Hard? It's impossible to decline, especially when the proposal came from the king. Unless she deem unfit (for several reason like fertility, scar, or virginity) it would be impossible to decline without harming her name.
Wait, what's the matter with the stepmother? I wonder why she doesn't want Violette to leave the house.
And I hate the prince for being so impulsive. He said that it's up to MC to decide, but honestly, it's really hard to decline when the other party is the freaking prince of the country, and even the king approved. It's not like MC can just "Sorry but no, lol". This is pretty much an abuse of power.
