broski…that is the empress who can destroy her family and kill her mom whenever she wants if she doesn’t go with what she says. Ricardo KNOWS the truth and he still casted her aside she can’t like literally can’t tell no one her family does not have the power to go against THE empress
She’s keeping her mouth shut whe she can trust her family to protect her mom, hide her away?
And with this business having the queen on edge over Ricardo she can put that plan in motion without her noticing.
Also the queen isn’t all powerful, she can’t just snap her fingers against her family and they’re all dead.
They NEED her so her son can ascend the throne because she’s from an influential family. It’s why the red head got dropped immediately in favor of her. She’s not as helpless as it appears to be since they had to blackmail her to get her to marry.
But if you take her mother outta the equation (by hiding her or keeping her in the estate) then there’s not much the queen can do to keep her hostage.
Also she knows Ricardo and how little emotions he had in childhood, so I dunno why she’s not seeing that when she also read the story. He went from no emotions, to slowly opening up, to having his emotions hardened out again when he left away from her.
What tf does she MEAN we’re in this together and now you’re allies? You chose to stick with them for Ricardo so he just gets sent away without the stigma of killing his brother, that’s OVER now that he’s back???
So why can’t you pull away and tell your fucking family that you need to support Ricardo for the throne instead of the queen now, even if he’s pissy.
“I’m allies with the people who ruined me.” Shut upppp, you can legit just stop you NEVER WERE ALLIES. They FORCED you to end your engagement and get engaged to the other prince to protect Ricardo.
She’s like legit pissing me off, WHY is she so damsel in distress now where did her quick thinking and planning go. Now she just sits and gets angry and stalks off and goes woe is me I can’t fight against this fate and boohoo Ricardo hates me and wants to marry another.
Get it together queen I’m still trying to believe in you. u___u
