| Sharon seems like one of those characters where you really don't know what to expect coming from her. Episode is fine but I really hope Elianna and Christopher can have a balanced relationship despite some of the daily obstacles. That's just part of life though I guess. |
 |
| Dude, what's with this drama, good lord. Now, the true joke in itself would be not to mention this Alan guy for the duration of the whole series, but damn, poor dude getting ignored all the time xD. Also, prince dude, you ask why you see so less of your fiance, I dont know ... maybe don't let her run ALL THE ERRANDS IN THE PALACE NEXT TIME. |
 |
| Eh, it's just sad how that potential harem situation is making Elianna suffer like that... |
 |
| Well at least Elli's aids bring her up to speed. Let's throw Sharon from the highest window of the palace. Anna and Alfred works well a lot, both know a lot. That end scene made look like Chris is abusive, and that would open more space for gossip. |
 |
| I want to know more about Elen as well as the other tall woman Elianna was talking to More doubts and insecurities are piling up onto Elianna |
My thoughts to the letter. I'm sitting here wringing my hands and fretting, it's ridiculous, and gets a thumbs up for the drama alone. |
| Eli: I need to talk to Prince directly. Also Eli: Let's postpone the wedding. Like, why? Come on, you were already there with Chris willing to listen... I was so glad she wanted to talk directly and avoid misunderstandings, but now this seems to become even worse and nothing is resolved. |
  |
| When she barged into the room I legit thought she'd yell "Y'all boys get out! I need to talk to the Prince!!!" but instead said something so ridiculous like postponing the wedding! She has no idea how painstaking task a wedding preparation can be, just coz she's not the one organizing it. GEEZ what's wrong with her.. VenomEmperor said: I know Sharon is just a kid but she needs a bitch slap and a yeeting out the window by Eliana. What the hell kind of person just tells someone to break off their marriage because of some folk tale? The last scene annoyed me a lot. Eliana just goes like let's postpone the wedding, whoops sorry I don't think I meant to say that, refuses to elaborate, leaves, Chris chases her and tries to ask what's going on, then somehow he's being gaslighted like he's the asshole and abuser in this situation. She's the one that's too wussy and wimpy to go discuss this and ask him about it yet somehow he's the bad guy here. AMEN. |
| first episode i dint like btw this is happening the last couple episodes but this1 made me realize... even if u are reading books, it doesnt make u smart Eli: lets postpone the wedding ~leaves~.... HELLO????? how bout u explain to him? then Eli: can u give me some time to think? | Chris: ok ~leaves~..... HELLO AGAIN??? i would be like "that thing u asked me, no until u explain" both of them are .... also that kid, whatever she said was wrong 1) why chris dint marry whats her name if he was in love with her, actually stupid kid 2) Eli, u are a burden to the prince... dude, he literally told her 5 secs ago that he wanted to see her more, why she got sad from that. 3) thats how the story goes.... B**** its a story cose it isnt reality, freaking delusional kid. 4) Eli has been living with the prince, how the fk does the kid knows what the prince wants? i lost brain cells from this episode |
 |
| Cutest shit is seeing Chris just fawn over Eli honestly lol. Uh oh some trouble in paradise though. Eli wants to call the wedding off, but I’m not understanding why Eli would let a stranger basically talk her out of marrying the man of her dreams because of a damn folktale. Why not just talk to Chris about it? |
 |
| Of course Chris doting on Elianna is always so sweet, I'm glad we got a little moment between them- even if their kiss was interrupted, again. But otherwise, for the first time this season, I have really mixed feelings about this episode. There was finally some drama between them introduced (which I was hoping for), but we're on episode 10 out of 12, so I'm assuming it'll get wrapped up either next episode, or for the finale episode. Which... I don't know... might make it come across as really shallow, in my opinion. And like a lot of people have said, the way characters were acting this episode really annoyed me. Sharon messing with Eli's insecurities through a folk tale? Calling her a "burden to the prince"? Convincing her to break off her marriage? Which somehow works even though just a little before that, Chris was gushing about how he needs more of her in her life, and explicitly told her they'll spend some time together as soon as he's free? And then Eli tells Chris she wants to postpone the wedding, offers no explanation, and leaves. While Chris (understandably) tries to talk with her and is completely shut down. There's like, a recurring theme through all of the drama this episode, and it's that things could be solved (or at the very least, clarified-) if Eli and Chris just talked to each other. I can kind of understand being in your feelings and just not wanting to talk things out until you calm down (been there lol), but the feelings of the characters just don't add up here, and it made this drama annoying to me, rather than the catalyst to push their relationship forward, like I hoped it would be. It's just frustrating that Eli is so convinced by hearing about things secondhand, instead of believing in the physical evidence that is right in front of her. I mean, again, I get emotional really easily, so I kind of get it... but girl... Chris is right there telling you how much he cares for you- if you told him about your insecurities and opened up, we have 10 episodes of evidence that he'd be so quick to sweep your worries away and affirm your place in his life. I didn't expect to rant about this show today, but I just needed to get that out, apparently~ |
 I'm okay now... At least... I want to be able to say that. ✧✧✧✧✧✧ profile ✧ watching ✧ reading ✧ art credit |
| Convincing Elianna with a folk tale actually sounds to be what convinced her to act like what she's doing right now. especially if it's from a book. at least that's how I see it. I think that so far, Elianna has only showed courage and wisdom in the name of her books and stories, but this time around, the fulfillment of the story and its parallel towards their situation is what's hindering her. This can be a worthy challenge that she must overcome as a character, since life is not all about books and stories. Sadly, how the show portrayed it out doesn't obviously imply any of those and I could just be seeing patterns here. If so, then the drama sucks for focusing on her insecurity and being unassertive. This show is about a book nerd and it still better be around that in this final arc. |
| Wow, there is just so much pressure with everything happening at the palace. To be honest, Eli taking a step back seems like the right thing to do right now. Sometimes taking a break is good. Hopefully she will figure out how to proceed with the Holy Night Banquet looming. |
 "to the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world." -a magnet |
| the knight looks cool, can we just ... pull an Aileen and steal her away Dang so close to a kiss... This... slow burn hurt less in the manga "You're as slow as you look" pigtail, dem be fighting words ALFRED YOU GOAT.. I hope they can become a ship. Anggy Christopher ...respect for the Prince respecting her boundaries, but also split dillemma/fight me for leaving before clearing up the miscommunication |
| As expected, Sharon was behaving like a typical b***h! Wow, Alfred confessed to Anna. Damn, Elianna asked to postpone the wedding. Poor Elianna is still insecure about her status in Chris’ mind. |
 |
| Elianna is dumb af, I know 1 or 2 persons like that, having a lot of knowlegde but being stupids to the next level |

| Shortage of workers? jeez, there are all these overdressed women waltzing around giggling and gossiping. Let them do some work for a change! The machinations and backstabbing going on in that court is horrible. Why is the queen not stamping on it? and its about time Eli started calling some shots instead of playing delivery person and being the target for every Tomasina, Dickette and Henrietta with an axe to grind. |
| May the Uguu be with you. |
| I was annoyed when Eli couldn't say anything back to Sharon but I realized that she was overwhelmed with all the pressure that came from many people.. I had expected that Eli might return to her house, but I didn't expect her to say that to Chris T---T uuughh please why are there so many bugs trying to interfere with their relationship?! I feel that Eli knows that Chris likes her a lot but in her mind it's not impossible that Chris might take Lady Mireille as a concubine because of the benefits for both countries, the society and also not to mention negative words from Sharon about "Elianna just needs to read books" (related to her insecurities that she is just a "Bibliophile Princess" who doesn't know the world apart from books). I just hope that Eli can clear her mind and have deeper trust and faith in Chris, Chris can also give a clear statement to Elianna about his future plans, and then the two of them can talk about this calmly and clearly. Oh and I hope Sharon can learn a lesson by either being slapped or kicked or even pushed through a window :) |
 |
| thee fuck wrong with this heroine !! so cringe and fragile , i kinda hate her a bit !! sad for the prince why you choose this pathetic woman !! |
| Goodness, Elianna is way too fucking sensitive. It's just your average brat spouting complete nonsense. |
 |
| This show has really took a nosedive. The first 4-5 episodes were really good. But now there are too many names, characters and plot lines going on where I am so lost. Now we have the only good part of the show crumbling which is the romance. It should be so obvious to her that Christopher only likes Eli. But nope, I’ve seen water stand up more for itself than her. I really wanted Eli to clap back at the child, but nope. 2/5 episode |

| The conversation outside the ball has frazzled Elianna's mind about Christopher's private dealings, and all she's good for is being bellgirl within the Sauslind Kingdom's walls for a shortage of workers. The prior-engaged Mireille before the bibliophile princess herself, and that seems like a worrying thing on her mind when she has to get involved in Christopher's political affairs. Alan is still a nice background character, his presence is always unhinged comedy that never fails to make me chuckle. Regardless, it's clear that politics are slowly creeping into Elianna's life when the Prince is out, and her dealings in prior episodes felt like a fluke when compared to Christopher picking up the slack, from possibly having concubines for the throne to hidden troubles impending. It's obscenely clear that Christopher only has eyes for Eli, and their flirting only distracts both Glen and Alec in their pursuit to find out what's going on. The conversation between Sharon and Elianna, it's very obvious that the latter isn't even considered worthy of the position of a princess, and the vehement relentless to pair both Christopher and Mireille is so straightforward that Elianna is a burden to Christopher. The thing is, Elianna is so preoccupied in her bookworm behavior, time passed essentially so long that it's arduous that the only outcome from this...is to postpone their wedding and run away from her lifelong issue that would torment her for the rest of her life. This is in stark contrast to her courage of standing up for Christopher when he was gone in prior episodes. Prince Christopher cares about Eli...but it definitely feels like both of their affection has hit a snag, a roadblock. Yuri_Niji said: Pretty much agree, it got lost after about 1/3rd of the way, and at least the episodes after that were tolerable, but this episode broke me as well.This show has really took a nosedive.

| eli really needs to stop believing what these strangers say and just Talk to chris. he's made it clear so many times that he's in love with her and he's constantly showing it through his words and actions too. i really hope eli will finally sit down and have an actual conversation with chris about everything she's feeling. communication is always the most important thing in a relationship |
| My 2023 candies: |
| tf is that lil kid spewing? someone shut her up. it seems like the more time is passing, eli is having harder time to trust and know what chris would want. she's still insecure even after chris has clearly showcased how much he loves her several times. from what we have seen till now i've come to the conclusion that chris only has eyes for eli and he won't take any concubines. seriously eli needs to start spending way more time with chris, it's infuriating to see how little she trusts in his love for her. hopefully they talk it through the next day. |

 |

 |
