Now why tf was the princess whipping ml in the flashbacks??? pray tell why is it necessary for your etiquette lessons to involve you watching ur servant whip him while you sip tea? & then to say he's simply not driven enough when he doesn't want to keep being abused!!! errybody in this universe needs to go STRAIGHT to hell bro!
My heart is so broken for the fl. Theo is so mean to her for no reason. It's not even "cold duke of the north" who does small kind things or has an internal monologue or smth. he can't even have the stereotypical "who made you cry " moment? He just tells her to stay in her room bc she'll look bad & then tells her not to wear her parents heirloom at the event bc it'll cause gossip. Fucking bitch. She's already crying anyway. & you're srsly telling me you couldn't have ANYONE write her a letter back when she was sending you them for MONTHS ☹
Ofc he was abused & manipulated by the grandfather but so was she (and arguably much worse). He can't even show her kindness out of a sense of comradery? Jfc
ML is 34 years old and spends his days bullying his crush / subordinate for no reason. there's a certain level of asshole you have to be to interrupt every one of her free days / hours on wild errands, embarrass her on live TV and at interviews, never ask her anything abt herself i.e her birthday, etc. And fl taking it for 8 years is crazy!! Pretty privilege is real










that was the most anticlimactic reveal ever. reunion + identity reveal + romance confession in 2 min or less... I'm at a loss for words
