Historical fiction is rather hard to tackle especially because there isn't one factor for the French Revolution and it most definitely was not due to Marie Antoinette alone. How do you solve national bankruptcy? Severe winters, droughts, poor harvest, and famine? The Parlement's opposition to reforms? The rise of the bourgeoisie who wished for political equity with the nobility and the church? The rise of Enlightment ideas which questioned those in power? The extravagent lifestyle the French monarchy are accustomed to? There were political factors, economic ones, and social reasons. I can't begin to imagine how one person would address all these issues even if it is our MC. Rather, the MC holds many traits the actual Marie Antoinette did as well so I do hope this isn't a tragedy.

But apparently seeing it in pictures angered me, seeing how shocked her face is and the people around her, seeing how red her hand visually, it gives different impact because the novel doesn't give that much details
i understand where the king came from, but it still pisses me off, he should apologize, it doesn't matter if he just mutter or whisper an apologize without looking at her in the eyes and leave, at least try to show a small apologize instead immediately left and constantly avoided her like that
I know the situation will get better and they'll have heartfelt conversation, he will also apologize, but it happens because of blanche, if blanche never talks to the king, the king will remains inconsiderate, and i seriously find that irritating
He's a full grown adult and he still needs a little girl to point out what he did wrong, ugh..
YES he has trauma, his past was awful, but that doesn't give him the right to embarrass the queen in public like that! I don't have any problem with how he got pale and slapped the queen, i also understand the part where he yelled at her, but when he saw the queen stunned, he should let out a tiny small apologize, even though the apologize is improper but at least he try, it angers me that he didn't try at all before blanche scolded him

Actually wasn't Marie Antoinette greatly misunderstood historically? She ne...
