And that's why I got upset when the prince questioned how the fl thinks about her dad. Just because he knows the truth, doesn't mean that what she knows is a lie. She is completely justified in believing that her dad is a horrible parent and that she needs to secure her own life. Its true that this was all just a great misunderstanding, but nonetheless she deserves more.
This!! The prince did see his loving sight for his daughter but the daughter herself never saw it bc he didnt show it to her even tho she should’ve been the one receiving that sight. The image she of her dad is completely real and justified even if the prince knows a way better image of him and yes she deserves better
Long ass paragraph ahead
I like the dad bc he’s hot but i dont like him as a parent. Just bc he doesn’t know how to show his feelings blah blah doesnt excuse his parenting. His daughter grew up thinking he hates him bc of how cold he was to her and the most important thing that a parent needs to provide their child is love which he didn’t show her. The fl can be a lil slow with all the misunderstandings but knowing how she practically grew up yearning for his love while he never showed it to her, i can completely understand why. And lets not excuse his actions just bc he’s showing her some affection now when she mostly needed it from when she was a child, not after she finally died (then reincarnated) when he couldnt even do something as simple as explaining why he actually gave that sword to her, tbh if he gave it to me i would prob think that he’s asking me to commit suicide too considering how he never showed that he cared for her all her life. He’s also part of the reason why she died bc if he showed her some affection then she wouldnt have fallen in love with the prince who was just a lil nice to her
