This is actually very astute. I wonder if the two of them had stayed together his hear would eventually have been corrupted to the point where he didn’t care about Bae any more. That’s sort of dreadful to imagine. That core is what makes the character likable. With Cora I think he would have descended into true and irredeemable darkness, and the two of them would have eventually have grown apart and some sort of awful magical war would have ravaged the land. Yikes.
I think this is exactly what would have happened. So thank you Cora, for ripping out your own heart. *golly, I’m glad that woman is dead*
Let’s raise a glass to Cora’s uncertainty!
Actually, something that bothered me about “The Miller’s Daughter”- why does nobody bat an eyelash when Cora announces that her daughter will one day be Queen? Isn’t that exceptionally poor form? If Cora herself was 6th in line then Regina would be even further from the crown by the time she was of age (assuming the 1-5 placeholders all had children themselves). Granted all of my throne-usurping knowledge comes from Richard III, but I always thought saying those sorts of things were enough to get you accused of treason.
