Aside from love, I think also that she has no money to pay her dowry and she is dirt poor cause no one is backing her up...
That is why she hold it up for ten years
I think it is just a miracle that she found a way out of her sad engagement by stumbling upon her fiancee files where the prince needs a bride... And that contributed for her to be out of the relationship way quicker than imagined..
If someone neglected me for 10 years I would have done the same, and frankly idk how she held out that long, it's probably the power of love
