I read that. I think you are pointing the part where Jieun said "Ruve and the people loved you more etc". I think thats because when Tia died Ruve+people realized that Tia is more useful that Jieun so they now say they love Tia more(or more like needs her governing prowess cause Jieun sure fails in that part)

yep and that's why that girl hates tia. When tia was alive everybody loved or at least pretended to love her but deep down she knew that rube loves tia which made her feel hatred towards tia and leaded her to frame tia and tia died.. And after she died everybody began to say that tia was more useful or something.. Its like people who come to your funeral just to say that they loved us which was what we need before committing suicide.. Anyways you should also read the comments if you haven't read them..

...read the translate..there already people that translate the novel,I said because he is being poisoned also it's true he hates Tia because Jeremiah died while protecting Tia,Ruve hates her because she always being loved by the emperor and people around her which make him envious. Yes and Ruve also under Duke control, Tia is hated by aristocrat that's why the duke trying to wipe her out. He realize he loves her because he always longing for her Care after she died Ruve actually went to depression and he realize he loves her. I think maybe he is slowly fall for her? His way of being mad to her because he wanted Tia to love him so much,to fill his heart that once his father and mother never really show their love to him. Also because of the potion, Ruve hate become more strong. I agree with the author trying to justify him,I guess the author want us to feel sympathy for him too.

It just doesnt make sense that the person who you hated in you entire life with your whole being suddenly died then you realize you want their love. That is realistically impossible. Even though it is a novel, the author should have justified the prince better. Now I know why a lot of people are angry with the ending of the novel. Everything is half assed so that Tia can still end up with Ruveliss. It would have been better if Tia really inherited her family name and became a knight. Everything is a mess.
Technically if this was Jieun's story you would all love her. She died in her past life even though she didnt do anything wrong. She was trying her best even though she was thrown into a world where she doesnt know anyone, doesnt know the ethics of that place and doesnt even know who is really on her side. But she was given a second chance to get revenge on everyone who wronged her. This is kinda the same as that villainess with the hourglass. The difference was that Aria was mean in her past. Just give Jieun an hourglass that can reverse time.
