Lmao, now I want to read the sequel, where the prince and the heroine meet the wild and wanton Queen of Solier, who turns out to be drop dead gorgeous and is perfectly charming and sweet to both of them, and they end up happier than ever in a big polyamorous cuddle puddle;
and the sequel to that, where the scheming vizier of Solier is banished to the far reaches of the kingdom, sold into the clutches of a infamously lecherous general, who ends up being a real sweetheart and romantic under his gruff exterior, and they build a happy home together in the countryside;
and the sequel to that, where the jealous harpy of a lieutenant is captured by the nearby enemy empire's foppish and delicate young duke, who immediately falls for her cool, austere beauty, and she goes from military hostage to respected duchess;
and on, and on, in an endless chain of punishments-turned-blessings, until the planet literally runs out of misunderstood villains.
