LADY RACHEL
Marie assists Lady Rachel several times. First with the dress. Then with baking snacks for the prince. Then later on with resolving a conflict with foreign dignitaries. Each time it happens, the Prince asks Rachel how she came up with the idea or who helped her and Rachel says she did it on her own, but the Prince already knows it was Marie. After the final time, the Prince tells Rachel that he knows Marie is the one behind her and that the thing he hates most is being lied to.
After that, Rachel develops a vendetta against Marie. First, she tries to frame Marie for stealing a holy artifact. Eventually Marie is able to clear her name and although the Prince knows that Rachel is behind it there's no proof so he has to let it go. Later on, Rachel bribes someone to lure Marie deep into the forest during a hunt where Marie gets attacked by a wolf and almost dies but is saved just in the knick of time by the Prince.
The Prince manages to find the guy who lured her and he confesses that it was all planned by Rachel. Rachel gets disowned by her familiar and imprisoned for life. The Prince really wants to kill her because she almost murdered Marie but he spares her life in the hopes that God would bless him for it by allowing him to be with Marie.
LADY ARIEL
Looks down on Marie from the very beginning, as we've seen. After Rachel starts to hate Marie, she incites Ariel by mocking her about how embarrassing it would be if the prince chose a maid over Ariel. Ariel tried to accuse Marie of disrespecting royalty when she catches Marie playing with Prince Oscar (the ignored child prince), but Prince Oscar refutes all his arguments and forces Ariel to apologize.
A few days later. Ariel and Marie cross paths in a hall. Marie tries to avoid Ariel because she's on an errand for the Prince and doesn't have time to bicker with Ariel, but Ariel sees this as a rude slight and goes to slap her. Her hand is caught by the Kielhan (the Marquise/Imperial Guard) and he warns Ariel not to touch even a hair on Marie's head. Later on that evening, the Prince also visits Ariel and gives her a warning as well. Ariel is absolutely terrified by both men and doesn't cause any more trouble.
Later on Ariel sincerely apologizes to Marie of her own volition. She's at the hunt when the Prince gets injured saving Marie from the wolf. After seeing that, Ariel withdraws her candidacy for crown princess saying that she wants to marry a man who loves her more than anything. Marie tries to persuade her to stay by insisting there's nothing going on between her in the Prince. Ariel stays resolute however and obviously knows that whether or nor Marie is in love with the Prince, the Prince is clearly in love with her. She asks Marie what she's going to do about both the Prince's and the Marquis' feelings for her.
