The Obvious Solution
Added 2025-05-15 15:22:32 +0000 UTCEdwinβs tunnel vision/problem solving = I make an offer for Portiaβs hand, she remains helping me at court until I leave, then she can be free to do as she pleases
The reality = theyβd be married
I am a sucker for marriage of convenience, Portia and Edwin are both coniving and playing 4D chess around being together so it makes sense. Edwin wouldnβt want her to marry some gross old man and needs her help (wants her himself) Portia wants to retain her freedom and feels she can push Edwin around (wants him for herself)
