History Heartwarming / EverAfter

* Danielle's friendship with [[ChildhoodFriends Gustave]]. They are still close friends after they have grown up and hopefully having Gustave as a friend made Danielle's pain of losing her father and the burden being made a servant in her own home a little more bearable.

-->'''Danielle''': A bird may love a fish, signore, but where will they live?
-->'''Da Vinci''': Then I shall have to make you wings.

* When Danielle's father left (with signs of an onset heart-attack), Danielle insisted to Rodmilla and her daughters that they must wave good-bye to her father as part of a tradition. Whereas the Baroness ignores her, Danielle goes ahead with waving good-bye to him. What difference does that make for Danielle's father and his heart-attack? None at all, save for one: if she hadn't witnessed him fall off his horse, no one would've known and he would've lain there without anyone to comfort him. So it was thanks to Danielle waving good-bye that he didn't die alone.

* Jacqueline cleaning the cuts on Danielle's back after the latter was whipped, while agreeing that Marguerite deserved the beating she got.

* A huge one is when Maurice is reunited with the other servants, [[BigDamnReunion his wife chief among them]]. It's extremely difficult to watch that scene without crying tears of joy.

** The fact that Princess Gabriella would rather have the Spanish Courtier than Prince Henry, despite the former being leagues from looking as charming as the latter. Their joyful reunion and generous kisses speaks volumes of how happy they are together.
* The prince came to rescue Danielle, after he had horribly rejected and humilated her at the ball. To his surprise, she had already rescued herself. He then apologized to her, admitting that he was wrong and he betrayed her trust. But it turns out that she had already forgiven him for it.

* Near the end, when Jacqueline recounts running into Prince Henry to Rodmilla and Marguerite, she tells them that he said to her, "Serves me right for choosing a foreigner over your...sister." They of course become excited, thinking he was referring to Marguerite, while Jacqueline simply smiles to herself. The little pause in her line implies that [[LastSecondWordSwap Jacqueline was calling Danielle her sister in her own words.]]

** Additionally, there's Da Vinci letting Danielle know that her "lowly" berth as a merchant's daughter [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre doesn't change that she's a worthwhile person]], just as he became Europe's most famous artist despite his background as a peasant.

* Da Vinci encouraging Danielle to go to the ball and tell Henry the truth wins Heartwarming points:

-->'''Da Vinci''': Then I shall have to make you wings.
* The gypsies Danielle and Prince Henry run into prove to be good people (despite trying to rob the pair). Henry even invites them to the Royal Ball.

* While it doubles as a [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Funny Moment]] because of its [[ChewingTheScenery over-the-top nature]], the wedding scene between Henry and the Spanish Princess Gabriella. The poor girl is sobbing uncontrollably, begging her parents to let her marry her lover (a Spanish courtier). Henry is kneeling at the altar seriously, and then, all of a sudden, bursts out laughing at the absurdity of it all, and despite the language barrier, he calls off the wedding and lets her go to her beloved.
** On top of that, he tells her, "I know ''exactly'' how you feel," before giving her a friendly kiss on the cheek.
** The fact that Princess Gabriella would rather have the Spanish Courtier than Prince Henry, despite the former being leagues from looking as charming as the latter. Their joyful reunion and generous kisses speaks volumes of how happy they are together.

* Henry can't help but be impressed that a random girl mistakes him for a horse thief and tosses apples at him to protect her father's horse. When she apologizes after recognizing the prince and expects to be punished for striking royalty, he tells her just don't mention he was there and pays her bribe money. Danielle goes from OhCrap to happiness, and it's the moment Henry falls for her.

* It takes a while to notice, but [[spoiler: after Marguerite burns Danielle's book, Danielle meets Prince Henry again, who tells her she left her copy of "Utopia" in the carriage by accident yesterday. The book Marguerite burned was actually from the Prince's library. In a sense, Prince Henry has saved [[TragicKeepsake a piece of her father]] for Danielle.]]
