If she isnt a duchess or a marchioness herself, she should be thrown in jail for disrespecting the sole heir of a marquessate and a princess candidate.
@No1Kenkaku shes been recognized for her achievements in cooking so although I’d agree that she’d probably not be allowed to work in her cafe anymore, I’d hardly think they’d disallow her from cooking. I’d think she’d be at least be allowed to teach at their own school.
Also, you’re both looking at this too personally. We’re talking about royalty here. You just don’t go and say you don’t want to marry the prince just because you dont want to especially since she seems like she still hasnt even mentally accepted that shes a pretty high ranking noble herself and still views herself as she did on Earth. Being an independent female isnt a concept they’re too familiar with either even though they seem open to it since they were surprised that the chef for the int. Conference was a woman. If so, then the concept of not marrying just because you dont want to would be an odd concept to them. Plus I’d assume its also her reward for all her achievements since a regular person in their world would take it as an honor to become the prince’s bride.
Of course we all know that aint happening either way since Zeke exists so yeah, its all just for drama anyway.
