To be honest the priest lie is very well planned and I would myself believe in it. (And this is very rare for me in romance plots.)Because 1- prience never admit his feelings or clearly showed them. (Our girl is dense in that area, he knows it , but never corrected her explicitly) and also in her position assuming that the crown prience is loving her would be curicial judgemental mistake in real life. Because statutes and circumstances matters in real life.
2- in the last war she learned that the crown prince's side knowingly started the war to raise in status. Even though crown prience learned this fact very late , he never acknowledged it openly or apoligized about it etc. , totally benefiting from the unnecessary war, leading the FL to think that he is not valuing the people's life's ghat much. She could very much assume that he sees them as chess pieces.
3- she was told by the father of the other girl that crown prience keeps tabs on her because he doesn't trust her completely and crown proence would choose to believe him over the her. And in that situation , where crown prience lacks communication, and also look out for her, this kind of misunderstanding is very believable.
