She doesn't have to fight kylo's battles for him, he can stand up for himself he's a strong independent man , she is avoiding Raymond to the point of confining herself on his duty days, she was tricked to come there and he's the next Duke that will supports her brother when's he's on the throne since she can't just be rude to him is why she stayed for the play when she practically ignored him the through whole thing and kept chatting with kylo....
A second reason would be a spoiler so .spoiler warning

She is not actively trying to become a couple with kylo is because she plans to sacrifice herself instead of kylo to close the demon gate, and that is why her plan is to elevate his social status instead of marrying him
sure the crown prince and raymond are a bunch of trash for forcing their ideals onto mc but honestly, if im being truly truly honest, mc is starting to get in my nerves too. i get it, you’re fangirling, apparently fangirling too hard to the point that you can’t even hear raymond insulting your idol. the fact that you’re just accepting raymond forcing his delusions onto you is such an insult on your reputation as a royal family. you’re the princess for god’s sake not him, you have the power to at least draw the line. you can refuse him. yes, he is ordered to be your knight but letting a knight get his way? this is like that one girl saying she doesn’t like it and complains when men hit on her but then replies to their dms and eat out with them like make it make sense pls
