Idc if it was political. I'm still judging the empire for accepting her into their marriage when she was going to be nothing but an empty concubine and forced into the role against her will. She had a lover and he was killed. I'd feel guilty if I were the emperor and empress. Lord knows her actual father clearly didn't give a shit. Fuck the maid too.
@Poseidon15 TRUE! I never thought of that... what if he wants to get revenge on the empire for the death of the princess? They did say she eventually died. Probably of heartache + she already had weak health.
I love how if the King fell in love with a commoner, nothing would happen, a Cinderella story. Yet if the princess did, she's married off and the commoner is killed. 😑
wow that was one hell of an escalation on the king's part??? as far as it looked like, the two hadn't even exchanged love tokens. rather, the princess received a gift. that maid is a hella snitch 🤧
