ok but if you're trying to be queen which is a powerful position shouldn't you have a good skillset of qualities? When you get a hold your position how are you going to keep it for a long period? Does Rachel realize that the royalty is for the people? It's for your subjects not for your personal gain. And she's so dumb how is she going to add to the empire? ヽ(`Д´)ノ
I feel like so many horrible things happened to her all at once it was too much to handle, especially at such a young age of 19. Her father died, her husband abruptly leaves, she starts feeling insecure about her position, her value, and her importance. She's starting to get paranoid and she feels as if her life is going out of control. On top of that her responsibility as a mother is going to be the center of her life now. As we can tell, she's a pretty independant woman and her views are pretty different from women at that time. Being a mother is all a woman could do at that time so she feels even more suffocated. I think we should cut some slack on the ML. His father died, and his position politically is compromised. He's shaken and is scared too. I feel like one person should've taken a step to reach out to the other. If they had just communicated their worries they could rely more each other. :((
