Haha all I can think of is why did the author write it like this?? Like, give us a reason to root for ml other than “oh, he knows her favorite flowers are freesias” like boohoo, and did he do shit about her actual problems? No. It was someone else??? I’m just so confused where the author is going with this story.

RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT LIKE WHAT THE HELL!!! i guess its to show that the rest of royal family is on her side but the author could easily show the duke taking on a more active role like he’s just on the sidelines all the time. there’s nothing wrong with passively supporting her but to earn the male lead status, at least be more proactive… idk
Bro, based off the cover, how is the Duke guy the ml when the second prince literally was the one that has been supporting mc and even gave her the chance to be recognized for her work?? Like, I’m not too big a fan of Jake’s character design(it’s the hair), but even I’m like, get with him! WTF!!
