I am surprised with how at ease Tristan is with the perspective of Arista committing murder. Speaking of which, I wonder why Ursula didn’t mention Arista’s attempt to murder Eric to Ariel when she tried to take her voice again at Melody’s birthday party.
I guess Ursula didn’t find that detail relevant. She merely suggested they made a deal… well, just said Arista visited her but that’s pretty self explanatory why she even would be there.
We know Arista will fail to fullfill her end of the deal, and Eric will end up being an awful match for Ariel. While Ariel would still not like the idea of her husband being killed, even after all those years of toxic marriage, I don’t think she might have cared about that detail much, except for Arista loving her sister so much she accepted that deal. At the moment Ariel was bombarded with much heavier secrets her family had. Her mental state was in the gutter.
What hits hard right here is that Arista is starting to have doubts about her task. She has second thought that Eric might actually make her little sister happy… And we know how her doubts are going to backfire on everyone in the long run.

Wonder if this means Tristan has met Ondine or Berthalda if he’s likely been to their world.
I think you’re onto something here. Hopefully Berthalda and Ondine will get more plot relevance (especially with Ondine helping Belle).

I can’t wait to see how they’re involved in the disaster wedding that’s about to take place. Or maybe Tristan interacts directly with Vanessa without Arista present.

That’s actually a really interesting detail that Tristan brought up. Apparently in every world except for Atlantica that contains mermaids, they can just become human whenever they please without needing external magic or nefarious contracts from a certain sea witch to do so.
Yeah, Ariel’s world as a whole seems to have more than we initially thought going on. I wonder if this is something they’ll revisit later, or if it’s just merely for the purposes of this chapter.

I have a theory regarding the particular nature of Ariel’s world, especially when it comes to mermaids. If we look closely, and according to what Tristan says, it seems that in this world mermaids need magical intervention in order to return to land. As we go further into the chapters, we also see that mermaids possess the ability to defend themselves: the fairy who appears to Ariel a few chapters later restores this ability, allowing her to summon the trident to defend herself.
More generally, I have the impression that the worlds of most of our princesses require external magic in order to progress. For instance, we can look at Cinderella’s world with the presence of her Fairy Godmother, or Aladdin’s world with the Genie of the lamp. More importantly, if we look closely, these are worlds in which relics appear. I believe that the presence of these relics, in certain worlds, weakens—or at least limits—the protagonists’ ability to act. It is a theory that, I admit, still needs further support, but it is certainly worth discussing.
Next up Vanessa with Eric cant wait
