Throw in the fact that I don’t believe that Neal and Tamara’s relationship was genuine love for either of them, and all things considered, I dunno that the, “I was kidnapped by my step-sister who was engaged to my dad” thing would ever be a real issue. Once she’s dead, everyone will put her in the past. That may be hardest for Robin if he was her father and never knew her, but it doesn’t make it all squicky from everyone else’s point of view.
Neal and Tamara were sleeping together- Tamara didn’t love Neal because she was having it off with Greg but Neal did love her to an extent since he asked her to marry him. You don’t do that if you don’t think you loved one. Plus Tamara needed Neal to think she loved him so not sleeping with him would have been suspicious. Since Neal and Tamara are no longer together, didn’t get married and are no longer sleeping together it’s not such an issue now. But then it’s the what if Neal and Tamara had gotten married, what if Tamara had become pregnant by Neal, what if Tamara had given birth to Neal’s child. With RegalHood in the mix and Tamara is Robin Hood’s daughter, that would mean that Henry’s step-mother would also be his step-sister and given birth to his half-sibling. That’s quite squicky.
I think the Neal/Tamara relationship would be a bit squicky in hindsight if RegalHood happened just like SwanQueen had it’s squicky elements. It wouldn’t be as bad as SwanQueen but still…
I think the price of RegalHood happening is that Tamara can’t be RH’s daughter. If Tamara is RH’s daughter then RegalHood can’t happen.
All magic comes with a price!
