ari gets to experience a canon event w toxic men

She would probably ends up like fl .. having her youth stolen and heart breaking by that shit
Tho it's her choice now .. fl was with him for so long and he was nice to her and honest at the start like school and all that even when he turned shit she was holding on to those times .. or some hope at least
But ari now knows he's cheating and it's complicated ! And she chose him herself
Tho he manipulated her and she fell for it .. but she's dumb so it's not entirely her fault for now
BUT if she started seeing the fl or abusing her it's gonna a different thing ..

Im fine w her staying w the Duke bc if she goes to the palace she's js gonna get bullied there and not so much be cared about since there'll always be the maids who think she's not real, etc. ofc there's the dad and brother but like they won't be able to help her every single time. While in the dukes she is having a better time.
i love the story now, but at the same time I wish the start was a little stretched out so we could see her thoughts in real time and such instead of a rushed flashback. Still goated I love this sm.
