Right? And the moment when they met, instead of going with: "His majesty ordered him to escort me" like the fiancee was about to do. She went with: "Your fiancee gently offered and insisted that he should escort me". I was likr: (●￣(ｴ)￣●) yeah, the king is now her fiancee.
It could also mean that the king probs ordered the duke to accompany the princess but told her that the duke wishes to accompany her... the king really looked like he wants the duke and princess together and finding ways for Ayne to let go of the engagement
But the way she interrupted him was suspicious ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
I would usually say that based on how the princess is drawn id say shes a two-faced bitch but who knows really... maybe this is all a misunderstanding... so give me spoilers yall, need me to know if greenhaired gurl is a hoe
