Yep, satisfying and all, but I can't help but be frightened by the king's evil grin... I foresee Yulia won't be single for a long time... I'm not even sure she will get out of the ball without being engaged to the prince.

you could go that route but "it was his fate to become an asshole" makes it sound like he's a victim
he was an absolute moron from the start, that's for sure, but I'm wondering if he was a vindictive cunt back then too or if the prophecy thing lead him to spiral into obsession to a point where he's very different now than before they wrote the book (which as far as I know is a good while before the beginning of the series).
also seems like the banshee has enough of a choice in writing the prophecy to make all the changes she wants without a solid fate guiding her hand.
just feels like one of those "yeah they brushed it off earlier but now that I think about it that could be pretty fucked up." things

One could say that it is the way of reality clashing with Otome trash. But that is not true.
This is Otome trash:
- MC impresses the queen immediately. I'll bite.
- King allows engagement anullment without second thought. Well... ok, no harm no foul.
- King allows a blatantly obvious scheme to unfold and be the destruction of a noble family, making another family far more powerful. I CALL BULLSHIT.

I often see people deride shounen stuff on the grounds of it being pure male power fantasy. Well, folks, this is a prime example of female power fantasy. Well executed, perfect payoff - but still: POWER FANTASY.

And now, the coup de grace.

She could've settled for Ramor for a more humble life. But she's gonna get greedy and go for someone above her station for no real reason other than self-delusion and ego-certainly not love.

So now the marquis house has nothing and she'll lose her one source of support in them.

@SGR Why the heck would the king empower a family like this? I doubt the king is planning to set up anything against a (so far unmentioned) third party that is a political threat, for example. The only rationale I can think of is that the king is planning to consolidate power in the next generation by getting Yulia to join the family (in which case the king would also have to hope the crown prince is more than assertive enough that Yulia, with her bold personality, will be a relatively powerless queen.

Either that, or the king is having severe financial problems to the point he needs new supportive factions to deal with it?

idk

I'm actually a little sad the two big dumb-dumbs couldn't become a couple. They could be happy together, and why not? I think their horrific idiot-couple antics, left to themselves, could be sort of soothing to watch, like the cheerful crackling of a dumpster fire.

trusting in a story the nogah house published inorder to fight against the nogah household.....
thats some legendary level irony right here

@Roiya
from the beginning her target was the prince the marquess son was just a stepping stone for her
which isnt nice and turns him into an object but it isnt necessaryly intentional
however turning against the mc for not fulfilling her role and trying to actively rectify the story is intentionally turning everyone else beside her into objects
less of a gold digger and more of a egocentric lunatic with delusions of grandeur
