It's very sweet but when you give it some more thought I can't help feel like something's missing to really make me feel satisfied with this story. I think because it's a little hard for me to buy Prince Aquasteed's feelings. I know they're sincere in the context of the story but I just feel like the story doesn't really validate them. Essentially it shows him falling in love with her after observing her on her lunch time reading sessions from his perch in the library. Now of course this take place over a period of time but it's not like he can really love her with just that. To me that sounds more like a crush or an infatuation which can get the ball rolling but is not the "love you from the bottom of my heart" stuff. Up until when he helped her at the graduation, did they even have a conversation? Observing someone can reveal certain details, maybe even some traits, but it's not enough to really know them. If someone just spent their time watching me and then out of the blue confessed their love and asked me to marry them I'd be more inclined to think they're a delusional stalker than that they really loved me. I guess it just seems like a bit too much too quick for me.
Overall besides the point for this story, but it just prevents me from really getting into their romance.
