[[WMG: Prince Adam isn't the heir to the throne of France; he's a younger brother.]]
Think about it for a second; how could the heir to the throne of France go missing overnight without throwing the country into disarray? The King and Queen of France would have given orders for the entire country to be searched, soldiers would have traveled to the Prince's castle and encountered the Beast, and if they hadn't killed him, they'd have at least spread the word that the Prince Adam had been killed by a monster. Yet, the inhabitants of the "small provincial town" nearby didn't seem to be aware that there was a monster in the big castle nearby...

The explanation? Prince Adam isn't the Crown Prince, and nobody noticed his mysterious disappearance because he'd been sent away from court (due to his bad temper and behaviour) to live in a castle in the countryside with a small group of servants until his manner improved. His parents were waiting for the servants to send word of a change in his behaviour before they would visit him, and when the curse struck, the servants weren't able to send word, so Prince Adam's parents just assumed he was still as bad as ever and didn't bother to check up on him.

[[WMG: The Enchantress is [[Manga/MahouSenseiNegima Evangeline]], and Belle became Chachazero after the Revolution]]
That christmas Evangeline was passing by, and felt like not passing the night in the snow and asked hospitality masked as an old woman to avoid causing a lynch mob if there was someone who recognized her, but when the prince refused hospitality she stormed the castle, cursed him into a beast for that and the servants for not teaching him the [[SacredHospitality value of hospitability]], and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking ate all the food]] (she was tired from all the transformation. She then went for her way until she felt the curse being lifted, and when Belle dared to face her after her appearance scared everyone she gave her a magical doll as reward for her courage.
Comes TheFrenchRevolution, and the villagers team up with nearby villages, storm the castle and murder everyone, Belle last after watching helpless the deaths of her husband and child (or children?) and being gang-raped. Somewhere during her murder she snapped, and upon her death she possesses the magical doll and [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge massacres everyone]], being stopped from destroying the villages and massacring their families only by Evangeline's arrival. Evangeline is spotted by mages and thought to be the killer and Belle-doll has exhausted the magic, so they decide to team up: Belle, now rechristened Chachazero, would be Evangeline's combat partner, and Evangeline would provide her with magic to stay alive, [[WickedCultured books]] and chances to [[PayEvilUntoEvil exact the blood of murderers, rapists and other violent criminals]].

[[WMG: The Beast is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_II the son of Napoleon]] ]]
Napoléon François Joseph Charles Bonaparte was a prince (technically he was styled King of Rome, but in practice he was a crown prince), and was known to have been quite bitter against his mother for abandoning Napoleon and having the children of another man while still married to him. What if he had ''not'' stayed in Reichstadt (with the duke Franz being only a lookalike) and, even before being 10, returned to France with a small following intent into restoring the Empire? He rejected the Enchantress because he was feeling particularly bitter over his inability to restore the Empire after Louis XVIII's death, and was about to reopen the gate and take her in (as he had realized what he had just done was criminal) when she blasted in and started cursing.
Upon recovering his humanity he decided that staying with Belle was better than messing up with Louise Philippe's reign (at the time still beloved, and a good king anyway), and by the time his cousing Napoleon III took over he didn't want the throne anymore.
* The Enchantress was actually Joséphine de Beauharnais' ghost: she and Napoleon's ghost had seen that he was becoming a bad person, and, after dream warnings failed to make him correct his actings, decided to give him a lesson and transformed him in a Beast. How? It's Napoleon, he had picked up a few tricks as a ghost. Why? Given what had happened with Napoleon François' mother, both Napoleon and Josephine weren't in the mood to leave anything to chance and went overboard...
