Dan Fox wrote: Even if Cora managed to succeed in her plan, and married Leopold, there is still the possibility that hers and Jonathan's baby could come early before she and Leopold could consummate their marriage, leading to him getting confused and angry and possibly executing her for having a baby with another man. Though he can't divorce her in EF he still had the power to have her executed. He had the power to lock Regina up in 1.11, so he would have the same rights to execute Cora, if he found out the baby wasn't his. I doubt he'd go around really killing executing her, tho. He could (I assume) divorce her/annul and kick her out. XD

Besides, Regina wasn't as bad off as she made it out to be to the Genie. Things were expected of her as the Queen, of course, and when Leopold found out she was "unfaithful", in his anger, of course he confined her to the palace, but it's not like she was chained up in a dungeon, as much as she might want someone else to think that.
