I reread it again after marinating it. Tbh, FL has a justification for not trusting the ML because the first time they met & how they got engaged was more like a soft blackmail, plus she keep getting attacked after engagement because HIS enemies, If that was me my nervous system would blow up before anything else
- Right until the failed escape, the ML doesn’t really do much to gain FL’s full trust with the already trust issues she has.
- She also got swayed with bare minimum (him saying sweet nothings, tending her swollen feet, getting injured from horse riding protecting FL.)
- Like ok it’s sweet !! but your girlie’s neck here got slashed, she keeps getting targeted ON TOP of getting soft-blackmailed to get engaged and do stuff for him & shut up about ML’s murdering the count
- tbh her flight response was so useless & anti-climatic hahaha
