i had to reread it but essentially lily was manipulated and cursed by alios and whoever else to get close to the prince or they said she would disappear
they all the bern is doing this for his sister who’s fiancées with the crown prince but obviously being ignored
it comes out it was the kid that was supposed to be home that pushed lily because of his jealousy of her choosing the crown prince
alios then accuses bern of doing this cause he has rights to the crown which the lizzy deflects and airs both the crown prince and alios out with the bs they’ve been doing.
Thank goodness for this expat because I had no idea what was happening
this shit is so messy can someone explain what just happened because it is NOT processing in my head
