She act innocent like someone who doesn't know anything. She cried while she didn't make a single effort to avoid more problems.. she just hiding behind the prince but didn't say anything to the prince eventho she knew he love her like wtf??
Option A: try and break it off with him and risk having the other maids fired or herself endangered
Option B: tell the prince to break it off with Eris and have Eris be upset (cause everyone still thinks shes the og Eris) who would probably try and poison her for that
Option C: try and run away and be apprehended by guards
And polygamy is legal in this world so it’s technically not cheating
He doesn’t love her she is a pawn to him and the empress. And did u read her backstory? Shes doing that so she isnt disposed if by the empress or killed by the prince
Huh? Where did you see that she was scared of being killed by the prince?
Other option: tell the prince the difficult situation she's in (also Eris) and if he really loves her stop bring harm to people around her.. persuade him no matter what idc like you would kys if the prince keep trying to put her into royal dispute or whatever. She's annoying cus she didn't do anything!! She just act stupid like her mother or whoever that told to!! She didn't make an effort to change her life!!
But the prince doesn't really love her. She. Is. a. pawn. She is replaceable and will probably be replaced if she ever does something that could damage the position if the empress.
What?? Are you sure?? Well that change the story then.. well she still useful for the prince then? She can use that to threat the prince!! Idc, my point is still the same she's annoying cus she didn't make any effort
If she slapped a prince she could literally be hanged for treason. He could have her jailed for slander or treason if she refuses his advances stringly enough. He is a prince there is a reason she does everything he says no question cause HE HAS THAT FUCKING POWER
Shes a maid she only useful cause shes so obedient. She can be replaced
Really tho? Are you sure? Shes also the crown prince childhood friend. And on the other note if I were her I will make some excuses like sick or hurt myself or whatever so I don't get in Eris way. Like the old Eris said use whatever reason to avoid the prince. And the banquet is important event there's no way she don't know that even tho she's a maid.. I would do anything to not ruin that important event for other person.. and she crying?? Like whos more hurt?? If that the old Eris she would so brokenhearted knew that in her coming of age her fiance come with someone else and that partner wore the same dress with her.. Helena is so fake. Periodt.
But she wasn't hurt anywhere nor could she feign illness because she was ok. She probably would've been taken to a doctor and then to the banquet anyway.
That's why I said she didn't make any effort. Lol. What a useless argument. I could freeze myself and caught cold or fever or hurt myself. I would do anything cus I know it was a precious event to someone else.
So basically youre asking her to sacrifice/harm herself for the sake if a person who bullied the shit out if her and never respected her
It doesn’t matter if he does have that power… my point is it’s not something she’s actually afraid of where he’s concerned. Or did the whole childhood friend who adores her aspect of it, escape you? The originals villainess told her that she could decline to sit with them, but she never did simply because she was asked to. Telling him she can’t because of etiquette wouldn’t get her killed. The fact remains she allowed herself to be persuaded to do this over and over.
First if all did the reason that she dies this behavior escape you? Second she did decline the offer to be with him. She was then told by the head maid never to do it again cause she woukd be making a problem for ither people
“I would”, “if it were me” well it wasn’t you. Helena was groomed by her mother to be a people pleaser, to put her head down and take whatever comes her way. The crown prince drags her off to wear a dress and go to a party, she’s not even used to saying no to say no to that. God yall are dumb
Helena is so fake.. ugh I already read the Ch about her pov but whatever she didn't make more effort to solve the misunderstanding. She knew the crown prince fond of her so why can't she take advantage of that and refuse to be the third wheel for the political marriage. She's a commoner but even that the crown prince still take her, right. At least persuade him to do something right not to be a cheating bastard
