As it turned out, the witch’s curse was quite specific, and the princess that kissed the frog was, in fact, a princess consort.
This created two problems for the frog. First, attendants discovered the missing prince kissing his cousin’s newly arrived wife. Secondly, the kiss did not fully break his curse.
In order to ease tensions in the palace, the frog-headed prince decided to go on a quest. He headed to new lands to find both a cure and a bride.
But his cousin was still dissatisfied, and his assassins dogged him at every step. Love truly was a battlefield.
