Yeah... I was just trying to get some sympathy for the guy too. I felt like the mc with her lack of awareness of politics kept eating up all the crap that came out of his mouth (even if it is understandable) and missing or ignoring clues that he's actually trying to protect her (she acts like she doesn't know or care about the fact that she might get executed the minute she gets her divorce...). To me she's not bad, either. She's just painfully unaware of vital stuff that could either save or end her own life... However, she DID make me gladly surprised that she's becoming smarter since she realized her childhood's friend ulterior motives for coming to see her (even if it seems she failed to consider the possibility that, the fact alone that he even was *able* to see her, means someone from the ML's side *allowed* it, which means it's a trap for her: gather evidence that she's not "behaving", enough to get her executed)
I see your points but as i said, she is a realistically portrayed character considering her position. As you said, she's a fast learner despite her learned ignorance as a noblewoman all these years. I can't really hate her for being naive in certain instances because that's natural. As for the ml, while i can excuse his plans for rebellion,i consider the rest his attitude inexcusable. The least he could do was ignore her, not torment her and while her request to "leave" him is dangerous, it was shown to us that she has the full knowledge of it, she knows that she may die but it's still her choice as an adult. She doesn't "act" like she doesn't know or care that she may get executed, she's fully aware of it and she's okay with it, as she stated in the chapters. She also very obviously suffers from ptsd and her life in the manor, surrounded by the political enemies of her late father is torture in itself. I agree with the fact that her meeting with the guy she knew is most likely a trap but the thing is, even if she found a completely safe sanctuary, ml still wouldn't let her go because he's not aware of his own feelings. His internal conflict makes him brutally abusive towards her, and frankly speaking, she doesn't deserve it.
right? this is what i'm talking about. because after all, her parents are now ded, her husband tricked & deceived her. if that wasn't enough for someone like her to have her soul broken i mean we can see her state now. it's not even her fault at all, what could have she done? in that society. & in the 1st place, she gave up studying. i can go on some more & rant ab how fl is being mistreated or even tormented here, cause of her being part of the royalty & her father's murder, & yeah for being a privilege woman. And yet, he wants her to pay for all of that, & continue to suffer with him like be for real. they're mad mad. I understand both sides but they get on my nervesಠ‿ಠ
Exactly lol
I'm sorry but she didn't choose to be born in Monarchy, she wasn't the one who specifically destroyed his life. She just literally fucking existed. Privileged or not. It's like hating someone for being born. She suffered enough. I believe she deserves to get her divorce and leave. People need to see it from her perspective as well instead of going "fuck the rich". Not to mention that she is a woman in a society that women have little to no power, so she barely had any influence. The guy is just searching for a punching bag to release all his hatred. Also all his assumptions about her being "too privileged" to go through ptsd pissed me off, even though i do understand that lack of empathy is expected after what he went through.
