A Royal Princess with Black Hair - Ch. 24

[Cephi]

@Kirin-kun Probably because the neighboring kingdom took his lover away so he is doing the same for their prince. He probably assumed that the prince and princess are lovers. Also it might just be to get the empire to attack the kingdom because their princess was died there.

 

[Nixnaw]

Damn, that was sad.
Caramel you crack me up.

@Sakaiy

Spoiler

Might be misguided anger, maybe he doesn't know the whole story and bears grudge on Empire's royalty for taking the princess away from him and locking her up? Maybe he got fed false information that fueled it? Only conjectures I can think of right now with stuff given.

Bull-fucking-shit. I know the whole point of this story is that they will end up together, but since she genuinely wants to annul the engagement right now, the notion that she wouldn’t use a tragic story about an *unwanted* marriage to convince the mother to help her is stupid as all hell.

“We can’t accept these rings, your majesty. To be honest, we don’t want to be married. I have someone I love back in my kingdom that my parents don’t know about, and I don’t want my story to end like the second queen’s. Will you please help me?”

Simple as that. I know stories like this inevitably have contrivances, but this is next level.

 

[Duck123]

Welp, that was sad.

 

[Eiry]

They suit each other so well ♪~

@DarkLordAlfie Uh, but she has no such love of the sort back in her home kingdom and she's not gonna use such an obvious and blatant lie (at the expense of the concubines dying wish I might add) for her own selfish desire.

 

[BrambleBee]

Thank you!😁

I really don’t like the princess now, and am starting to not like this project. She is just so... egoistic. She is just thinking about how she is going to be unhappy as a queen puppet, but I just don’t like how she is so two-faced, she really doesn’t want to be engaged? Then she should have told the freaking queen no matter what her feelings are. At this point I don’t like the prince either, he is a bit more bearable because he is a bit more respectful. I swear I feel no sympathy for the princess at all. And now I’m even feeling a bit guilty for hoping that Solace will drop this project and focus in the other ones.

 

[jewj]

Wait I thought he started to like her? Why does he want to annul things now?

 

[DarkLordAlfie]

@KrimzonHawka She has shown she has no problem lying and is good at it, so I don't see why she wouldn't. But that aside the concubine's dying wish was for two people who love each other to get the rings; she doesn't love the prince. Even if she didn't take it as an opportunity to annul the engagement, given the weight the promise clearly holds for the queen, the only decent thing to do would be to turn down the rings and admit she can't honor the wish since she doesn't love the prince.

But this story isn't about two people who are engaged working together to annul their engagement, or about two people who are reluctantly engaged falling for each other. It's a story where two people are brute-forced into romcom tropes while supposedly trying their very best to break up. It isn't meant to be read with any kind of critical eye, I'm just not good at turning that part of my brain off.

 

[SoloSera]

I completely agree with the Dark Lord. This is the perfect time to ask for an annulment and they squandered it because of the "mood". 😑

 

[meilio]

FIGHTINGG!!!

 

[kylie_aliah]

Lol. She probably couldnt say no because she’s never experienced familial love and Mama Queen just showered her hahaha,

 

[Sleepingair]

When they're planning how to annul the engagement once again. And he is been waiting her. Lol this cute little kids. About to make another silly plans.

Queen: everything is going according to plan. Insert maniacal laugh XD.

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THE TRASLATIONS!!!>\\\<

 

[sybil_12]

@Sleepingair hahaha the first line of what you said sounds so sarcastic its as if you're the villain xDDD

 

[badcin]

so the guy who were with the duke's daughter whatever name is the princess' lover 😳 and he's taking revenge on the kingdom. So he doesn't know the truth. It's so sad 😭 maybe if he sees the rings, the truth will come to light.

 

[Yumeru]

@badcin omgosh you're right :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[LaDeeDah]

@DarkLordAlfie Exactly!! The more I read the more irritated I get. Like just take the opportunity to annul and get it over with. Christ I can barely even ship them and silly webtoons like this are usually my jam

 

[mammaria]

they didn't even DO anything??? that asshole king overreacted?? yeah she had feelings but like... they didn't DO anything about it!! also FUCK THAT MAID HOLY CRAP
