Your analysis is surprisingly interesting. Σ( ￣□￣||)
All your points seems true to me.
How is leading him on not her fault? Especially when she danced with him after rejecting the crown prince. That was such a dumb move.
Yes, That was dumb. I don't know why she did that actually. I believe she felt bad for him so she felt she had to.
Your analysis is spot on, however, with his brother's permission, he could get with Satie. that was always an option. I'm actually not sure if he needs the crown prince's permission or the emperor's, but if he were to get it, then she would cease being a Regina and could get engaged to him intead. He has a chance actually.
Yes, The story did mention that with the Crown princes blessing, A regina could date one of the other princes. However, I don't think it was in the clear to marry him or annual their engagement.
Everyone is saying that she's leading on Kayledin but, She's literally in a competition to marry his brother. She's pretty innocent but also isn't. Yeah, She's sweetened up to him and asked him to escort her and all but that's pretty normal considering she needs soomeone to escort her. I also think it's a responsibility to act kind towards him because he is technically more powerful than her so it's just right of her to be kind towards him. I can understand the people saying she's leading him on though because she has really sugared up to him and acted a bit suggestive that she liked him. They're both to blame for his feelings. First off, He was the only one kind to her in the beginning aswell when Satie was surrounded by enemies. I do think that she started crushing on him then but once she went on the vacation with the crown prince, She started falling for him instead. Then after that I think Kayledin realized his feelings and started doing small gestures for her. But, Even though the crown prince and Satie got closer, He was still publicly on Irene's side at the time so he couldn't necessarily continue getting closer to her like before. But of course, He kept getting closer to her while still publicly supporting Irene more. I think during that time Satie was unsure of who's side the crown prince was on so she took refuge in Kayledin who always supported her. Now as time goes on, She's gotten so much closer to the crown prince and developed feelings for him. But at the beginning, It really seemed like she liked Kayledin and that she wouldn't get with the crown prince so I think he thought it was safe to like her because she wasn't on super good terms with his brother. He should've realized that she was practically engaged to his brother and she would possibly marry him but I don't think he payed that much attention to it because again, She was at horrible circumstances with the crown prince and he was dating Irene, Not to mention everyone also preferred Irene over Satie at first so he probably thought he had a small chance. I wouldn't say he's totally at fault for falling in love with Satie. She also gave him a bit of false hope with how close she got to him and how kind she was. I think the both of them realize she likes the crown prince way more so he's backing down a bit. I also admire how he doesn't hate his brother for being close to Satie and has never once tried to sabotage their relationship. Anyways neither of them are entirely at fault because the situation really just pulled Satie away from him while he realized his feelings. It isn't fair to say that Satie is to blame because she was just put in a bad spot and accepted his kindness while showing him affection aswell. It's a bit given that her asking him to escort her, Go places with her and just the general hints she gave him would cause him to have feelings.
