mc is one of the most traumatized characters right up there with ruby so it makes sense that she's so passive/resigned to the abuse. still v much frustrating tho, to the point that she made a plan to run away but she spent the entirety of the story "making up her mind" and it took this 49 chaps for her to finally run away. with that said, idk how the revenge/regret part will go, it seems like ml is gonna be the duke anyway
