I want her to succeed running. Anyway both fl and ml are not yet fully develop to live without another so this will be fine. If they are separated there will character development. I have the urge to read if there is a novel but I already have an impression this manga is for the light hearted hence the romcom aspects.

i think I know what happened (guess)
because she is wearing tualin traditional dress the emperor think she was from tualin
something behind the scenes happened in tualin and begonia. I don't think those assasins are really from begonia they just used the name to provoke the empire.
as for the one pulling the strings I'm pretty sure whoever the arms broker (weapons dealer) backing is I think he is just around the corner
the royal knight is suspicious, I can't even call him 2ml yet.
