"she says, unjealously"
Made me burst out laughing. Instantly added to my dictionary.
And yes, this myth is kinda painful to follow in terms of writing. It has important info that needs to be learned for lore reasons, but the whole execution and the tropes in it are...not exactly peak content. Even just the fake conflict around him speaking of MC without MC understanding that he's speaking about her. Every single misunderstanding and conflict revolves around MC being stupid. And she is.
To be completely honest, I can't even really feel the romantic development between them. Xavier yes, he's consistent with himself and this is where he starts plotting the Backtrackers so he gets busy soon. He has very present feelings for her but he's not going to waste time chit-chatting when there's a clock ticking above them. But MC doesn't look, sound, nor feel bound-by-fate in love with Xav. She likes him as a close friend, he's very mysterious, she's a bit starry eyed because he's supposed to become King and she's supposed to be his knight, but she literally has more chemistry and development with Jeremiah, who she spends 200 uninterrupted years with.
IDK. Definitely a writing team problem.
Oh! Forgot to add something to a comment you made: wouldn't you say Jeremiah's voice and Caleb's voice sound very much alike?
I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out it's the same VA.
