This is a story of how she comes to “love” the Prince, and how he comes to see her as more than a pet and love her in turn. In her pre-pet life, Lydia identifies as bisexual, a fact she remembers on a clinical level but it has no relevance to her character or story here, as her memories, and emotional ties to them, are magically removed from her during her abduction. That he chooses to defy family and tradition and become male brings about harsh realities of bullying, assault, and being cast out from his family (where he is in turn sold into an arranged marriage with another Queen who assaults and rapes him on the regular. They choose their gender as they mature, and as the second born of his family, the Prince is meant to become a princess. The Prince comes from a society born without gender. As a pet, Lydia is ignored, her autonomy is stripped from her in every way imaginable and through a combination of Stockholm Syndrome and magical brainwashing pheremones, she comes to love the Prince. Lydia awakes from a strange dream/illness to discover she has been abducted by some elf-like alien queen and given to another alien we come to know of only as The Prince.
