I don't know why she didn't cry that it was her father that forced the marriage....he deluded her and abused her into it and show them the stab wound saying that they'd kill her if she didn't agree. Wave a pity story and request for refuge. Also say that her father was acting fishy and colluding with some strange people and as a good citizen she can't ignore it but she's powerless and has no proof..boohoo..
That would end her problems all together
She wouldn't take that risk. Usually back then if there were any nobles who thought of rebelling against the crown the entire family gets executed. Even if she were to act out as a pitiful character, no one would believe her considering the fact that her reputation is bad and she isn't on friendly terms with the Crown Prince, so would he even bother protecting her ?
Ahh....
No offense..but the duke really doesn't deserve her.
People can change and his feelings can change...
But she as a witness of his douchebagness should know and respond accordingly.
He said "I love you, lets abolish the contract and be husband and wife for real" and you say yes? Without even revising the terms??
Lady are you crazy??
He even has the audacity to not let MC date with other men other than him when he literally just dated someone else
Duh, that’s macho society for you - women should remain « pure », while men should be stallions that « score »
(Obviously men are not too smart with math, mm?)
