: I believe the author is using this story as a critique on the regressed daughter with doting powerful father genre. All the characters actions are the same as what happens in other stories, it's just that the perspective has been shifted to show the reality of dealing with those sorts of people would be like.
A tyrant Emperor willing to kill your whole family because you dared to tell him that gifting his child a whole country just because she was being cute is unreasonable, and a princess who is noble and kind and all, yet can't seem to comprehend that people are their own individual existence that don't exist in the vacuum of her immediate entourage.
That while this type of story presents them as a loving happy cute family, the reality is that the emperor is still a tyrant willing to kill on a whim and the princess is self-centered and thinks of people as objects to collect.
I don't think the princess is supposed to be evil or ill-intentioned. I think she just exists to point out major character flaws that these protagonists all share. Our MC on the other hand is the character foil. She's doing her best to survive but isn't making it about "capturing" people, when she does kind things she worries it will be detrimental to her but does it anyway. She also recognizes that children are going to act childishly and not always be mini adults. She's actually having to survive on her own with her own power and not by just borrowing the power of her emperor father and acting likes its hers, ect ect
