i think it's very funny that the prince is 100% in the right but is written to be a huge rear end in a top hat to make the plot work. hell yeah dude, arranged marriages suck rear end, and you very clearly like this cute girl that seems perfectly nice. better ruin your fiancee's life as part of an elaborate ruse

yeah, on reflection what i meant was 'this guy is one actual justification away from being in the right here, and i feel like i've seen the story where he had one', rather than the implied 'this story is bad because it makes a minor contrivance for there to be a conflict'

e: in fact i think that hypothetical story is exactly the 'canon' version of Fortune Lover from My Next Life as a Villainess

Maybe it will come back up but it also seemed like a lie? Not that the prince didn't believe it but it seems like the accusations were untrue.

oh yeah the accusations are really obviously false. the interesting part is that euphyllia is so dedicated to her ideals that she isn't willing to call him out and ends up sounding like she's admitting to it when she talks about giving layne advice.

i also agree it's a pretty huge rear end in a top hat move to not get layne's input on any of this, even if albert and euphyllia are mutually incapable of coming to an agreement that doesn't put them at odds. that bothers me way more than albert's disregard for his position (given that i am not insane and think monarchy is bad)

Men would literally rather murder a girl, eat her heart to become a vampire, and fight you to the death than talk about their feelings.
