The Problematic Prince

Summary of the The Problematic Prince

But now... ah man. She wound up being just property to another powerful family, the Hardys apparently. And they got shafted big time by someone else selling her off like some kind of token bride for profit? It's messed up.

Erna was heading straight into that sticky situation with no control over her fate – either ending up married to a drunk or tossed aside because she was deemed replaceable, just another number in the marriage market racket they'd set up. Sounds rough.

Then, outta nowhere, this figure pops up who seems like he could change everything... someone associated with 'The Problematic Prince' thing going on apparently. He shows up when things are at their bleakest and offers a different path instead of just playing along with the selling charade. It felt almost too good to be true initially.

He basically laid it out that she wasn't really meant for this life anymore, not since her own royal past faded so fast, and maybe someone else could see potential where others only saw liabilities or items on a list like Erna was treated as by the Hardys.

Instead of just playing along with the marriage game, he throws cold water on it. He's warning her, saying no way – this approach is dangerous for her soul if she goes down that route now. It feels... real. Not some sugarcoat routine designed to manipulate feelings or buy time. This guy isn't messing around; his advice carries weight and maybe just what she needs right now.
