And the penny prince

Dear @Daraah Youngblood, I was looking for that particular episode as and think I found it on KZbin😊✌🏻. kzbin.info/www/bejne/houTm5KHbNF0rck

@CalebDekkerCharming? Was all the passive aggressive and rude things he said to her supposed to be charming? The only “good” thing he did was keep his word. He’s an ass.

@CalebDekker​​⁠ ”You don’t stare at princes. It’s not polite at one so low. Or one so ugly” “You don’t disgust me because I don’t think of you.” And he kicks her, throws things at her and tells her to “keep below stairs”. And during their last conversation straight up orders her not to tell anyone that he even spoke to her. If a friend told you a guy she had a crush on told her she was lowely and ugly and said he doesn’t even think about her, and straight up looks disgusted when she hands him something because he thinks she’s dirty I HOPE to god you don’t tell her “he’s just teasing you because he can’t explain why he wants to spend time with you” 😂😂 Please be serious. I’m not misinterpreting anything. He’s a jerk. Also they keep running into each other not by his own accord. In all their meetings she either approches him or he finds her when looking for someone else. He very much WANTS to stay away from her. The fact that she isn’t fit to marry a prince isn’t the problem. The problem is that HE believes that and fully voices it in a very rude manner.

@CalebDekker Had she not ended up being the girl he was dancing with at the ball he would NOT have been happy to marry her. He might have gone with it anyway, but that was out of obligation for her foot fitting in the shoe. It’s already established that royals in this world have to keep their word when they make a decree (hence her father having to marry her even though they both obviously didn’t want to).

​@@Blackblood254And where would he learn such behaviours? From his mother and father, perfectly possible...but more likely from the higher staff members who treat lower staff like dirt (I speak from experience). Higher staff are often very protective of their status, developing a haughty attitude towards others. The prince still spoke to Sapsorrow when she was dressed as Straggletag, nonetheless - unthinkable then, and still unthinkable in a few of today's royal houses. When she runs away after each ball, she breaks him just that little bit more. Sorrow can do much to redefine a personality. Have you never seen a person's character completely change after illness, grief over a death, divorce or loss of fortune? I've seen it numerous times, as people begin to look into themselves and finally see the folly in their attitudes, especially that of pride.

@@Debbie-henri But he never repents for his attitude. He’s just an asshole, is a little less of an asshole because he doesn’t fight having to marry her and then they get married. That’s it. There is no “wow I was actually kind of a douche. I’m sorry for that and I won’t act like that again”. Who’s to say that he won’t continue treating others that way? The story even demonizes the sisters because they have a very nasty attitude. He also has a nasty attitude but for some reason we’re not supposed to view him in the same light as the sisters? That’s bull. It’s one thing if he came to his senses and realizes just how bad he was acting. He never does. And that’s the end of it.

On a side note, that Giant sure got a raw deal. Carrying men off to their felicity, but never having it himself, just serving as a human taxi service in the desert. Bet he was one of those Djinni who got cocky and got captured and enslaved to some Sisyphus Labour...poor schmuck.
