yeah no see this is why helena doesn’t slide with me. she constantly claims to “just want to be friends” but there is no way in hell she didn’t see anything wrong with being escorted by someone ELSE’S fiancé to their own debutante. it’s just like when she purposely didn’t try to explain the situation about her tripping and got eris slapped- the bitch knows what she’s doing.
(just to be clear though the shitbag prince is 200x worse. trash deserves trash I guess.)

She literally can not say no to the prince. She said so herself just a few chapters ago. She's afraid that if she disobeyed him, she could be harmed or worse.
The only scum here are the prince and the queen.
They know Helena can't refuse them and are using her to humiliate Eris. Who, I don't need to remind anyone, has done nothing wrong

while it’s true she can’t say no to the prince, there was literally no reason she couldn’t have just explained that she tripped and that eris didn’t push her. I understand the need to blame the betrayer rather than the home wrecker, but in this case she’s not as innocent as she makes herself out to be

helena cant speak out about anything AT ALL. thats what makes many of us pity her and hate her at the same time. she never spoke up when the crown prince verbally abuse the maid for her, she never spoke up when og eris locked her for hours and she got claustrophobic. she doesnt even tell anyone about her mother nor the fact that og eris bullied her so much. if she cant stand up for herself she obv isnt gonna for someone else (there are ppl like this irl)

Yeah she's definitely not. But to be fair, with OG Eris Helena was fighting to survive and if she broke someone's heart in the process (someone who even bullied her despite being more powerful and her not being as responsible as the Prince back then), she'd choose to survive. Now, with the new Eris, Helena's passiveness can't fly, especially when she tries to be actively harmful (the tripping incident) than simply passive. Tbh, I prefer her brand of toxicity because she is in a very bad position, rather than the Crown Prince's unfounded toxicity.
YEONWU CAN GET IT AYYEEE
