I still don't understand why the prince despises her that much, it's not like she's the one doing bad things to him. And he's been plotting against her since he came back so I can't exactly say he's good. They could've worked together if only he tried to, I mean she clearly wants to improve herself and from what we've seen since the beginning she actually can gandle being criticized and she prefers the truth over people lying to her about her skills and such just cause she's the next in line (and the mother pays people to do that).
