I still dont understand countess harpan's intention... can someone explain it to me (⊙…⊙ )
ML is the heir to the throne and the king would like to have him engage with a strong family.
1st choice is the FL
2nd is countess’ daughter
Since countess seems to not want her daughter be part of this engagement, she was thankful of FL of showing that they (FL and ML) were having a good relationship.
In exchange to FL’s decision of continuing with the engagement, the countess decided to support her.
Is... how I understood it.
She doesn't want her daughter to be an imperial princess cuz she knew it would make her life miserable and the 2nd prince is a bastard, the emperor is suggesting/forcing a marriage for her daughter to marry the 2nd prince which is why she wants to join hands with the female lead because she wa able to decipher or understand the reason behind the actions of the female lead like manipulating her cousin into thinking she can become an imperial princess with her help, she will be able to spread gossips which will be known by the emperor and maybe betrothed the 2nd prince which is the bastard and her bich of a cousin.
Lol poor guy
