She is not thinking at all, she is a moron. I dont understand why these “feisty” characters are made so inconsistent, they think something but do the opposite. Her solid behaviour is starting to break down into utter idiocy.
I think the story has consistently be a bit weird like the first one i picked up was the msg in her first trip with the prince. The second latest one is the ego bow where he seriously thought "Theres no arrows but I will just pull the bow string even though the thing that would make more sense is me just hitting them with the bow itself". Thing are just happening because author needs and wants it to go a certain inconsistent way.
