I think that level of paranoia is normal like if you saw people being killed in form of you and then it was your turn and the assassin tell you it s your husband ok a piece of her refused to believe that she went to her fiancé castle and what she heard ????? That he was breaking off the engagement anyone will believe that s why he is trying to kill her and any normal person won’t take the risk of being killed knowing the danger is reel ( since she saw other people getting killed ) she did her best. Once you loose trust you can’t easily rebuild it must be hard on her, being kind may also be a way to manipulate to make people put down their guards. BUTTTT It true that the Duke is the ultimate victim here I could never live his life I would’ve snapped a long time ago

Finished this piece of crap story finally. This spineless coward of a woman truly had nothing bad happen to her. She got handed her life on a silver platter...and yet ruined it all by her own hands. She needs to be put in an institution. That level of paranoia isn't normal, is it?
The poor duke... he gets harassed by crazy women all his life and he fell for that nitwit. Him and his kid deserve a medal for dealing with this crap.
