i don’t like the crown prince like i get he was always missing his mother but how can you even call his actions genuine love/affection?? he’s treating shuli like an object he must acquire, and doesn’t care for how she’ll be harmed when the public criticizes her. in fact thats literally what he wants so she’ll fall into despair and run to him. him being a villain makes complete sense although richilieu is the ‘main’ villain of the story imo
nora on the other hand has always grown up wondering what he can do for shuli
