It literally will kill her and him if the king finds out. She knows better safe than sorry. And honestly it’s refreshing to see a FL not immediately fall and trust the ML just because he’s nice. It makes sense in the story for her to keep secrets and think it through. She’s smart and knows she’s still not educated enough in politics or socially to know what could happen if she reveals too much.

No more to say... When will she finally open up to him? Getting tired
