for a second there i thought i was reading demon slayer
summary of the politics going on in this story
1. there are 2 sides in power: the crown prince faction and the aristocratic faction (aria's family, oscar, isis and vica from the meeting all belong here)
2. the aristocrats hold much more power than that of the crown prince since theyre rich and monopolize the businesses etc etc
3. crown prince's goal is to take away their power. asher's parents died when he was young (from what i recall) and so did all his connections with other nobles on his side.
4. IN THE PAST: asher had to marry isis (from the duke family) when he turned legal age to be king but he became a puppet to all their schemes. his morale and reputation went further down too when he attempted to manage the casino and it failed leading to the masses disliking him
5. back to PRESENT: since aria knew about the casino's end, she pointed out how badly the closure of the casino under the CP's management would ruin him when they discussed this at the meeting (not knowing asher was the CP)
6. taking her opinion into account, asher decides to sell the casino to viscount vigue (a corrupt gullible fool) and he buys it and this becomes a "bomb" that might ruin the viscount in return
7. the sugar. aria knows that soon, a noble family monopolizing the trade routes to outside will close the routes, resulting to the shortage of supplies of many products. aria sees this as an opportunity to earn more money by buying cheap stocks of sugar beforehand but also realizes that this occurence could be a power struggle she shouldnt get entangled in.
im not gonna say much cuz they'll be spoilers but thats pretty much it. i hope i explained it right in an understandable way ! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

small spoiler on the romance:
to everyone reading this for the romance.... im sorry but you gotta wait a LOT for it since it'll probably start in the next 50 chapters or so bc this story is heavily focused on revenge and politics. the crown prince will be there but her rise to success will literally be by her own hands and no one else's
Love that. Aria’s a bad bitch
eaxctly why i love herヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
most omegaverses treat omegas like shit but this one treats them so much worse its so disgusting lmaoo i really hoped this approached the omegaverse differently
