I would upvote this alot of times if I can. She would literally be the first one I would eliminate if Im there. I mean she is not much of a loss anyway. I cringed so much reading the first chapter and stopped reading.
only thing I can think of as far as the second prince's behaviour goes is that he seems to care for her to some extent and that's why he didn't kill her. how he noticed she wasn't actually crazy, how he didn't want to leave her alone with their father, how he came rushing immediately as the first prince was gonna kill the princess. although this is just my speculation and there are a lot of plot holes and stupid takes in this story for sure
i ended up reading spoilers since i was so frustrated, and yeah i had noticed like his expressions to her weren't psychotic like the 1st prince but i figured that he was just the stoic, inwardly suffering type or something lol.
oh dear, sorry to the people that already replied. i didn’t realise editing would delete your replies.
it just makes no sense. if the king didn’t know which of the kids would save him, he should’ve raised all of them. otherwise he could accidentally kill the one that would, re: FL's first life. on top of that, he hasn’t inspired any loyalty in his children so why would any of them even want to save him? why would they want to prove themselves to him and risk death? they should've rebelled.
and why did the goddess give the king a chance to be saved? she should’ve just let him be turned to stone, he clearly isn’t remorseful for spilling blood at the sanctuary or whatever, why does he get to live?
finally, if she acted crazy it would just mean that she’s definitely not the strongest one, therefore it’d be no loss to just kill her. the "she'll die eventually anyway" thinking should've stopped when she reached her 19th birthday. like clearly she has outlived most of her siblings. also when the 2nd prince killed the 5th (i think) and she thought he was aiming for her, why didn’t he just kill her too? i don’t get why they always put it off like dw sis, ur time is coming. what’s the point?????
this manhwa is so freaking illogical it pisses me off but hot ml hasn’t had enough screen time yet so i’ll be back ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
edit: and yes, i know that she probably is the strongest in the end, so being crazy had nothing to do with it. that’s not the point. the point is that everyone's perception of her is "this princess is off her rocker, let's kill her first to end everyone's misery since there's no way a crazy person is the strongest of all of us." a generous mixture of arrogance, hubris and common sense would lead all of her siblings to this kind of conclusion.
