This is so true because they are literally showing to the noble that they are indeed blind by love to become complete idiots. Where as we can see, our Hestia is also a commoner but no one is actually opposing her that much... I know that it is all a plot to make Hestia (MC) looks good but damn... they are hopelessly stupid...
I think it’s quite understandable because the original story that Hestia read about Helios and Diana is basically a fairytale. A basic fairytale at that. Nothing was taken into consideration except their burning love for each other. Which lead to the outfall when the fairytale comes to the end and they have to face reality.
Yes, and add to that the king spoiling Diana. He wasn't giving good advice to Heli and Diana. But i get it, their marriage problems is their thing.
Ya. Diana is still def stuck in denial over her little perfect world not being perfect anymore. But it's not like Helios is oblivious to politics and his surroundings. He knew what has been going on with Diana all this time and decided to ignore it. He's like the dad of a raging toddler, but with 0 parenting skills.
They did try to train her tho? She literally chased them all away when they gave her advice or didn’t listen and just went with her ideas. There was the head maid in charge at the beginning who advised her on royal etiquette, got ignored and decided to resign. There was her initial supporter who Hestia won over that showed her the social scene. Not to mention Helios and the king with their too gentle guidance. Diana chose her own way or listened to the temple instead. So it’s literally al the consequences of her own choices that she made. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
It seems the closest thing they had was the head maid that left but she had more of an advisor role. Important noble and royal figures receive education to prepare them to fulfill their duties. It's supposed to be mandatory education in these sort of settings. Etiquette is def something they learn. But there's also the more important administrative and political teachings, which Diana clearly didn't receive. Those are not things that are taught by maids or etiquette teachers. I don't remember any chapter where Helios got Diana Crown Princess classes. And I also never took what the King said to Helios as "let Diana do whatever she wants". I always took his advice to mean "Support your wife". Helios is not supporting his wife by letting her choose the path of incompetence.
Yes, but Helios is working as the "king" because of his health, he dosen't have that much time to see whatever Diana is doing. The king and Helios were trying to "support" Diana, but ended up spoiling her. And she isn't helping herself or Helios. He'd tried to talk to her and amend their relationship but she refused.
Even before Hestia tried to sabotage her, Diana was arrogantly trying to shame the nobility and other things instead of doing something for the kingdom, the poor and sick.
Their marriage was meant to fall for their differences
It's incompetent of Diana to act the way she does. It's equally incompetent of Helios to allow Diana to do whatever she wants, and to shield her from the consequences. More than once in the story he preferred to silence criticism coming from the nobles than to try to correct Diana's actions and way of thinking. They both fucked up. As much as Helios tries to get his shit together now, he is partly responsible for the monster Diana became.
If you give someone a position they do not have the qualifications for, you have to spend a great amount of time training them. Helios didn't move a finger to get Diana the proper education she needed as a Crown Princess. Diana wasn't interested in changing and growing into her position. In fact, she should've received the necessary education *before* they got married. These two goof balls are just showing the nobles how right they were to oppose Diana.
