I really don't know why I keep reading. I know I'm going to get angry when she inevitably ends up with the emperor. But I wonder how they are going to do it. Are they going to make the duke evil somehow? Are they just going to relegate him to 2nd lead syndrome? In this kind of story, where the ML is trash, have authors never heard of "better alone than in bad company"? There's nothing wrong on not having a romantic partner. Or at least waiting for someone that's not literally trash. Why do they keep trying for the irredeemable arse?
