paranoid's manga / #Royalty(4)

I really like the main character, she's definitely fun! Reminds me of Martina from the Lady and the Beast. I've been shipping those two since they first met really, so I'm really glad to see the ML isn't playing around with our girl's feelings. My only grievance is the fact that she's in a position where she can't be a friend to the Brant girl. They've been pitted against each other from the start and the MC can see how desperately she needs someone on her side, where she has none. The girl is literally under the thumb of the empress and every move she must make is for the sake of her family. So I can understand that she sees the MC's efforts to be a friend as insulting since that personally is what she has been taught to do: drag down your opponents by flaunting.
