Not really, she just heard about the king wanting to kill them before they were even born so as in her shoes you'd be thinking all bad stuff and wanting to get out of that place to the point she didn't think about what Arjen was thinking, Arjen is pretty level headed in this bcuz it seems he's always been thinking of the worse while she's not so knowing those facts she got carried emotionally, I guess
" Arjen is pretty level headed in this bcuz it seems he's always been thinking of the worse "
being unnecessarily negative/cynical doesnt always imply more maturity or intellect in a person either, traits people often conflate together.
cant really be helped if she was negative, although they both started out blaming their emperor, it was clear arien was still curious in learning what kind of person their father was, being more open and receptive, she was probably more hurt/disappointed when the truth was revealed. this doesnt make her less mature then arjen it just makes her human lmao
arien seems more of the extroverted type
and rely's on the drama created from it. and I hate the way the author is writing the female lead. she was pretty responsible and protective of her brother in the earlier chapters, now its like the author forgot about that.. (〜￣△￣)〜 & WHY IS THE EMPEROR ACTING SO DUMB?!
