The prince tries to go after Lilly but that was just to get to Tiana but Lilly escapes & because of this slight, he demands for Tia to replace Lilly. Saying he was promised a concubine and he wants Tia, since he knows Tia helped Lilly escape. Her father is away at the time. Her grandfather says no but the Empress swears that her son will get his way... and she also realizes that having power over Tia is having power over her family.
Secretly the prince is starting to feel bad, he didn't want to force someone to be with him, and starts to wonder why he is hated so much.
While the above comment is also okay, what I mainly meant was the part when both Tia and Perez will go to the North. There will be a really big relationship development with the two there! Tia will meet Perez's wife in their previous life (and ofc some internalization for Tia here and her feelings). Something will happen to Tia and everyone will see how much Perez cares for her ┗( T﹏T )┛ and then there will be confessions and *MAJOR SPOILER* first kiss. This is the part where their relationship will actually become ambiguous (finally)
I just came to check how far the manhwa is the story in right now, but finally this arc!! I quite like this arc and what will happen after! Okay I'll come back again maybe after a month or so lol
