Here's what I heard once. "I may have learned that too late, but learning too late will not stop me from defeating you." That's what our MC must be feeling now.
Even if you have done bad things in the past, it's never too late to turn things around.
man i just realized how almost all of these villainess do the very same thing... and i cant stand it. I really wonder if this is just a phase in manga reading. At one point in time, people just grow away from manga because of how wethey realize how generic they are becoming after reading too much. Why cant the prince be different? sometimes we get the stupid prince but most of the time its the so talented prince that found a new toy. And naturally the fmc doesnt have to ability to reject the prince. I should go read Whats Wrong With Being A Villainess.
Say what you will about the prince and FL, he got some golden expressions out of her this chapter. I found this series late, but I'm cautiously binging.
