and the crown prince being ml is just... sigh all of them are good but if i would make a list of suitable mls, he would be at the bottom. Dunno but he has the weakest impact when it comes to making me giggle and shi. I thought if anything it would be the pope or the king (the knight isn't that bad either but i get a sense of second ml vibes from him. the kind of character that is a good choice but will never get chosen iykwim)

My thoughts exactly! Like Everytime he appears Im meh show us the other guys. To me all his personality is that he's the crown prince other than that idk what there even is to him. NGL we've just barely got to know his lil bro and he's already much more interesting to have around than him in my opinion.
WHAT?! THERE'S AN ML?! I WAS THINKING SHE WOULDN'T HAVE ANY ML SINCE SHE SAID SHE WOULDN'T GET MARRIED AND LIKE ALL OF THE LOVE INTEREST ARE ALL GOOD AND HAS STRONG BACKGROUND AND CONNECTION TO HER LIKE LITERALLY ALL OF THEM COULD BE THE ML BUT IT WOULD BE GOOD NOT TO HAVE ONE AND INSTEAD JUST FOCUS ON HER ACHIEVING HER GOAL OF PROTECTING EVERYONE AND RAISING HER HONOR AND ALL THAT. I WOULDN'T MIND A STRONG, SINGLE FEMALE LEAD WHO IS AT THE TOP OF THE EMPIRE NOT BECAUSE OF A MAN BUT BECAUSE OF HER STRENGTH AND ACHIEVEMENTS.
