just listen to Cora’s speech over Eva’s dead body and it screams that they’re sisters.

I’m like 90% sure that Eva and Cora have the same father. The King. The King had an affair with the Miller’s wife. Hell, maybe that’s who he had really loved but he had to marry the Queen instead (as the royalty was from Eva’s mother, not her father). And Cora was born first. She, in her mind, should have been the princess and should have been raised become Queen. But instead, she was raised as the Miller’s daughter. And then her younger sister, Eva, is everything that Cora should have had.
That life was supposed to be Cora’s. She should have been Queen and her daughter should have been a princess. But, it’s too late for Cora to be Queen. But, it’s not too late for her daughter..
Cora wanted to destroy Eva and her entire line not because of some whatever vendetta when they were young. But, because Eva and her line are the rightful heirs to the throne. And Cora hated Eva more than anything.
Sibling rivalry.
Hell, it could even be that Cora knows of their relationship but Eva never did. It could be that Eva never knew she had a sister. But Cora’s mother would tell her about who her real father was, The King.
Okay, assuming I’ve understood your theory correctly, Cora and Eva shared the same father, the king. That would mean Cora’s father’s isn’t really a miller after all; the miller is just some drunk married to her peasant mother who had an affair with the king. That sounds plausible, since kings often had illegitimate children.
My issue with the theory though is that if Princess Eva is the sister of Prince Henry, that would mean Prince Henry is also Cora’s half-brother by sharing the same father, King Xavier. Yet, I believe Cora’s love interest is supposed to be Prince Henry, so that would be incestuous, even if she didn’t know he was her half-brother. Yikes! I don’t think Disney would let Adam and Eddy go that far on a family show. 😕
