she asks the prince to fake-date her so she can avoid being forcibly engaged to the prince by her father. while her father is trying to get her to break up with the prince because he's the last man in the world he'd want to date his precious daughter. which the daughter understands as trying to break them up so he can get her engaged to the prince. lol. and the only one who knows what's happening is the prince and he's both a bastard and a troll so he doesn't try to explain xD
