I think apart from Eris/FL lead, the person I pity the most is her Father. That man loved his child so dearly. Yet, the prince used that same affection and attention and twisted it in a negative manner towards OG Eris. Discrediting her hard work and efforts by pointing out who her father is and insinuating that her father would've manipulated the competition for her? Making their noble house seem like a den of unfair snakes. It's ridiculous. I'm not sure if he ever knew the pain she went through outside of his estate but I know he'd be so heartbroken to learn the truth that she's already died due to the worlds cruelty.

right, I know that Helena's story is really sad and remorseful
but again, she kept asking why Eris hated her?? I don't know if she really is thinking about the reason or even trying out to understand why did Eris HATED her?. but in the end she just play naive that she don't have a choice but to be hated???? why can't she just not see that ERIS hated her since the prince is pampering her too much which Helena didn't even rejected even once. He may be the crown prince but still Helena could have voice out her opinion about it not just accept everything given to her. Eris not knowing Helena was being manipulated doesn't have any choice but to hate on Helana.

I find helena dumb and naive
this pov of her solidify my views on her

She's far from naïve. This is shown in her inner dialogue and past reflection. She makes her choices based on the fact that she doesn't have enough spine to put her foot down. Because of this, not only is she repressed, but she makes everyone around her suffer do to her knowingly choosing the easy way out.

That’s it !
Life isn’t always supposed to be pink and with a happily ever after, especially if you are a noble. Okay everyone need a chance in life and Helena also has the right to thrive for a better life than the one she had (well mainly because she was supposed to be the heroine). But it doesn’t give her the right to trample on other people’s efforts. Eris assumed the role of a villainess because she didn’t have a choice, she had to if she wanted to protect her loved ones. She « happily » traded her all to do that and made so much sacrifices but Helena what did she do aside from waiting for that dickhead of prince and that sluty mother of his to give her a hand ? What does she even have to lose ? She’s too naive and weak. So much that it became her sins.

Well Eris thought her father didn’t like her and she was blinded by love so the prince has the upper hand.
That sh*t, i hope he will have a miserable end.

amen to that. Dude's a creep, he would've been arrested for harassment, assault and abuse of power had he been from MC's world.
