Yes, even I feel like that's what happened but we can't blame her for thinking like that tho, I mean her father ignored her and decided to keep her in the dark which ended up in her misunderstanding and taking her own life. I mean, who wouldn't, when your own father treats you like that. But rn he seems to be able to express his feeling pretty well, why couldn't he do that before (┛◉Д◉)┛彡┻━┻
ikr! I was thinking he purposely ignored the FL so she won't get hurt by the emperor and for them not to think that she's her father's weakness. Lastly, the scene where Max entered the Shadow room, I was thinking that maybe her father asked Max to rescue the FL that time, not to torture her. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
What if the father and the ML were planing to overtake the king that day and the father gave her the knife to fend herself cause of the chaos that will happen.
