You'd rather marry a stranger than stand up to your father?
[ it's easy for her to say, when she was raised to believe that her duty to her kingdom wasn't so great that she should be forced to go without love. Thor's father is more set in antiquated beliefs, yet Emma's never needed her father's blessing to help someone when they were in need. he may say he would have offered his assistance, but she's already agreed to Odin's terms.]
It doesn't matter, I've already sent the blue fairy back to Misthaven with news of our engagement. It won't be long until Regina hears the rumors; that I sought refuge in Asgard and fell in love with their - well, you.
[ their prince, but it doesn't matter who it is. if she's going to marry him, she'll use it to defeat the Evil Queen with any and every opportunity that might arise. and if he doubts the value of that rumor, which he seems to, if the clueless look he sends Emma's way is any indication, then she'll just have to explain herself:]
In the Enchanted Forest, true love is the most powerful magic there is. It can break any curse. My parents had it, and I'm the product of it. If Regina believes we love each other, she'll start to get desperate, and then she'll get sloppy.
[ and while she's distracted, Emma can find what she needs to defeat her.]
The good news is, you don't actually have to love me for this to work.
