✨👑👸"She looked to be in her early twenties like Elodie."👸👑✨
Princess #1 played by Sofia Shallai
Is it too much to ask for a sapphic Damsel retelling where when Elodie is thrown into the cave the first girl-princess-bride-sacrifice is still there?
Elodie and Princess #1
In the distant royal gardens, faint music began to play, distracting Elodie from her conflicted thoughts. Then, in the tower opposite Elodie's, a woman stepped from the drapes into the moonlight.
She looked to be in her early twenties like Elodie, but with waist-length platinum hair braided with blue ribbons, and pale, freckled skin. She wore a pretty blue gown, the color of a shallow lagoon, and her jeweled earrings sparkled in the night.
Who was she? A lady-in waiting? A future sister-in-law?
The woman was looking at the gathering in the royal gardens, but she appeared...sad. Her eyes were downcast and her shoulders slumped.

I decided not to modify the book quote, even though Evelyn Skye changed Princess #1's appearance, and also the time of day. There were just too many changes. I wish that Evelyn kept Princess #1's blue ribbons though.
