Basically (at the moment) fuck both of them
yes i fully agree, but for the sake of plot devices lol we need to piss off the viewers to get the drama
Haha never thought about that
If I were Estelle I would low-key be pissed... at Emel. The princess, ya she's a bitch and she'll just continue to use/step on/take everything from Estelle because of the contract and I would just bide my time until I can destroy said contract and FINALLY get back at the bitch. Patience will make that victory all the sweeter.
However with Emel, I'd be super pissed in that moment. She now knows that he left her in that manner to go claim a family position he had insinuated he was never interested in (and partially he considered himself not close with his family at all). He had promised to stay by her side, then they slowly fell in love with each other (as she got older), and then he just leaves her, without telling her what for, to then reappear before her again and with the princess "introducing" him no less.
I'd be pissed. But as a classy young lady I wouldn't show it. Just smile and ignore him just so I wouldn't give that satisfaction to the princess. AND Estelle also has to low-key worry about Emel now since he knows what she is (an elementalist) and there's the potential he could tell the royal family for power/wealth what have you. (I don't think he will but she doesn't know that.)
Sorry for the long post. That's just my thoughts from someone who hasn't read the novel/doesn't know any spoilers.
