Truthfully I hate the "woe is me neglected 2nd daughter" trope just because she's always paired with a "stoic and doesn't reveal everything on his mind duke" like your causes all this confusion because you don't think it's the right time to tell her your true feelings?! Even during the scene where they see the evil sister at the opera he says something along the lines of " I know there's confusion about who I wanted to marry between you and your sister, but you trust me right?" JUST SAY YOU WANTED TO MARRY HER SPECIFICALLY AND STOP BEING SO DAMN DUMB. GOD. Like your whole plan doesn't fall apart if you tell her you actually love her, ughhh such a frustrating read.
