And only her reputation, nothing about his. He never said he would take responsibility for it or right any wrongs, but would be HAPPY if there was something tying her to him. Even it it a rumour.
How is that romantic?
Exactly, it’s not, it’s creepy as f*ck. Go with the prince girl. He ain’t perfect, but he’s better than this creep.
The Duke rubs me the wrong way... the way he asked the Fl out was very manipulative in a subtle way; and it just gave me “creep” vibes. The prince dumb goofed, but he did have a point. Her blind devotion is a definite risk factor, and while his method of teaching her was wrong, as a result of him being hurt; it is something she needs to learn.
The Duke’s way of asking her out is even further proof of her naiveness. She should have stuck to her guns and told him “no, this is not the time or the place to ask that”, especially since he is willing to risk tarnishing her reputation.
