Shipping her with the silver-haired dude? He might be the duke's family, but at least he has a good heart, and is very respectful and nice towards Bel. Also, an added advantage is that he doesn't have a history of selling her to a life of slavery...

He might be better on the throne than Kiris, seeing how for all his bravado and lofty morals, he isn't doing anything to curb the nobles, and didn't hesitate to sell out Bel. If the silver-haired dude gained some more awareness, he might do a better job. Though I assume he isn't the male lead, so this won't be happening

Is an ass... his family is purely aiming for the throne.. feels like there'll be a point where he will betray hong lyon to take the throne for the himself. It's easy to see that he would not hesitate to do this, even if he doesn't betray her. He sold out his own brother in the worst way (the brother was so young).. wants to kill the emperor and the bodyguard who saved hong lyon, and has no great regard for her either.
If nothing else, i'd like to know his motivation for going so far.. No one so young would be so greedy for power without a good cause..

She is quiet and shy, but being shy and quiet is not why I dislike most shoujo leads, it's the fact that they have no self-respect in the face of the male leads that are jerks. Or if they are tsunderes. I like her character. She doesn't speak much, but gave him back his present when she was mad at him, instead of being dumb about it
When she stops crying over every little thing? She cries when she sees him, and then when she thinks of something, and then when she does something, and then while she has to take a bath, and then when she is about to wear clothes...
I mean honestly. I am by no means critical of her actions, she must be uncertain and afraid of him while wanting to take care of him, but not everything should set her off like that. She's had time to adjust here... then why does she get distressed and start crying at EVERY.DAMN.OPPORTUNITY???
Djdndn I agree so much
