Ion get it what is happening rn

So crazy guys is obsessed with cayena( remember he married her in the past and abused her) and the brown haired guy hes talking to is one of Rezefs aides and is get suspicious of cayena( remember she trying to get rid of ppl who support her brother In the palace so she can be see as a valuable asset and doent have to be married off). Those two guys are planning something against cayen and the Duke while they're at the temple (which is a neutral area where the emperor hold no power)

Does this have romance and/or action?

A bit of both? This is not a romance story or an action one, and none of the major players are involved (or seem to care) for romance, but some characters that have interacted with Natsume have been involved in romantic liaisons and some stories have involved Natsume to be proactive.
Generally though, this is a slice-of-life shojo manga.
Wait what’s she tryna do? Why won’t he eat her cooking
Essentially her plan is for the Prince (king?) To get unbelievably sick after eating Ginger's food. That way either 1. She gets suspected for trying to harm him and 2 he will never be able to confidently eat her food again.
(I mean if you've ever gotten food poisoning before ╥﹏╥ -Like that.)
Bruh that makes sense but it’s just dumb cuz he won’t just lose all faith in her cause her cooking harmed her one time… right?
But the maid was told to sew the mind-block crystal into ginger's dress.
That way when the prince asks If she meant to make him sick and she says "no" he can't verify and will began to doubt everything since he is so use to being able to know for sure her true thoughts.
Obviously wont work cause ginger and prince be tight. But from dumb bitch POV the best way to be sure a relationship will fail is to root in doubt and with doubt thier can't be trust. It's the core of how she destroys all ginger past relationships too.
