bet they'll only talk about their feelings when they've already been stolen from each other and are angry about it but they're already in too deep w their current relationship, confused who they like but they both know they want the other but can't do anything about it so it's like a case of 'the one who got away' / 'right person, wrong time'
ORRR
myeongin gets sick of their routine and ends the relationship and jiwon begs her not to but she can't give myeongin any reason why so they part ways an jiwon only realizes her and myeongin's feelings months or years later so she regrets it and it's either gonna end w myeongin with another gf making jiwon sad or they end up but not after sooooo much angst lol

i sympathise a bit w helena now that we've seen her backstory and how she thinks but it's honestly so dumb of her not to know or even suspect what alec and the empress would do to eris if it was FOR HER. she knows they favor her and that they have biased judgements towards her. is she not thinking at all?
why was she even THAT dolled up in another lady's coming of age ceremony? she's not even of nobility, but a mere commoner. she didn't looked suprised nor against alec escorting HER in his FIANCE's event when it should be eris that alec escorts especially in a time like this. there's honestly no excuse for this. "maybe she can't refuse the crown prince or the empress," then she should make up an excuse lol maybe she should literally break a leg or something?

She DOESNT know she’s favoured. She was groomed by her mother to be a people pleaser, and doesn’t know she has influence over people, much less the crown prince. She knows he likes her a little, but he sees her as an object to you around with and parade around. “Then she should make up an excuse” she’s a MAID. yall are fucking dumb

precisely the point. she's a maid and she gets to be do all the stuff only a nobility or royalty can do bcs the empress and the crown prince likes her. she knows she's favoured and she's uncomfortable w it, it's implied in her backstory. i'm not going to argue with someone who doesn't know how to read in between the lines.
hope lucia lectures him if he ever scolds damien unfairly and he'll look shocked to see her taking sides lol
Yeessss i was hoping for that ever since Damien's arrival ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
