A king is meant to marry his daughter at one point and she finds a way to avoid it. Both she and the king are against the marriage but have felt obliged to follow a rule.

In one adventure there is a man who only has a torso. There is no gore.

There can be a melancholy tone. The Heartless Giant’s ending is particularly sad.

Sort of - the troll is acting in the role of a father in one episode and mistreats the human girl with implied violence and psychological abuse. This has a therapeutic value though and he does have a demise. We never see any form of physical abuse and the implied violence can seem absurd.
