@Sarsak Same. I realized how complex everything was when they first mentioned that Psyche’s family was affiliated with the church.
After reading the description for this story I was hoping it had promise and I’m hoping it will continue to be this good or better moving forward.
So now I’m wondering if Medea purposely made a show of things to make it seem like she was out to get Psyche. The metaphor used in this chapter about Psyche symbolizing a pawn chess piece made me wonder. I’ve begun to wonder about Medea’s earlier interactions with the prince and if she noticed anything off from the beginning with him. If she actually had an inkling that something was off about him to begin with then having Psyche replace her and switching bodies so she could continue to be unsuspected makes a whole lot of sense to me. This could of been Medea’s plan when her engagement was called off, but it would be truly more interesting if she manipulated things to make the competition happen. If any of this has the potential of being true then the one thing she didn’t foresee was that the prince doesn’t actually love or has any real interest in Psyche. It seems that this has been the most surprising outcome since switching bodies next to holding Psyche in against her will.
I really can’t wait until the Prince’s back story is shown.
