Wouldn’t that be the prince Since he agreed to marry her not for love but something that benefits them both .Also didn’t they agree to a relationship that doesn’t need love but they could mutually respect each other and be kind
You mean love as a punishment or the confidant? I meant I hope she had at least one friend, one person who made her a little less miserable and cared for her during those 10 years. The butler at least felt sympathetic, but idk if he did anything or not.
And as for love, well if they both fall for each other there shouldn't be a problem.
As a confidant but if they fall in love I wouldn’t mind it either (づ￣ ³￣)づ
This shall be the Duke's curse. To never feel such a pure selfless love again, to forever harbor love in his heart and feel it's pain. Love shall be his punishment.
And love her reward.
This is the best FL EVER. She knows suffering, and she is strong because of it. She is strong, in the real way. She doesn't need OP powers or to be confrontational to be strong. She is clever and I hope so incredibly intelligent that the Duke's lands stop functioning well without her, and the other empire prospers thanks to her. My only wish was for her to have had at least one confidant, like a servant who is loyal to her.
