This was why I was genuinely rooting for the prince to be the ML at the start. He needs someone smart, strong, and emotionally mature like the FL to help him fix what his stupid parents ruined.
At the same time tho, I'm lowkey happy she didn't end up with the prince because of what happened to her. It's mixed feelings for me
Honestly I didn't want him to end up with FL obviously, because I genuinely don't want FL to go through that again
But I just wished that everyone around him stopped treating his feelings like trash and that it doesn't matter because he is just a pawn. Like that kid went through so much shit as well and the FL's friends basically never actually helped him emotionally and gave him more trauma at the end by betraying him. Like that kid could NOT catch a break
Am I the only one who genuinely feels so bad for the prince? Like to me he feels like a bigger victim than FL was. Like FL lost her life, yes I agree that is shifty, but she was only betrayed by the king. The prince on the other hand never felt the warmth of family, his own knight only ever became closer because of his revenge. The duke he admired and thought supported him, majorly did so for his own revenge plans. More so no one actually treats him like a person, he is always a prince or always a child, which is why he can never know what the others are thinking. I can't even imagine how betrayed he must feel, knowing no one was ever genuinely on his side, everyone had their own agenda. And I hate the fact that his feelings are always trampled upon, like give the man a break he is but a youngster who is experiencing love and other feelings.
