About the ending of The Troubadours of Roc-a-Pic...

I know Maximin's dad wanted to give him a reward for resisting his anger and Guillemette a reward for saving his ass, but after reading this one again for the first time since high school, I initially refused to believe that they just got married right then and there. They hardly interacted afaik. Idk it just seems kinda rushed at the time.

But eh, arranged marriages weren't unheard of in the middle ages anyway. Even if neither of them like each other in that way, at least they'll have heirs. I'm betting they were both like "Aw nice, I get to live with my best friend!"

Can't really see the marriage being very romantically fulfilling for them tho unless one or both of them are somewhere on the ace spectrum. But I guess after thinking about it, I can kinda see how it would be likely to happen considering the time period. Duke gets his heir back, and now there will be ANOTHER future heir to the dukedom. Guess it's a win win as far as inheritance is concerned ig. :/

#johan et pirlouit #johan and peewit #spoilers #ig #it's a french comic from the 90s man #bande dessinée #for the record i headcanon maximin as gay and guillemette as a lesbian #and sadly homophobia was quite common in the medieval era #so i guess i shouldn't be too surprised the dad would marry his son off to some rando he's an acquaintance with lol #i'm thinking in a modern au they might've dated once early in college when they were still in the closet #then they found out they weren't into each other in that way but guillemette didn't know why #some years later guillemette came out as a lesbian #and that gave maximin the courage to come out as gay #maximin knew he liked men since at least freshman year in high school and guillemette is a late bloomer sapphic who was stuck in comphet #and to be fair my reading comprehension in french is still not that great #but better than it was back in high school at least #so i may get SOME details a tad wrong?
