It was more about Merida (flashbacks) and Rumple (present). Belle was just there as a plot device to their stories. For Merida, she was there for Merida's exposition (so Merdia could tell soneone what her plans to save her brothers are and what happened to her father..). For Rumple, she served as the object he needs to save in order to become a hero.
