For that particular thing u mentioned at first. For me I totally understand because she didn't want to run away, these people are literally the only people she's close to, at least as close as she will be to people because of her trauma. Everything she does is for the ml because she believes she owes him and that she's the cause of his father's death making her build up her walls, and that grew more and more as she believed ml does not care for her or even hate her. So yes she ran, but because he told her he would rather die than marry her, so she ran not for herself but for him.

usually i live for this drama- however i don’t exactly like that she’s getting sensitive about not being included after literally running away.. like bffr. and i kinda understand his lack of awareness that it’s LOVE however as a king and given WHO he was raised by you’d think he’d have a little more understanding that speaking like your care factor is the result of how “useful” someone is to you - is incredibly insensitive and wouldn’t exactly be beneficial in a political setting either. i get that his position atm is precarious because other kings view him as inexperienced but like have SOME SELF AWARENESS towards those close to you, or those you KNOW you need.
