I wouldn't say the Belle is that smart whatsoever.

Rumple is smart, clever, and manipulative, so him duping Belle isn't unbelievable.

I'd say that Zelena, Cora, Malcolm, Cruella, and maybe someone else is smarter than Belle.

I think many take Disney Belle and think, "Of course she's smart" but reading books make you knowledgable, but not much else if it isn't put into practice.

Back on Topic, though!!!!!
