I'm liking where we're at, but the time skip was too long. I suppose the Prince's latent talent, combined with her teaching, was enough to make him crown prince - though it would hace been nice to see that happen.
Their relationship isn't healthy but I'm alright with that. They both depend on eachother too much, they need friends. Speaking of unhealthy relationships, it's great to see her break things off with her family. This may be the most satisfying end to a terrible family, she wasn't angry with them, just so completely done with them that she honestly doesn't care what they do.
