@Eksentrysyti Maybe prince is just a manipulative touchy-feely type, there are types who are prone to closer body contact. I still expect fiancee to fall in love with MC, though now it seems less likely. But maybe said fiancee would be more supportive of mc if she learns about her circumstances, cause it seems Illea desires to live freely as a man can do.
@amiradiana There's a chance that all of his close surroundings will be executed after he loses battle for the thorne, risk is quite high. But yeah her actions aren't well-thought at all.
@nrinzu Yeah, her brother deserves to be hated, i'm wondering why she still considers him a family.
@Bramia,
@tzazs Didn't her brother know that according to the law if he doesn't join the army, they will be brutally executed? I think country laws are a pretty common knowledge, especially among nobility.
