The prince is super annoying in the first couple chapters, I grant you that. But he grows and learns, and is one of the only characters in this manga to do so. It does come out that the OGFL has been cursed and unwillingly emitted charm magic to everyone around the palace, and once this comes out our ML apologizes and becomes a good friend for our FL. The romantic tones are undertones, and ML has stated several times in later chapters that he refuses to let people disturb our FL's peaceful life. He even takes some actions that shake his own position to do so. Its a mild form of Enemies to Lovers. As of the story concluding what appears to be its first and most major arc, there is no forced romance between the two and they both acknowledge each other as good friends. Overall its a solid 3 star manga. Nothing ground breaking but the story was interesting enough, there is some (albeit mild) character development for the surrounding characters (FL is pretty what you see is what you get) and the pacing doesn't drag on too long for what the story offers. Written as of chapters 26.
