King Leopold/Henry

Hmm,good point,myril!!!

It seems to be like it’s a completely new place to us and that therefore the kingdoms are completely separate (they mentioned that Eva was a visitor from the northern kingdom I think?)

What would be interesting is if Cora somehow loses out on the succession: somebody overtakes Xavier’s kingdom, somebody finds something out about her and they’re tossed out, etc etc. Then she sees that the bratty girl from the northern kingdom has married Leopold and is happy and has everything she could possibly want as queen while Cora and Henry are just cast aside.

Cora can spin straw into gold so it can’t be a monetary thing but she desperately wants Regina to be queen someday (which is why she named her Regina – latin for Queen) and somehow that wasn’t happening where it should have (in Xavier’s kingdom) so for some (hopefully good) reason she plots to have Regina take over Eva’s spot instead. There better be more to it than the girl tripped her.

Perhaps Leopold and Eva visit occasionally and there’s more bad blood between them all and Leopold / Eva (is there a name for this?) are clearly happy and everything is going their way and Cora becomes more and more bitter (she doesn’t have her heart at this point, never loved Henry, Xavier is controlling things, etc etc).

Something has to push her over the line to shift from the succession she believed Regina was promised and going to take over Eva’s spot. Distant relations for succession would be interesting but I really think they’re in 2 different kingdoms which just adds lots of questions. You’d think it would have been easier to just bump off the people in front of Regina in line for the throne rather than take off for a different kingdom just to get revenge so it’s gotta be good, right?

This may have already been said, but I did include an amendment to the theory at the end of the podcast episode.
