It's not so much about taking credit that she is being dumb about it. First, if she realized that Marie and the crown prince have a good relationship, showing that she has a good relationship with Marie too would give her bonus points AND a common ground to talk about behound political matters. And then, the prince asked her very insistantly on two different occasions if she was telling the truth. He was not even being subtle about it... "I will ask you again" is clearly a turn of phrase you use when you are calling out someone on their lies, not the shocked "Really? I had no idea you could do something like that!" used as a praise.

I guess there’s no point stressing over someone who is digging her own grave. Personally, I am not mad she was taking the credit because that was the point. Marie agreed to lend her a hand to gain the favor of the Prince. Marie wasn’t coerced or anything because she set her own conditions as well before agreeing to help. If the Prince some how discovers the truth, tough shit for Rachel then. What’s important for me is that Marie gets her own way on taking her freedom since that is her goal and not the Prince. If the situation was Rachel abusing Marie into helping her, then thats a different story that would warrant my wrath. For now, I’m still waiting if Rachel paysback her share on the bargain before I unleash my fury on her. Lol
To be honest, I’m not that mad at Rachel. I mean, yeah, its annoying she’s grabbing credits out of Marie’s efforts but thats just part of the deal. If she took credit from Marie without any intentions of paying back, then that’s infuriating. But they had agreed to a deal and Marie is a voluntary participant. Rachel will be using Marie to ascend to the CP throne and Marie will be getting the freedom she wants in exchange on lending some help. Its a two-way street. So guys, chill. Kkkkkkk
