No it's moreso that I know damn well the rumors will become a problem later with her credibility and respect in professional and social settings. She's also going get whiney and complain about the rumors later getting all sad and gloomy about it resulting in all the male characters defending her in the end and just make a big deal out of a problem she caused herself that she can't even fix herself. She's being trash and the story is not calling her out on it and punishing her for it meanwhile he's being trash and everyone is punishing him letting everyone know he's a piece of shit.
You think holding the emperor's hand in front of everybody won't lead to rumors of you being a sugar baby who only got her job because she fucked her boss. Dumbass
Draw a fucking line Layla for fucks sake this is why everyone is going to be justified in thinking you're a cheap slut whose only power comes from sucking the emperor's dick and the only reason she's an aide is because she's fucking both the emperor and his aide. You haven't done anything to make everyone else think otherwise and you can't prove you're smart without looking like an entitled jackass so what are you gonna do look like a slut or a jackass. Not to mention you can see they gonna do a fake love triangle between the knight and the emperor where obviously the emperor's gonna win.
I'm not getting mad at the fiancé anymore because the story is making sure this piece of shit is framed as a piece of shit but Layla being framed as justified and reasonable when acting like a dumb bitchy slut is much more annoying.
I hate when fantasy manhwa do that bullshit of "we don't need etiquette because we're besties/ lovers" son of a bitch you're in public and whats the point of medieval setting if you can't even commit to the etiquette and manners.
