ML seems to have sprouting feelings but still ignorant of them
FL thinks she'll be married off to the Prince, whom almost tortured her so she hates it. Also, she's looking for a dance partner, and most likely trying to find a way to stop the "arranged marriage".
But whenever she chooses a guy, her father checks them in person before rejecting or accepting the set-up.
ML is finally back in aristocrat society, since trash emperor finally called him back. he attended a masquerade where the attendees all trash talks Juvelian, which pisses him off, so he threatened the gossips before leaving the place.
My theory about last life.
I think it was planned out by the emperor to create a rift between the crown prince and the Duke. especially once he finds out that his daughter committed suicide during the crown Prince's visit to the shadow room/prison. especially when you think about the qualities of the emperor aforementioned in chapters before, he'd definitely use his own daughter's life just to poke into the Duke and the crown prince who wants him dead.
I really wonder if the author would show us what happened in the last timeline after Juvel's death. (人*´∀｀)｡*ﾟ+
Father, I don't Want this Marriage
