I told you we should've tried again. This angle is totally off. Are we in elementary school? We look like toddlers smooching.

What actually makes me laugh the most about the "fake-dating" trope (and mind you, I LOVE IT) is the fact that the people in it are only lying to themselves, and more often than not, one of them already has some amount of feelings for the other. There is no fake dating, my friends, not when you are actually going on dates, calling each other randomly and kissing while having romantic rendezvous for the press. Or asking someone to move in with you because you're worried about their safety.

And not a word of that was a lie.

For example, the Prince. I do not think he's felt undying love for her since high school, but I do think she caught his interest and that's largely remained unresolved over the years, until now. I mean, she's not ugly and she's fun and unpredictable, and that has to amuse the High Prince who's been following boring-filled protocol his whole life. He longs for spontaneity.

I think she has had some level of obsession with him. Not romantically, of course, but here is a guy who handed her a win that she had been busting her ass off to get. She did not need him to lose, knows that he did anyway, for whatever reason and has been pissed ever since, because she has worked hard for every single one of her wins. This is why her mind immediately went to the Royal Family, and him specifically, when she started thinking about marrying up, just to finally look down on the people who have done that to her for years.

i think he does!

you can now have a long life with her. be happy together. with a lot of smiles.
