The ML literally has no choice in this, she is forcing an engagement upon him he already refused once, but can't again without consequences as she is a foreign Princess. He does not want her there, and has pointed it out in rather obvious means yet instead in her delusion she thinks it's his hidden caring side showing through. She's literally a stalker who insists the guy cares for her just he is too scared to show it, but oh with the right push he'll finally reveal his emotions. I wanted to read this, but as it goes on I can't agree with the fl's actions at all. It's not cute, it's arrogant, stalkerish and behaviour that should never be encouraged.
