Considerably major spoilers ahead, about why Emel is acting as he is, read at ur own risk...

One of the reasons as to why Emel 'works' for the princess, is to find out more about the curse that bounds the castiellos to the royal family. I think he's trying to find a way to free them from the curse.
I get how everyone is labelling him as a jerk for his insensitive actions, but there are loads of reasons as to why he's doing what he's doing. I get that there are other ways to achieve the same thing, without hurting Estelle or whatever but this is the only way he can see fit, to achieve everything without burdening anyone, especially Estelle.
During his time with the princess, he was abused, manipulated physically and mentally so he went through a lot, for the sake of the Castiellos. The reason he didn't want to tell Estelle is to because he knew she would beat herself up over it; the fact that Emel is sacrificing so much for her sake. We all know that our fl would not take that well since she cares for him. She'd be ridden with guilt.

Spoiler
Yeah, she and Emel do end up together. It's a bumpy road along the way but they do end up together.
Honestly, that's all I'm aware of so far, I can't say for sure that the ending will be all unicorns and rainbows, I mean from the way the story is going so far, I'm sure there will be....unhappy events? Idk how to put it in words. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

Spoiler (from the novel):
According to the novel, when the duke finds her, her memories do eventually come back: though it's a gradual process and once she got her memories back and remembered how they were killed in the past, she started bawling her eyes out in the duke's arms.
At first the duke was actually worried that the first thing she'd remember was how he attempted to kill her in their first meeting, but it didn't matter since they finally had each other.
Yes, the novel ended with her loving him as much as before, if not more than before.

Bout the black haired sis and the brown eye hair guy
Yah the brown haired puppy guy and the buff sister end up hooking up
She gets preg
They get married after getting the blonde sisters blessing
Idk the full details of how it actually happened and of it was as smooth as I've stated above but it all happens at one point ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

Personally I found it a real crappy read: the guy keeps raping the girl who, despite being a bodyguard, can't even defend herself against him or at least TRY and resist. She was even claiming at the beginning that she didn't want to do this and that with her brother's potential murderer, but her actions are completely contradictory. And despite all the harassment, she 'FaLls iN LoVe' with him. I mean come on. Don't get me started on the smut, the cover's probably the best part.
Idk why but I feel like the big guy could b the big bird they're talking about since he seemed pretty clueless bout the sacrifice thing? ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Hehehe no, the bird is a bird for real it will appear on the next chapters.
Ooh ok
Thank you ^^
