and heartbroken and betrayed and foolish and I’m pretty damn sure she was suffering a lot more about supposedly being dumped by her new hubby than for being the queen in exile.

Anyways, young love is crazy am I right.

Normal couples: get out of my house and never come back!

Cardan: get out of my faerie kingdom and don’t come back *wink*

Some boys will let you get a cat even when they don't like cats, and some boys will allow the guy who orchestrated the murder of almost his entire family in a coup and would do it again and also stabbed you personally in the gut to live just because he's your dad and you feel conflicted about it.

Normal couples when they fight: *Gets kicked out of the house*

The High King and Queen of Elfhame when they fight: You are exiled from Elfhame to the mortal world until such time as you are pardoned by the crown

[cromulentreader]

Jude: *OMG the Land accepted me as Queen!* The Land: Girl! One, you married the King. Two, I sent you a White Stag about 45 chapters ago. Were you paying no attention?
