Hate to break it to you, but people do that. Often.
This is a historical fantasy novel. Throughout the ages women have been forced to marry ppl for political reasons even if they didn't want to. I doubt her saying anything to her father was going to matter especially considering the father actually invested money into it. I mean even in modern times it unfortunately still happens #－.－)
You know all this stupid ass misunderstanding could be solved if she just told her dad to end this engagement and her thinking her dad would be stubborn enough to keep at it without thinking of his own daughter. She’s making the decision for him and all this is just spiralling out of control
