Helena is innocent she never asked for the prince attention and the original FL wasn't good but that because of the true villain the prince and the king because the king is kind controlling the FL and prince is controlling Helena. Like father like son.
to survive? she's favored enough that the prince goes apeshit on anyone who does anything to her. like, damsel in distress much?? plus, even though she KNOWS the prince had a fiancée, she still wasn't distancing herself, instead, rubbed it in all the more in eris' face that her fiancée is cheating on her, that she wasn't chosen.
But that’s because she’s acting that way. We can tell she knows what’s happening. She’s aware of her position and how fleeting it could be. The moment the emperor dislikes her or the prince because maybe she’ll slip up and continuously decline him, she’s fucked. I don’t doubt other families would switch up to. The other guys may be more genuine and kind but if the royal family goes against her they would be powerless. She’s also trying to save herself, be pretty and be a saint. That’s her role.
she doesn’t like the prince, if anything the prince is the main antagonist. the og eris went out of her way to harass helena when she wasn’t doing anything, and helena couldn’t say anything to the prince because she knew that if she did that the situation would get worse. she couldn’t distance herself even if she wanted to, if she did then someone else would get punished in her stead and she would be isolated from the other maids. she’s in a situation where she can’t do anything since she needs to survive, she can’t ignore the nobles and she has to comply or else someone else will be punished
Welp, its their "request" not orders, she said it herself a request can be turned down and can be accepted that depends on who u requested from but she decided to accept it and she knows that she's being hated but the thing is, she doesn't do anything, she's ignoring the fact that eris is the crown prince's fiancé and she keeps clinging and rubbing it off right infront of eris' face soooooo neh if it is her way to "survive", then there's a lot of choices, like everyone does, like Eris does but i guess the orig eris is pretty blinded by range cuz of Helena welp cant blame her, she's the source of Eris' headache ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
We should be pitying Helena and not hating her because I think she was just trying to SURVIVE and she never ask for the prince and empress attention but she has to do what they say because of their status.
Also, she seem like she living like a doll because people are controlling her because of their status.
I agree with u..she didnt do anything wrong but i cant help but hate her under the circumstances snd pov...she stole everything from the fl..her husband her childhood friends..her love...everything and it foesnt seem to bother her at all...i cant help but hate her it bothers me tht she doesnt do anything about the fl sadness when shes the one who caused it....she is practicly flirting with her husband in front of her...because i see eriss pov i cant help but hate her...if i never knew eris pov and only knew helenas i wouldnt hate her i would actually like her and think she was sweet and i would most likely hate eris...but because of the pov i cant help but hate her...even if i found out her pov now i would still hate her cause i love eris and think shes a queen
We are not looking at the big problem it the SHITTY BROTHER he trying to find a way to takeaway the FL power
