Just out of curiosity... Since Aedrick has been soft in love with MC since the beginning, what WOULD he have done had MC actually married Aedan? *Especially* if down the line Aedan makes it obvious how little he actually does care for MC. For added drama, maybe throw in an am affair with Royal Mistress Helene
Oooooh
This scenario would happen if Ædan hadn't met Helene prior to his and MC's wedding, meaning that Ædan is still keeping up his act as a loving fiancé.
In this case, Ædric would pretty much be like Angelica in the Hamilton musical with her line in the song Satisfied,
"At least I keep his eyes in my life."
because all he sees at this point is that Ædan is treating MC well and MC is happy. Ædric would lock away his feelings and throw the box into the deepest pits of hell if it meant that MC would always be as radiant as they were on their wedding day, and just being able to witness everyday how their eyes seem to twinkle when they smile, even when those smiles aren't meant for him, is an added bonus that he would always be grateful for.
Ædan would still maintain his façade as the ideal husband until he meets and falls in love with Helene.
As he gets to know Helene, the time he'd spend with MC would diminish over time, always giving them excuses so that he could meet with Helene in secret, until he realizes that he loves Helene. Then he would bring her to the palace as his mistress.
Meanwhile, with Ædan gone from the palace on his clandestine rendezvous, Ædric would keep MC company, but he wouldn't see it as an opportunity to get MC to fall in love with him. It's just him spending time with someone because he cares about them, like how he'd spend time with his family and his buddy Bertrand because they're the most important people in his life.
But oh boy, being in love with someone you can't be with is hard. Everyday he thinks that he couldn't possibly fall deeper in love with MC, and every night he just ends up with his head in his hands because damn was he wrong.
I'll try to move on tomorrow for sure. I just have to give them a polite greeting and be on my way. No more inviting them to have a break together. No more finishing work early to have dinner with them. No more checking in on them in their office. I have to get over them.
But when he sees MC the next day, his resolve instantly shatters, like it does everyday, like it has done everyday ever since he fell in love with them.
Tomorrow again, tomorrow for sure.
The day that Ædan brings Helene to the palace as his mistress is the day that Ædric nearly commits fratricide.
