In defence of Ingrid

Joubim February 12, 2021 3:26 pm

Apart from the very beginning where she was being pushy by trying to make Regan marry her, Ingrid did NO wrong.
Why are we all bashing her like this?
She's not a manipulative person, she tried to do her best to get out of an unwanted marriage with a king who already has a wife and children.
Usually, the chaser is a man in other romance stories and nobody bat's an eye when they get all pushy about getting married to the FL, they're more like "why isn't she saying yes already" or "jump his bones, you dumb b*****". So here, we have a FL who's actually doing that for reasons of her own and as valid as anyone else' s (just like a typical "alpha" ML would) and we're all getting angry. WHY???
Ultimately, must I remind you, it was Regan who decided to marry her. HIS EFFING DECISION!!!

Now Regan has all kinds of faults and he is trying really hard to correct them (which makes him endearing and special as a character) and admittedly, Ingrid doesn't always notice because she just can't see his POV like we can. She can't read his mind.
We know he hasn't cheated on her but she doesn't.
We know he wants children with her so he wants to stop drugs but she doesn't.
We know he has an inferiority complex towards her because he perceives her as too perfect but she doesn't.
We know he was an ass in front of people because of his jealousy but she doesn't.

They never talk to each other. BOTH OF THEM HAVE THIS FAULT.

Now Ingrid has to deal with all of this abusive behavior in the only way she knows how :"smile and ignore it all".
She doesn't know of his feelings so she thinks he despises her when he goes around humiliating her in front of family and friends but that's not the case.
At the end of the day, she always tries to mend things with him and patch up his relationship with others. She never belittle him in front of others and defends him in public always no matter what she feels or doesn't understand.

As his wife, she is going above and beyond in her duty to him.
Last chapter, she was forcefully kidnapped by a man she couldn't refuse, then accused of infidelity by her husband who proceeded to cause an international incident and STILL, SHE DEFENDED HIM IN FRONT OF THE KING, HIS OWN FATHER WHILE HIS OWN SISTER SLAPPED HIM.
LITTERALLY, she was the only one on his side.

Why the hell do you hate her? What more could you possibly ask from her?

    I agree with everything you said and for "what more could you possibly ask from Her ?", maybe communication? Since both of them don't have what they call ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

    Well yes, you're right about that. Hadn't thought of it!
    But apart from that, if I were a man, I wouldn't have any objections to marrying her.
