Ahhhh there's so much I wanna say about how good the story is but rn
I only ever realized after reading up to 90+chps how is it that the caian crown prince knew/guessed alot of stuffs but didn't do much about em
despite having loads of screentime and knowledge why hasn't he actually ever tried to actively pursue to get involve/meddle and help with anything in a much earlier time
they're all portrayed as close friends even the princess tried helping from the sides when she found out(the princess isn't even lia's close friend when they we're younger but the crown prince and claude because Lia became a stand in for his brother)
If he had made a move on earlier time he could actually be one of the romantic candidates
But then again all this could just be cover with the reason, he's the crown prince too much involvement wouldn't be good for the royal family or claude is just too good at watching over him
But it still makes me feel conflicted, i wonder if he'll ever have major big involvement on future updates, the biggest help he'd done is helping the bale lord out of the hostage situation and siding with lia on her reveal (the rest are mandatory prince duties that benefits mostly everyone not just his friends)
