To be honest the priest lie is very well planned and I would myself believe in it. (And this is very rare for me in romance plots.)Because
1- prience never admit his feelings or clearly showed them. (Our girl is dense in that area, he knows it , but never corrected her explicitly) and also in her position assuming that the crown prience is loving her would be curicial judgemental mistake in real life. Because statutes and circumstances matters in real life.
2- in the last war she learned that the crown prince's side knowingly started the war to raise in status. Even though crown prience learned this fact very late , he never acknowledged it openly or apoligized about it etc. , totally benefiting from the unnecessary war, leading the FL to think that he is not valuing the people's life's ghat much. She could very much assume that he sees them as chess pieces.
3- she was told by the father of the other girl that crown prience keeps tabs on her because he doesn't trust her completely and crown proence would choose to believe him over the her. And in that situation , where crown prience lacks communication, and also look out for her, this kind of misunderstanding is very believable.

I dont like how author makes the "flower of ordieal" the responsible by adding the forgetting and self correcting part etc. It was the choices of that b""ch and now making her seem like a puppet with limited choice makes her behaviors more tolerable which I don't like. Btw. FL's mentality is also getting weak each chapter, I don't like when chtachters loose their rationality when they fall in love and blush and questing themselves in every important scene...

I also like realistic stories and this is why I didn't like this change. She was very strong willed from the start had a plan etc. It is believable that she is sometimes feels down, doubt herself etc but her personality changed so much with love and she is really dependent on him. It feels her rationality wavered a lot. But I understand if you feel different about it it's subjective
I dont swear but author make her f""king happy. She deserves the world. She must be rich happy healty NOW! Make it happen.
Btw chop her ex husband's things as well. He must suffer. He must beg, he must die. Ahhgg .
What is worse than this story is so realistic that it can happen in real life... My prayers for all that woman in their suffering form these abuses
