Is no one going to address the fact that the prince had a magic seal put on her that prevented anyone but him from being in physical contact with her???? And apparently caused backlash if another guy confessed to her??????
Fr😭 Like I get that this is weird as hell and certainly a choice made by the author for it to be a romance. But if the adult is not actively trying to get the child to fall in love with them then it’s not grooming. People need to stop using that word incorrectly or it’s less likely to be taken...
I’m glad I withheld judgement against the king. The vaguely worded line “there’s no doubt that she’s a child of royal blood” made me suspect that there was something more going on.
