Oh fuck off.
Father doesn't get to be all doting right after it was revealed that yes, everyone in the estate knew just how much he neglected her for her entire life.
Also, can they please just already reveal just what hold the king has over her father? Prince could have killed him, Father could kill him at any moment. The only way I can see to tie all this retardation together is if Father's plan was to get the mc into the "shadow room" because whatever magic the king used on his daughter can't reach in there, then make Prince the king and then get her out of there.
