I really wanna like this but yikes. I'd get it if the father didn't know anything but honestly at this point even he's a piece of shit. I thought he toleranted the mother because he was in love with her, or her family held some special influence on his but the minute he hit her. It all became abit confusing like what was the.point of turning a blind eye for so long? What it took her ruining your whole rep before you did that? And for u to honor the princes request so that you never had to see her again since if she's with Claude you can't lie it off? Or what you were to afraid to face the backlash u deserved?!

Yeah I know that wasn't really the point of the post. My point was I just wished he didn't bother being nice to her at all. Or showing her sympathy the whole time. Like if he wanted to keep the relationship with her strictly business he should have kept it that way. It's not like she doesn't already know what position she's in isn't flowery. The older brother I get but I can't fully fathom his actions.
Honestly something about the first prince is giving me the ick. Like I'm about to read 34 or 35 and he's like marry me with no real thoughts to protect her after the fact. Like at least the second prince has been doing all this research and protecting her at ever turn be it in a forceful way but still. The first brother just looking like a confused fish so I'm dropping this.
Noo please continue reading it, I was the same as you but I promise you won't regret!
