#and goes against philippa and dijkstra's interests

[twyllodrus]

i believe the ultimate undoing of jaskier and radovid's relationship will have to do with the current situation at the redanian court. some *book spoilers* ahead, i guess

dijkstra & philippa have already expressed how vizimir is hard to keep in line, so he's either already been regicided the night of the thanedd ball or he's soon to be. two other things to consider:

hedwig, having been beheaded earlier, will no longer be there to play queen regent;

and her and vizimir didn't have any heirs (vizimir literally said she was 'as barren as the korath [desert]' during the eulogy sdlkdjsldjf i hate it here)

so, that leaves us with an obvious: who's up next for the redanian throne? that's right, it's the resident prince-fanboy

i suppose, sigi & phil think he'll be easier to control (through fear if nothing else, after all, he saw first-hand what they're capable of), but nonetheless, imo, the main crux of the discord between jaskier and radovid will inherently lie in radovid's new position

TL;DR it's very possible jask might wake up to have fucked not just a prince, but a king now, which, y'know, slightly complicates stuff :^)
