the ML DEFINITELY has blue eyes and blond hair.
for the FL, all i can remember is that i believe she has dark hair (possibly black)

the story starts with the FL's kingdom being attacked (she's a princess). her mom helps her escape and gives her a necklace (could be wrong about this part but i think i remember it happening). her entire family dies but she manages to flee, but then she's cornered by the ML (the prince of the enemy kingdom attacking hers) and a group of men on horses.

a little skip here cause i don't remember

somehow the FL ends up in the enemy kingdom. she's working as a maid (?) but is found out that she's the missing princess by an older man (i think with black hair) by a distinguishable mark on her back signifying she's her. she's then blackmailed by him to help betray the king. the prince eventually finds the FL working there and begins to fall for her. he also confides in her at some point that the king is forcing him to conquer other places in order to free his mother being held captive (in a tower of sorts?).

this is all i can remember right now. i've been looking for the past 30 hours. i have scrolled through THOUSANDS. THOUSAAAANDS of manhwa. i am BEGGING for help. i've asked chatgpt in several different ways and prompts and none of the ones it has pulled up has been correct.

it is NOT: "A Capable Maid" or "Being a Maid is Better than Being a Princess"
