Does Mafuyu want to be a princess at all?

[beathollow]

Not the Queen's princess. ... But otherwise, she would not care, so long as she wasn't in the cage. I know one of you calls her that as a nickname, even.

[vogelfrei]

[ Nodding. McGillis doesn't think there is anything too wrong with wanting to be princes or princesses, but given the delicate nature of Mafuyu's mind here, it's better to make sure. ]

Alright, good. Then at the end of the story, Princess Mafuyu will be the one to return this kingdom to its former splendor and tranquility.

[cirquedesang]

...Whether she does or not, so long as the Queen exists, she will be relegated to the role of princess.

[Unfortunately.]

But once rescued, she can write the ending to her own story, no? Perhaps the prince is a dashing rogue in disguise, and they can fly off on their dragons to cause trouble happily ever after. Or perhaps a princess she will remain, ruling more happily once the curse is broken.

[ Hmm hmm... ]

You have a point. She could still abdicate.

[ Transform the kingdom into a meritocracy, Mafuyu. Come on, you know you want to. ]

[goei]

She could encourage the people ta revolt against the idea of monarchy!

[✓REVOLUTION!]

[ ... okay, this comment actually makes McGillis smile.

He's not continuing the line of conversation, but his approval is obvious. ]
