tbh I do not hate him at all because based on what we saw this chapter, im assuming he really loved Cecilia and knew that Veronica's (elisa) family was behind her poisoning. Like ik that technically treating her the way he did when she became empress is unfair and wrong because she herself didn't do anything but I think its too unrealistic to expect the prince to treat Veronica civilly when she's the reason behind it all,,,like he's human I don't think anyone would be able to forgive someone that easily............that being said I feel really bad for elisa and I don't necessarily want him to ml (but I wouldn't mind if he has great character development)
