No kidding. I just wrote a comment for a rare Harlequin where the FL remained strong and didn't forgive the ML for a vague "Perhaps, maybe I may have been mistaken." Now we have this one, where a toxically masculine male with the resources of a kingdom behind him goes for total revenge on a woman from a middle class family. So, when he was a child, did he import frogs to the desert for the pleasure of stomping on them?
Number one: He was stupid as they come. His "my eyes only" report on her apparently went through the king's butt-boy and the king before he ever saw it. Verdict: He was mentally as sharp as a basketball!
Number two: He's the crown prince of a kingdom and is as rich and has nearly as much influence as Vladimir Putin, and he decides it's time to exact revenge on a girl he dumped, mainly because his father wants him to marry. Verdict: As I've opined before, Harlequin Royals very often make the case for the French Revolution and rabid Jacobinism.
Number three: She is not allowed to speak to anyone at all without first obtaining his permission. Verdict: Uhh... can we say that this handsome, god-like male's OCD has reached the form of an acute and chronic mania?
Number four: When, through his own abject stupidity, she is declared to be his wife, he decides to make the best of it. Verdict: If this is an epiphany, I'll prefer a dose of Epsom salts as it has pretty much the same effect and doesn't cause my brain to explode.
I could go on and on about why any sentient woman would run for her life when someone like this approaches her, but I'd rather not get to the length of War and Peace. I'd just like to say that his ill-timed and quick "sorry" was something like Hitler or Pol Pot saying, "Gee, I may have been wrong. Let it go this time." And SHE BOUGHT IT!!!

You are fucking HILARIOUS my friend
