Nah man I think that's why her last request to him was for him to give up his own life. By him killing himself in her command, she got revenge for her best friend. She was probably thinking that once the duke died, the emperor's power and influence would suffer too (since he was the one who ordered the duke to kill her). For all we know, she could've been conspiring with the empress dowager to get the 3rd prince the throne. The novel just described how she acted, not her actual feelings. Sis secured the bag and avenged her friend in one elaborate plan
Wowz deep HAHA
She didn’t know at the time that Arsene killed her.
That might be possible,, but novel ended with just like that.. so we didn't know!!
She was investigating who killed her friend though so it's possible that she found out and acted in secret to get closer to him I just think it would make her a real BA character so it's my personal wish ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
Og novel was a bs how can og fl fell in love with the man who killed her bestfriend. Even in her current time she's acting immaturly no doubt she's cute but sometimes it's sounds like bit selfish.
Annnd Arsene can't you feel that you're threating her!!! She's literally afraid of you.
