Okay, so Lilian... she's a brat. As @
Magicat said, she's selfish and cowardly. As a modern woman, I can relate to her wish that she wants to marry for love. And she truly seems worried for Athanasia - but she doesn't even think, for one millisecond that the situation her sister (Athanasia) is put in, is directly her own (Liliana's) fault.
And then she goes and only says to her friends (?) to quiet down, but doesn't actually defend Athanasia. No wonder such nasty rumours go around, when even her family doesn't do anything to defend her honour.
Ah, that comment about dresses cracked me up! I mean, aren't you doing the same thing, purple lady? I bet commoners wouldn't wear clothes like yours. And did they forget Athanasia is a duke's daughter? OFC that's a different league all together.
Grand duke Winter... Wintersomething looks OK at first glance. He seems like a person who decides on his own, rather than blindly listening to rumours. Give him some cookies.
Anyway, I can't wait to see how the two interacts! I hope they can find some mutual grounds and understanding - and hopefully, more later on
