Round 1, Poll 14: Tales of the Frog Princess vs Howl's Moving Castle
I own every book in both of these series and have read them multiple times; both pull on classic fantasy and fairy tale tropes, but which will win?
Remember to reblog for a bigger sample size!

King: - My dear sons, I want you to get married, before I die.
Sons: - Who do you want us to marry?
King: - Where the arrows fall, there shall your destiny be.
The arrow of the youngest son flited away, but he didn't know not where it landed. He came to a marsh, and saw a frog sitting on a leaf with the arrow in its mouth.
Frog said to he: - Prince, you are an idiot. You could have shot me.
And the prince replied: - Marry me!
Frog: - How can I marry a human?
Prince: - Marry me, for it is your destiny.
Frog: - What is your zodiac sign?
Prince: - Our kids turned out beautiful.
Frog: - Really? Their tails have already fallen off.
Prince: - Don't be in a hurry. Soon you will be sad for the times when our children were tadpoles.
The old King was happy. The two eldest sons have divorced without having children. But the youngest prince and the frog princess had nine tadpoles. One of them was a boy. King declared him the future heir. The palace was filled with children's screams and laughter. Children were everywhere. The old King was happy.
Prince: - Bunny, our son looks so much like you.
Frog: - Don't call me a rabbit. I'm a frog.
Prince: - The boy has your eyes!
Frog: - The boy has your character. It's scary because he's the future king. You spoil the heir too much.
Prince: - Look, he eats flies. You are too. It's cute.
Frog: - Dear, it's unnatural for a human.
Prince: - When the children grew up, mosquitoes have stopped biting me. No more insects in the palace.
Frog: - By the way, you and your son have the same taste in women. Where did the heir find this fish?
Water lily means sincerity and persuasiveness in the language of flowers. To pluck this plant, you have to get your feet wet. A water lily is given by a person who wants to say: "Beloved, you are my soulmate!".
The end 🖤
