In the next few chapters, amny things will change such as Max starting to accept he is atracted to FL, Fls father quickly catching on to this and more BS from the ex.
Fl Ends up not chosing an escort for the banquit. She arives instead with her father as her escort amd they wear matching white cloths with blue ribons and jewels. (father wears the cuffs FL gave him).
When they walk in everyone is captivated by their beauty but also confused, because of the rumor ppl thought she would bring her Lover but she brought her father. Ppl start gosiping that maybe its a distraction, so Fl's father (bless the man) werry flashingly adjusts his colar witch gives everyone a nice view of the rumored Cufflings on his sleave!
Quickly the nobels go "ah it was for her father, shouldnt have belived the rumors", also the nobel lady Fl exchnaged leaters with runs over exstatic. Fl gives her her gift (a custim made hand carved powder, with atached mirror), lla the ladies are stunde by the gift and go "where did you buy that". Fl goes "of i coundlt find a suitable gift for you so i had it custimmade, its the only of its kind in the world!". The ladies all think "shes a saint, no shes an angel!".
Meanwhile the ex now knowing there was no other man... gets happy with a dispicable grin and tries to aproach FL and her father. But Fls dad gives him the most meneching "il kill you" glare as he wlaks past, this causes ex to frieze in place and think "didnt he hate his daughter?!?!?" (shocked pickachu face).
Fl goes outside to get fresh air and cries a bit (happy tears, all the nobelladies like her and are nice to her). Max jumps out of a tree and asks what panned, she says nithing is wrong and he asks her to dance to chear hjer up. They dance in the garden, but their silousets can be seen though the stainedglass. Fl's father comes out and finds Max dancing with his daughter. Fl and max stop danching after heraing a glass breaking sound, only to see Fl's father standing with glass pieces in his left hand glaring at Max (he crushed his wine-glass when he was max smiling at his daughter).
Fl runs over and asks dad what happends and worries if his hand is injured and dad reasures her he is fine. HE still glares at max when FL isnt looking :P (if looks could kill, max would have been gutted)
My own thoughts.
The father is so cute as the story progresses, Fl starts to undertsand that he realy cares but still thinks he is trying to marry her off. Tho i belive she now knows its isnt to get rid of her.
Max realizes he likes fl, but had to find away around Fl's dad :P.
The nobel laides only disliked FL because she was hostile twards them (her fearing they would steal the ex). They all fall for Fl and even sees her as a Saint and Angel later on :P
The ex is trash or worse... He is angry that FL isnt answering his letters, that she wont see him and that she may be seeing a new man.. "you said you would love me forever! il make you pay".. He planed to hurt FL because of the rumor, but when he found it was fake he planed to aproach FL and use her. Lucky Fathergave him the death glare!
My speculations on the Ex.
Just my speculations, but it seems to me the ex was the one who poisoned the Princess to get frame FL. (He is a cunt after all.. he asked her to never apear infront of him nor contact him after she broke up, yet is pissed she followed through on her promise!).
It Seems to me the ex was with FL because he wanted the suport of her father, and with that suport he was able to become a royal knight and get close to the princess. Hence why he dumped FL, but dumping her wanst enough he wanted to destory her world, so he fraimed her and had her experience being abandoned by her father.
In the curent timeline the reaosn the ex was ok with breaking up with FL was because he thought Fl's father would still suport him, but that wasnt the case. Turnes out the reaosn the father suported him was because FL liked him :P. Hench he cant become a palace knight and get close to the princess in this lifetime :P
Also in the last life, Max may have been sent to the shadow room by FL's father to get her out under the guise of "torture", after all Max dosnt like his family so why would he care if FL had poisoned his "Sister".
this might be a spoiler to i duno if its acurate. My guess from raw's

From the look of it, it seems the mother is trying to marry cinderella aka the stepdaughter off to the ML. And also that along time ago the mother promised to hand FL over to a guy (prob prince) with shoulder length blond bob hair, i think the kid was in love with the mother so she promised him FL whom resemples her the most. Also this is why the mother never had FL learn anything... she wanted her to be ignorant and marry her off and retain the power of the house.
No spilers just my opinion.
Her ex sucks ass..and so does the "original novel" of the manga.
Let me get this straight.
Fl is the saintess ment to go through hartship to develop and awaken the Hero's power and be saved. And said hero is her constantly cheating (but dosnt see it as cheating himself) boyfriend..
He openly lets women flirt with him, never turns down an invitation from the opersit gender, aloves them to kiss him and even aloved actions that reprecent love and marrige intent twards him, yet he expected Fl to just sit at home and waith for him like a loyal dog that forgives any wrongdoing on his part. In the original fl forgave him because he was always there to rescue her (like a prince charming) but the curentl FL dosnt wana do any of that shit so she dumped him.
Whent Fl dumped him and started dating, he was in shock!.(he thought she would come running back and beg to get back together)
Then Fl end up marrying the one she was dating, so he desided to show up on her weding day and confront her, and was creamed at for ruining the happiest day of her life. (He though his mere presense would change her minde and have her run back into his arms.)
Then he finds out Fl's husband MIGHT be a Demon, and that info is based on one knight who was found passed out's testemony and the ex is over the moon with happynes.. Because "she was just bewitched" so onece he kills the husband they will get back together. But at the same time, there was that one page where he went "if it turnes out she is with him out of free will, ill kill them both".. Like wtf dude.
Thats not love thats obsession.. Hove come you didnt give as shit about cheating when you were together but the second she is happy you wana destroy it all for your own selfish "needs". Even his fellow knights and superiors are notecing how blody unhinged he is.. like in the recent chapter. After being told Fl's husband is a demon, to literaly have an evil grin on your face..
I hope for the sake of the story, that the ex ends up getting repremanded and a treaty gets made between humans and demons because of Fl and her husbands love!
So the prince never liked fl.. because hes the main capture target in a Otome game.. and the reason he married Fl is because the heroin never soved up.. all the comcubines have the heroins traits hence..
Fl dies or it was all a dream and wakes up in bed back when she was still in school..
She goes to school sees the prince (her fiance) trips and gives herself a cuncosion. While unconcious she remembers her old life and that the ppl close to her were Otome game characters... She voves to let the Heroin take the prince if he fancies her, but still falls inlove with him. But uses her "past life" skills to start cooking.. and the prince tries one of the cookies she gave her brother... and he likes it and starts to think FL isnt just a prety face...
Whats the heck is wrong with that prince...
So when they were kids he hated her for being fat and called her names, then he hated on her for being spoiled and thought her parents greedy.
She changes all of this and his first thougts are "she is sick, she is distressed from not seeing me"...
And then we find out he "loved her the way she was" but didnt show it because he felt "unworthy" of her?!?!?!?... Was the prince dorpped off a balcony when he was a kid and hit his head?. Even his right hand man tells him "its comming off as if you wana cancel the engagement" But he isnt listening at al..
Chapter 4. The reason FL started hating her sister is that FL was ment to be the princes fiance but the prince sent his bulter and the butyler stated "younger sister will be the fiance" when they asked for the reason, the answer they got was "her fugure". Think about it she was still under the age of 6 and was told "your figure is to ugly to be his fiance".. To a child! And then they get engaged and he ignores her 99% of the time and sees the family as greedy, fat and rude...This is seen because the brother works with the prince regularly. And most ppl see the family as such even the nobel ladies.
He ignores his fiance 99% of the time because he is working, yet his words to her are cold, painfule and spiteful when they do meet. How exacly is she to know he donst hate her? Even his right hand man has informed him of his wording. and yet "he does it all to be worthy of her"?
From my understanding, it was the emperor who picked the younger sister instead of the MC so im currently giving the prince the benefit of the doubt.
Though i do agree that the prince needs help on how to actually speak with the MC properly. I'm guessing he wasnt actually thought how to choose the right words to communicate with other people and tends to have a one track mind where they focus on one thing only (not relying on the mc for money) and forget about the other parts of his plan (spending time with the mc)
That wasn't the prince who said those things though; it was the emperor. Also it doesn't seem like he ignored her 99% of the time, just in the past 6 months as he was working (which she thinks is a cover for him cheating, but he actually was working). And while yes, her brother seems to know what's happening with the prince, he also didn't like the FL and would say what he could to dig at her (and she would do the same). So the prince hasn't done anything to hurt her other than not communicate well - which seems to be an issue most of the characters have to overcome.
why are these stories and synopsis so cryptic..
So the "queen" of the entertaiment world was betrayed by the office guy? And abandoned to rot and died mysteriously. No word about her bff from the start or the picture. Then ad to that secret "stat" cards all entertainers have and a mysterous woman who has failed 3 times... On top of that she is beautiful and has 3 cards? And from the synopsis.. she marries the dude throu a contract all to find the trouth or to become next queen..

This might finaly be a great Ml!
Fl sleepwalks causing her maid to wory, and love her even more.
One night she was told to saty inside, her instincts tell her to leave. As she walks around, the madness driven Ml senses her and goes off rout. (he was ment to go kill and drink the sacrifice, but when into the woods after FL)
In the woods FL comes across the lake from her dream, she falls in but her energy dosnt settle down, it gets more active casuing her to crawl out of the water and lay on the ground in "pain" i guess.
Like in the dream Ml comes and fined her but unline in the dream he isnt covered in blood nor chase her! He walks over and kisses her and likes her neck and after a bit of time he bites her shoulder drawing blood. Fl comes to and leaves, Ml gets his senes back and remembers what happend (first time ever) and has no thirst!.
The day arives for FL to meet Ml and serve him, she falls into his lap and he is happy, she is shocked and blushese. They end up kissing as the energy is only settles by physcial contact with Ml and Ml's thirst and pain is only quenches by her blood and kissing / afection twards FL!
Ml cares for FL and orders a hush on her "healing power" to protect her. And also orders his men to keep an eye on the other comcubines (prob future problems).
It seems ML is understanding and has great insight into how the village would have treated FL! So he goes out of his way to try and make her happy, this includes him personaly teaching her how to read and write!
Also unlike in other mangas it seems Ml get repulsed by other femakles physcialy contact after Ml and Fl's frist night together :P
There is another comcubine, who grew up in the slums and was scouted to becomes a comcubine, she is prety and hase a nice body, but Ml only drinks with her and when he does he thinks of FL :P and then the comcubine gets upset and tries to touch him, Ml feels scik and when she starts to undress and touch him:P his lower half dosnt "react" and he leaves thinking of FL and of spoiling her :P
duno the raws are only a few chaptrs ahead. Also the main reason for the comcubines is human sacrifices for ML madness aka "blessing / blood of the sun god". One night a week a "comcubine" would be take to a room throu the crimson path (red bricks/stone) and when the Ml gets there the madniess kills them and their servants and settles down for one more week.
Wait her mom was to gready. But earlier in trhe chapter FL stated that her father was confined to the building she chose to live in when he was young because he was picked on and the only person that was there for him and genuinly cared for him was the young maid her monther. And that he loved said maid.. SO how was her mother gready if they loved eacother but he was forced to marry his wife as the "head " of the family but chose to have a relationship with the maid who then demanded their child have equal rights as a child born by the "wife"? How was her mother gready? That just seems like an exuse made by the wife to get rid of the maid and he accepted it and punished FL.. From the look of it the dad is nothing but a pushover who cant say shit to his wife because shes the reason he got the power he has.
Spoilers below from the novel and about Fl's death befoer her curent life.

The 4 families each reprecent a season. so there is a summer, spring, winter and fall family each with the power of a flower. FL's family has the power of the Rose.
So in her pervious life she tried to do all she could to give her power to her brother, she even told him about her past lives and reliving.
The stepsister Gabriella is a spoiled cunt, she hates Fl because she is pure blooded and thinks she her self is the pritiest most becautiful "princess" in the world and therefore deserves everything she sets her eyes on.
Gabriella is engaged to the heir of one of the 4 families, but she hates a daughter of one of the other families because she sees that lady as her rival.
Gabriella learns that the familiy her "rival" is from found their long lost next head (the one with the power) and in a scheem to hurt her "rival" she has said heir killed.
When this is investigated and found to be Gabriellas doing she point her finger and blames FL, the brother quickly pushes the blame on the unknowing FL and she is inprisones and thats where chapter 1 starts off. When fl ends her conversation ith her brother in prison she breaks out and kills her entire family with her power and then comits suicide and lives again (this time not taking their shit, as she lost her last feelings for the brother).
The brother is an intitles prick. The family has the power of the Rose so the darker red the hair the more likely you are to become heir. He belives the power is ment to be his..
In the novel Fl's first deathw as the brother pushing her down the stairs after her power was discovered, because he was jelous and if she dies it will trancfer to him.
The father hates Fl .. because the mother died in childbirth...So the married the stepmother who is the spiting image of the dead wife.. and fawors said womans child aka Gabriella..
The father is also responcible for FL's death in 3 of her lives. In one she killed her with his own hands after she told him she had the power, in the second she informed him of her previous lives and he experimented on FL to francfer the power and killed her in the process. And finaly the third time he experiemented on FL and mixed some blood that exploded and killed them both.
The winter "prince" (winter seaoson flower power next heir) is a prick, in one of FL's previous lives he tried to capture and use fl's power resulting in her death. In all of FL's lives he has been the first to sense she is the holder of the Rose power and tries to get close to her, going so fare as to even fake love (he donst give a shit about her in reality).
Ml is the Heir of one of the last family (not the one Gabriella killed the heir to in the last life). He was Black hair and blue eyes and is super teritorial when it comes to Fl.
Thats all i have managed to gather.
I love you
