Unfortunately, parts of Selle's character make him unappealing to Jade, just as parts of Touga make him unappealing to Utena - he's far too charming for either of them to really find the guy genuine.
Yes, exactly. Oh, wait -- you were Lady Jade in the first round, right? Then I'm glad to find Jade's two incarnations in agreement. *grin*
The second time through, the Prince struck me as far too arrogant, so I wasn't going to choose him. Then he got beaten in three or four duels in a row and got humble, so he became a possibility again. I was going around asking all the Lords who they wanted to be chosen by, because Jade couldn't stand the thought of putting someone else in a cage, either. The Prince answered twice that he would prefer to be chosen by me. The first time I didn't take him seriously, but the second time I did.
After I fought a duel and asked Lord Selle what he thought, he said he found it "exciting" -- which I took as meaning that he thought it was "cute," like Jade's unwisely chosen first husband. Right now, I can't think of a way for him to have won over Jade, though of course that doesn't prove anything. I think it would be difficult, though not impossible.
