The protagonist is trying to be low key, but sucks at it. Like going around hooded when everyone else in the place is normally dressed, she kinda sticks out like a sore thumb. Another example is when she doesn’t want to be noticed and recognized by her ex, and acts all suspicious by getting worked up and starts to run, that screams SUSPICIOUS from miles away. Plus, when interacting with the prince for their first time, she talks too much, giving too many information, and by saying that [she being accompanied by the Duke is because of a debt of gratitude] is like saying [I’m available.] Then when the price invide her at an event, she’s like upset because she doesn’t want anything to do with him. The protagonist that I guess is supposed to be smart, actually shows to have a pretty low IQ. But I guess a that there won’t be a story otherwise.
About this question at the end of ch. o.1
DON'T.
YOU DON'T. Just walk away as if nothing happened. I believe that the reasonable and adult mind of a major graduated student is enough to end this story in the fist chapter. So I wanna know what's the bait for the MC to make her go through this.
