Jeremy and Nora are friends? But I was just pointing out to you that Jeremy and the prince are the same age as Nora but I think because of how mature Shuri is we forget she's just 16. If anything it's weirder for the Prince who is actually friends with Jeremy to hit on Shuri rather than Nora who I think would be closer to Shuri than Jeremy.
I don't know the complete story but I've read enough stories to know that he doesn't like Shuri because she doesn't fit the church's view of a good woman and was part of the reason for her death in her previous life which was horrifying and undeserving regardless of the rumours spreading around her.

oh man, imagine if your friend was crushing on your stepmom shshsj; does the prince/highness like the step mom romantically or as a mother bc i’m conflicted Also i don’t see any other potential male lead/love interest oh dear
