i think og fl was just trying her best to be on top of social circle due to perfection complex that developed during her childhood. she didn't bully nor let other girls bother our fl during the tea party so i think she's not that bad. she probably keeps ml at arm's length to maintain connections due to empress' orders.og fl smart so she probably already thought thay keeping her position on top of the social circle will have benefits that she could use to help og ml ascend the throne
y'all waht if she really ended up marrying a priest while akkad's away at war and they, ravi and priest, actually do end up falling in love with each other with no toxicity or other drama attached? then at some point, the priest ends up sacrificing his life in exchange for ravi to have a healthy extended lifespan.
i think that'd be too tragic for akkad, ravi and the priest so i hope she would just forget that plan and stick with akkad till the end
