slipping

like most people have said - this story is kind of going in circles now. their romance hasn’t had much development & they just keep adding unnecessary drama. like why add another new girl that could potentially like the prince??? i’m hoping it’s something else but why wouldn’t he at least explain it to eli?? she’s just left in the dark worrying by herself. they’re cute, but this story focuses more on political issues rather than their romance

also the princes uncle is SO MUCH HOTTER THAN HE IS lol i sweaarrr i wish he was the ML!! when he was carrying eli i was blushing omg he’s too attractive!

ok so i went digging for spoilers and here is some that i found

- FL will not find out about her real father until close to the end of the novel. They never even consider that they could be related because she believes she’s a commoner and he believes his daughter has blonde hair. apparently it’s FL’s aid (the one with pink hair) who suspects they could be related

- 2nd ML (aka the prince) is actually kind of a gag character?? he is not very intelligent and multiple characters complain of getting a headache from interacting with him. turns out, he’s been poisoned since he was a kid by this rival faction. the long term poison didn’t kill him, but did result in mental development issues. but they do remark that the empire will be fine with him as the emperor (?)

- the big bad villain is actually the 2nd ML’s brother. he’s in charge of the royal medical team. his mother is a commoner so even though he is older than the 2nd ML, he did not become the crown prince.

- when FL goes to resign that is when ML confesses to her, looks like that will probably take a while too LOL

- FL and ML have two kids together, a boy and a girl
