First of all , WHATTTTT phon being a prince was unexpected Second, I thought phon was finna confess his feelings I was so confused side it just seemed too early but he didn’t confess his feelings so it’s cool
In one of the chapters he was leading Mabel through the castle without even seeing the place as though he had lived there and he said he’d rather not attend the ball in the first place. I think the prince also mentioned having a brother but doesn’t say who.. all of that foreshadows Phon being related to the royal family in one way or another. Is it really that unexpected?
Ok I always thought of their relationship as weird because of nightingale she was a third week and it was all over the place but that was cute plus he distanced himself with her so it’s chill also I like him with his hair down I’ve wanted to see it for a while now
