Not really, it's not refusing Per se she just quit the academy...Unfortunately, since this came at the direct behest of the royal palace, refusal could potentially come off as leise majeste, which could draw her whole family into the crossfire since it would be read into as her rebuking the authority of the royal family
nobility and royal codes are bullshit to deal with.
That or they're just not allowed to hire her. I don't think she can be forced to work as a court sorcerer but she probably can't work as a magician unless it's there.Unfortunately, since this came at the direct behest of the royal palace, refusal could potentially come off as leise majeste, which could draw her whole family into the crossfire since it would be read into as her rebuking the authority of the royal family

Ah, but what if he HAD TO™I knew it. The prince is to blame for her going back in time. He no longer deserves her

... which is just as much utter bullshit as Gideon just constantly doing nothing other than literally blocking her light while she is forced to stand in his shadow. (... I swear that he is written just to be a symbol of male privilege; he does it well, and he acts to help others with it, but he could be an actual Character, if he wasn't being defined by his Role...)
Like, to send her back he had to be in TWOO LOOOVE with her, or knew the only way to defeat the eeevil saintess is to sacrifice his true love, kinda bullshit trope; I mean, that's all 100% out of a "Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale" story right there, yanno?
It also seems abusive as fuck, so... I agree that he doesn't ever get another chance.
But I can see where an author would take the 1730s European mentality out for a spin with the lesson of "He hits me because he loves me."
... cos that's totally normal...
.....Yep we're thinking the same here. It feels lazy so I kinda hope were wrong. But I'm pretty sure he stabbed himself with the same sword after he got her. Seems like it has to be the sword since it was drawn in such great detail.
Eh, but this is annoying I just read a web novel with a price that knew the person he loved was being mistreated but wouldn't help her because.... he wanted her to ask him for help... amazing
