Julia isn't ugly and is actually cute, but that's just it... She's cute. Julia has the appearance of a young girl while Susan looks like she has entered womanhood. She can 'compare' herself to Olivia, since her looks feel young while still looking her age. Susan tho? She is gorgeous!! She is elegant and has an amazing hairstyle with a cool confidence that can be admired.
Yes, I am simping.

Deep inside your heart
That's where it's got to start
There are those who doubt
You will start to sprout
But believe in yourself
You've got to believe in yourself, baby
Got to believe in yourself
Or you'll get nothing from anyone else
Don't give up when people tell you "no"
Keep on searching for another way to go
Go, go, go, go
Believe in yourself
You've got to believe in yourself, baby
Got to believe in yourself
Or you'll get nothing from anyone else
Believe in yourself
You've got to believe in yourself, baby
Got to believe in yourself

So that's why she wants to be friends with Eris. She sees herself in the other woman and understand how it feels to shoulder expectations and be rejected when all you want is to accepted.
I don't really care either way, but I can understand a bit Helena's view of things. She is reaching out to the only other person that could see her and knows her suffering. I was right in my assement that none of the og love interest ever really knew Helena as a person, let alone Eris. That knight swore loyalty to a woman he's never seen the true face of, that's why she tried to reject it. It was burdensome to her. SMH
The crown prince is trash so we don't even acknowledge him aside from murder plots to free Helena of his psychotic obsession. At least the other two are easier to turn down.─=≡Σ(╯°□°)╯︵┻┻
all i can see is that the knight went "pretty lady powerless, must protect" while his involvement WILL just get in the way of helena assimilating in the palace....all those muscles and titles and none of the capture target has brains!! all they care about is just to make themselves seems most dutiful to her but they dont even bother getting to know her all the while. ur comment is on point
