Interesting points. The prologue was a little confusing when you consider that it made it look like the story was set in a far away land with Beast appearing to be the ruler of said land. One reason I can think of is that perhaps Belle's village is situated at the French border with Beast's castle located across its boundaries. Like Beast rules a tiny principality within the western fringes of the Holy Roman Empire that's bordering France.
