Girl was literally forced to marry ml by the emperor instead. They were already falling in love there was no need to rush things and they could’ve been married naturally yet dumb emperor had to be greedy so to me he’s the bad guy here. Plus ml was not communicating his feelings properly and didn’t know how to put boundaries between him and his brother causing more misunderstandings with our fl. Fl only needed reassurance yet couldn’t receive it cuz emperor is a cuckold and keeps blocking the fl and ml to communicate. Ugh can’t stand the emperor so much
exactly, a lot of people lack reading comprehension. juliet already liked the duke, but because the emperor rushed everything (literally threatening) and there was a possibility of war if she didn’t accept, she resented the duke because he never came to meet her (bc of the emperor) and hide his identity from her. obviously it doesn’t matter how affectionate the duke was, juliet was threatened with her nation’s safety to become a bride. of course she would be unhappy. i don’t understand why everyone is hating on her









It’s about dam time frl ugh now if only the exes can stay out of the picture
