How can you be so certain? You’re viewing things from a third-person perspective—try to see it from her point of view. While we, as readers, might interpret it differently, she, having read the original novel, sees the emperor as unpredictable. He only behaves kindly when it amuses him and kills when he’s bored.
If you had read the same novel as she did, how could you be so confident and naive to trust an emperor like that?

Did I say trust anywhere? She is scared of him but fell for him?? Isn't this the most contradicting dumb nonsense a fl can have? I meant being a manipulator. Girl had all potentials and even after betraying him she could try to play her way out instead she gotta shiver and cry like... She read the whole novel but acts so dumb meanwhile her maids especially the white hair girl the girlboss she didn't even sit a full hour with him and she easily escaped death and even provoked him knowing he can't do anything and he's corrupted! I feel bad for raniero bcs he's not being loved and pulled out of that hole nor getting the quick end he needs
When fl doesn't use her head. I actually hate this fl a lot, raniero fell easily and she could manipulate him but instead chose to be dumb I can't stand thissss
