Its difficult to hit every term of the contract

Virmir agreed to a contract to “replace royal life”, not be a “pretty princess”. If the terms are too ambiguous or vague, and are disputable, then those are fair grounds to void a contract that’s unfair to any of the parties.

The problem is than fairness is not a word in fairytale folklore
You made a deal and you realise it end up bitting you ? Too bad, you agreed to that.

Heck even the devil is not spared from theses kind of shenanigan if you manage to bullshit your way through scamming him.

They'll hold themselves to the letter of any agreement they make, but yes, they in no way feel they need to make the agreement fair.

But the point here is that Virmir isn’t obligated to do something that was NOT included in the contract. If the fae don’t like it, they *could* just do away with Virmir, but that would defeat the whole purpose of creating the contract to begin with.

If the fae just wanted Virmir gone, then they would have “treed” him before he could sign the contract. Right now, Virmir is probably transforming *because* of the “life” he’s supposed to replace, in the contract.

If something goes wrong in this process, like a miscarriage, Virmir won’t be able to fulfill his end of the contract. The fact that the fae are going through this “story” implies that they can’t be all omnipotent, if they can’t “completely” control Virmir into following the plot, or speed up the process instantaneously.

If they could, they’d probably do so already, to avoid needless complications.

Good or bad for Virmir?

Based on past results, probably good in the long run. He tends to win out eventually.

oh dear, I wonder if this rule bending is gonna turn her into another fey.

I think that's the plan.

Well, seems like her plan is backfiring a little bit.

Interesting quandary. If Virmir resists the narrative, she is forced to go along. If she submits to it, she is absorbed into the story. The only way out is to control the narrative. Be the one in charge. And who better to do that than the queen?

Pretty sure that's the exact logic he's using. Either he gets out by fulfilling the letter of the contract, or they let him out of it because it's more trouble than it's worth to them to keep holding him to it.

Or option C : find a loophole to either shatter the deal or technically fullfill it without letting the fae having it their way with him.

you gotta get out of the contract some how bud ^^ then you can get your own life back

Fey ability gained! An advantage but also may bite Virmir in the keister later.

Replace life forever? How many babies did they want you to have? Were you going to spawn whole hives of Fae?

I guess stealing the queen role makes sense cause it sounds like they made you their ant queen if you hadn't stopped it

Furry horror

I wonder if we will get a fae virmir

I think that's the goal
