I....dont think they're engaged. Theres a lot of proof here that he wasnt engaged with her
1. That b*tch had some flashbacks about people excpecting her to be the empress. People were talking about how perfect she was. This proves that she really, really, thought they were gonna end up together. Plus, she comes from a good family. So, she thought they were 'engaged' because she was so sure she would become empress.
2. The prince said "It seems as though you're caught up with your delusions." This was rlly good evidence that they just werent engaged. Cus maybe she was just crazy and in her own world.
3. I think that b*tch's family and the Royal family are on good terms. Like, if people were so sure, then they're family are probably on good terms too. And it seems like they're planning on getting both of them engaged (?) Cus they arent stopping the rumors or anything.
4. The prince wasnt afraid to go out with her. He didnt seem to have the intention of hiding they're relarionship. Cus he isnt even on guard. I think its only our FL thats careful.
