Ho okay make more sense but i still don't like it ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Yeah. The story is a bit cheap in that way. The two of them fell in love without the pressure of status. He thought she hated him because she was cold during their engagement but he recalled loving her smile when they first met. Because he thought she hated him, he kept his identity hidden
How does he react to her being sold? And did he want to break the engagement with her since he thought she hated him?
They didn't touch much on his reaction to her being sold because they slipped the behind the scenes portion of his investigation.
He wanted to end the engagement, originally, because he actually believed the trash girl's accusations between the FL being cold towards him and the "witnesses". After presenting the case to everyone in court, he properly apologized to the FL in front of everyone about his role in this and how he believed her and her friends rather than investigating. Claimed he was ashamed as the future ruler of their country who should have known better to not allow a simple manipulation mislead him.
But why did he break off the engagement in the first place?
Oop nvm
Why did the prince break off his engagement with her?. Also why he was together with the other bish?

This is a bit more separate, but I’m just surprised that kings in general or crowns were sent to the brothel bride before they’re getting married. The idea of experience is so stupid’ cause like which bride would be happy at the thought of her partner going to sleep with another woman. On top of that, I’m presuming they’ve been virgins their entire lives until this one night they go to the brothel which then in this conference case he goes repeatedly even though yes we also a female agent and they’ll get together in the future, but still. Imagine if this was a complete stranger, and the female lead was the fiance.
Because men being experienced are celebrated. It's something that's a thing now where some will look at a man weird if he's a certain age with no experience. To be nervous or clumsy during the first night is seen as not being able to lead, I guess.
Meanwhile, women were taught to be pure for their future husbands and have him take care of her needs.
True, but despite knowing it was normal in the era it will forever bother me
I went on to read it elsewhere (had points from plaza) and here are some spoilers for y'all.
1. The prince bought her the first night because he thought it was, in fact, his ex-fiancée and wanted to be sure. Them having sex was after he got carried away.
2. It was common practice to go to a brothel to get experience. It was true his uncle told him to go, coincidental that he went to that particular one she was sold at, but intentional that he bought her.
3. They both fell in love with each other, him knowing that it was her and hiding his identity, her just falling for him and thinking he looked familiar (chapt 13 she finds out after he falls asleep next to her).
4. The one who sold her was the trash girl, not her father. Her father lost sleep trying to find her and appeal the annulment of the engagement.
5. The prince never allowed anyone else to buy her and when she tried to cut him off, he bought the brothel. It worked in his favor when he was trying to re-establish her position as crown princess. Convinced the nobles that she was untouched because he saved her in time (in truth, he was the one who touched her... Repeatedly).
6. Trash girl gets exiled after everything comes to light. Looks like she's planning on doing something else later on but that's the latest chapter. After she sold the FL, she heard news that the FL was stabbed to death by a customer, so she thought she was in the clear for being crown princess. The prince hired someone to lie to her, so she thought he was going to the brothel for experience for their wedding night.
