Here I was expecting the princess to be a “rival” (through her political prowess, authority, and position). As in someone powerful through a different aspect compared to the MC who helps him at times, but also use him at other times. A relationship that’s cooperative at times, and perhaps neutral or even antagonistic at other times.
This could still happen of course and would be interesting as the MC admittedly is not into politics.
In any case, while I do feel bad for the princess, but I also kinda feel disappointed that the author made it such that she has/had initial emotional attachment to the MC, which makes her in his camp almost by default, instead of a character development process for both the MC and princess from which they come to understand each other.
That said it is still possible since now she has her own goals I guess, so we’ll see and I’ll be happy either way if the story end developing well.
