Nah I don't think so, seeing her efforts so far, I don't think she would lose her confidence just because she lose once. Tia body was weak since birth, but she never gave up no matter how many times she fail when she trained. And she didn't need to become a Commander to avoid her engagement, all she need to do was become the heir of her house and swore a knight oath to the royal family. And I think the Crown Prince wants Princess Moira to win because he want to divert all the hatred on Tia to Moira, if Moira wins and get those gifts and the Prince purposely showing favor to Moira, all the other Princess would be wary and jealous of her instead and seeing her as a new rival, and they would find a new target to bully.

It's not exactly what happened in the raws but close enough....
Moira wins, and Tia IS NOT AT ALL unhappy with the results so Carsein and the others were like okay. So, Moira gets to dance with the useless prince with her token (the shoes that was meant to be Tia's) but, I think, the shoes was tampered with by the Prince and he gloats about it in her face. Tia kind of maybe reprimands him for that and he gets angry. In the latest chap of the raws, it seemed that Tia apologized to Moira despite heavy outbursts of no's from both her supporters and even the anti-royal fam houses. Tia says something and gets out of the banquet and stumbles upon the douche prince taking a nap and that's where the chap ended. Really, even with the explanations regarding his behaviour, the douche prince is still very much useless and I still think that Carsein and Tia should get together. That'd be like a very huge FUCK YOU to the anti-imperialists bcs ofc they'd stay loyal to the royal fam despite being a huge power couple. BUT I know that's not going to happen bcs Tia is a girl in love w/ her first love and the tropes must be fulfilled and all that. Such a huge waste of potential chara growth, it's like they want Sakura to marry Sasuke at the end of Naruto. Oh, wait.

ive seen the spoilers, still dislike him anyway.
the story just seemed to go downhill altogether tbh.
i dont remember ever feeling so much desdain for one single character.
But at the same time i dont mind them ending up together that much because...honestly..ive started to ...dlike tia...considerably less than before.
some decisions shes taken have been...pretty stupid, if you ask me, and honestly...she kind of has it comming.
wow, so many offended people. Well, its hard not to be with that lil bitch as the male lead, but- and i never thought id say this myself- i think youve misunderstood him in this chapter. Hear me out: If the moira princess wins, our mc will get her confidence crushed, plus, a lot more people wouldnt want her to take on the possition of commander(was that it? i dont really remember.,,,) Anyway, that way tia would get less suport(on getting the position, i mean)and with her waning confidence, with just one liitle push from a special someone, she might finally acceed to being empress.
Anddd those are just my two cents.
Of course, i still hate him and want to have his dick choped off, but thats another story alltogether and im sure im not alone in this notion.
