– No, Lucrezia. We… I wish to know what you truly feel about this proposition. Proposal.

– Why do you pretend that I contribute to my own fate?

Sometimes I think about the feasibility of King Percival wanting to allow Elodie to marry whomever she chooses. Particularly in Captured Prince and Captured Princess where the war is still going on? Letting her marry a human knight might boost morale, but it’ll put them in a tough position if the shedim decide to band together. 

(In regular GoT it’s less relevant, because several of his lords and ladies have married into the other groups and so he has ties that way.) 

And while I don’t think Elodie would be TOTALLY THRILLED to do it nor fully opposed, I imagine her sometimes getting frustrated that so many men contend for her and at the end of the day her opinion of whom she may marry is the least relevant influencing factor. 

In Captured Prince she’d totally confide to Astor about this. And he’d see firsthand how they treat her, well or poorly – as if she’s made of glass or trying to romance her. The contemplative, brooding vampire can only look more and more appealing by comparison.
