the prince didnt exactly mistreat her, he just ignored her in order to protect her(?) idk i forgot the exact details but yh, it was her “family” that was the root cause. if he didnt show affection to her, there was a chance the she could live(?) dang my memory ugly af lol but anyways, the prince from the past deeply regretted it ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ so i dont think this is becoming tia 2.0

The prince knew she's not the real daughter of the Duke. He also loved her but he don't have the power to protect her. The imperial family's power was weak. He protected her in the shadows but he can't openly show his affection because he knows she'll be killed. That's also why he reacted that way after she got pregnant. He kinda knew she'll be killed after giving birth. He did something to protect her thou but he came too late before the kidnapping and killing.
Like I get the outrage since this started out with a lot of potential but do yall not see how this chick is turning into Tia? I swear to god what the fuck? What are these signs of her being shipped with the Same prince that mistreated her in the past? Yall just gon let that slide? I'll take Ren as the ml any day
