the annoyingly self hating fl are so annoying, he's obviously in love, shows his affection openly, told her he didn't marry her for gain or political reasona nd what does she think?
"he'll make me misunderstand if he acts so effectionate/nice"
"did he marry me to escape a marriage he didn't want?"
"i don't understand why he married me"
that's not only annoying bc she's being oblivious to the most obvious in your face show of love but she's being downright rude making the marquis out to be a manipulative bastard that used her to make his life better. like she's making him out to be a bad person and that's as downright villainous

the fl really pisses me off, she's like a no brain all muscles knight type that doesn't have muscles either. going left right, left right, acting by herself and being surprised by the consequences, acting alone when she knows she doesn't have the ability not caring about how it'll affect others.
she's ridiculous and makes no sense. i almost prefere a damsel in distress that's incapable of doing anything rather than someone like her

this story makes absolutely no sense, authors rhese days are just looking for new ways to make the fl look and act pathetically, no matter how far fetched it us. can no one, not even the "kind" priest tell her the truth.
and also the stupidity of ppl automatically thinkingl "the previous saint was ugly and a bad pereon so ugly saints are bad ppl and pretty saints are good ppl"

fl thinking the worst of her husband and being obnubilated by her own suffering and his perceived "hatred" that was bron from him not really talking to her before he went to war and one 1 singular "why did it have to be you" remark way back then makes me hate her.
and all this time she spends in internal turmoil over this and that and the ml's action when she could just ask him for clarification is pissing me off. get over yourself, stop overthinking and start communicating no?
but also the ml just coming backa dn acting like nothing ever happened and giving no explanation isn't that much better. is a simple "i was really introverted and didn't know how to communicate when i was younger, I'm sorry if i came across as rude. but I've liked you from the start, i just didn't know how to express it" so hard to say?
thinking about the situation when 2 people are concerned instead of discussing it together is utterly foolish

the fl believing rumors and the princess' one sided feeling bc "they look good together", never asking sergio about it, assuming that he feel nothing for her bc she's self conscious isn't cute.
sometimes humility, naivety and self-consciousness becomes downright malice and she's on the path to that.
what's next, her thinking that he slept with her bc of the mood or bc he's kind? if i was sergio and knew what she thought of me, I'd take it as an insult
there's so many things that makes no sense
1. she's froma ducal family, just under an archduke, she's in no way a low rank noble so how can ppl openly criticize her like that?
2. tho they have to protect themselves from her uncle, they have land and a title. sure she locked it and gave it to the king until her brother is older, but they have a high enough status to find a legitimate guardian and/or work in the palace as a lady-in-waiting
3. how can her uncle be so influencial that he could just steal the title with no signature from her
