It's the fact that he does nothing except knowing she likes roasted chicken and cloudy skies. At least the 2nd prince actively tried to help her. Sure she can have a choice, but her first choice was already stupid af (deciding to follow the crown prince) so why should she pick something shallow again? The problem really is just that her options are shallow but the 2nd prince is the least shallow one. The only reason she'll pick the chicken guy is because he has black hair. This is black haired ML era. Nothing more nothing less. It's an epidemic.
Can't forget the flowers lol
It's still so shallow
Ikrr Jake actively helped her to get out of that toxic environment while the other one is more like it feels more like he is the same as the other servants who loved and helped her like it doesn't feel special
Yeah I think they're trying to make him feel special by saying that he remembers what she likes from that one conversation in passing. But that's really not impressive at all lol. Having someone remember what you like is the bare minumum. If that's your ideal type then you gotta raise your standards
Y’all are getting so upset that based on the cover, she ends up with Ryan as a duchess instead of with Jake. But like doesn’t she deserve to actually have a choice this time, she decided to live the life she wants after all. Also as a duchess, and with Jake presumably as crown prince, she’d still have a high enough status/reputation to advise and assist the kingdom.
