Ah... A place where all the idea come... Washing dishes
i think it's because she didn't think she had to go to that extent because
spoilers
rose has memories of the past so she's shocked when patrizia became queen instead of petronilla. because if it were petronilla, rose could just repeat her actions in the past and become queen again. being adopted was basically her last resort/the ribbon wrap in her plan. but patrizia was able to thwart everything and so you can say rose was struggling and kept doing useless crap
GURL OMG! THIS STORY IS JUST REALLY AMAZING! THANKS FOR THIS AMAZING SPOILER, HOPE YOU HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
while washing the dishes i thought 'why didn't rose just ask the duke to adopt her before the choosing of queen/empress? so that she can become a candidate and make the king/emperor choose her' but oh well, the story wouldn't be here hehe
alsooo! who agrees here that the queen/empress shouldn't end up with the king/emperor? it would be better it she could just hook up with ella HAHAHHHAHHAHAHA
