Wtf right??? Like the lady has 1. been abused her whole life and has her kids held hostage 2. asking for help in a very polite manner/asking rather than forcing 3. Respected the wishes of Kian and even offered to help meet with someone she thinks he may want to see.
Her brother who was raised spoiled 1. threatened to forcibly make Scilla his wife by taking the whole damn region of Mortia hostage 2. LITERALLY whipped his sister into shape 3. Took the lady's children hostage, but he's fine apparently?? I WOULD KILL THIS MF TOO IF I COULD

She's just acting very sus. the way she presents her ideas/requests are pretty underhand by threatening. Its understandable with her background, but if you want a partnership with someone its better to come clean instead of trying to twist their arms to get them to do what you want.
she also doesn't seem to really have the best interested towards the MC which is fine, just as readers its not someone who ppl can wholeheartedly trust. and i also think the author is making her seem like that, which is done very well
What’s with all the princess hate? She’s literally respecting his wishes and trying to accomplish her goal. Y’all don’t even hate on the fucking rapist prince that much.
