In her past life, she was a pushover, nobody like pushovers and even less Esteban.
I know he didn't like her AT ALL. Also, he did absolutely nothing when she was in danger from his wife
I think so too for both. But I think perhaps he didn't truly know that he cared so much untill she died. I think she will learn about antidotes and help the queen get better.
I think in her past life he loved her, but just didn’t know how to express it. Also mmm I think his wife and the consort(kings side piece) is poisoning the queen. Remember she wanted those tea leaves from his wife.
