I’m actually not mad at any of the characters like I believe they are all acting pretty reasonable even the prince because he was never in love with the Saintness. He was just using her in order to get the crown, and I think she was using him in order to be protected. And that makes sense so it makes sense why he doesn’t really care about her as a lover, but cares about her as a business partner, and wants to make sure she’s safe in order to protect the sanctity of their deal, but not because he genuinely cares. we see this all the time with FL and MLs so it’s kind of refreshing to get it from another character whose neither.
I really hope she gets closer with the brothers because it seems like unlike other stories they do genuinely care about her, but there are other things in play such as the older brother’s crush (which I think is really interesting because for all we know, it could be just as one-sided as her crush on the prince which makes the lines he tells her even more heart wrenching because he knows they can apply to him too. Especially the line that goes “she should be over her sided crush by now” or something like that like it’s just so good) and the father. I understand stories where the older brother is completely unsalvageable like “death is the only end for the villainess” but I think it’s so much more powerful when you can get two siblings, who have both wrong to each other to be like the way you treated me and the way I treated you were both awful let’s be better.
I would love to read the novel and find out how the characters are written in that, because it honestly seems like the most stereotypical character would be the ML who I’m guessing is the knight the brothers, and the prince seem to be very complex characters, or at least more complex than what is normally found in stories like this. With the pinnacle of it all being the female lead because she is the most human, but insanely bad ass character I have read about. Also the original “villainess” especially the fact that she is to be friends with the saintness. Like I’m so intrigued because it does so much that its peers shy away from. Because they just would’ve made the saintness a bitch to be blunt which I’m hoping isn’t the case.
