Oh gosh. (Also, preface: this is written in present tense just because my brain refuses to go past tense because it is silly)
Cora has a very silly crush on Edmund, like Cora has a very silly crush on most nice intelligent young men by dint of the fact that she knows very few and, well, she's silly.
Just to get that out of the way.
But beyond that, Edmund is someone who Cora can assume understands what she is talking about which is pretty rare in Milliways, and she can trust him not to be mean. And he is a teahcer, and he likes math, and he draws and in general he is very interesting and not-scary/intimidating because she always forgets he's a king.
I wish we'd been able to explore more their interaction re: king!Edmund, because honestly I am not so sure what Cora would make of that.
