Elena is just so self assured and emotionally mature. She has had to deal with life and death so much that it's like all these people are children with their petty concerns for all these material possessions. She knows material posessions are important for living, just that they are only that, items that you use to survive, not things to put above people, who do feel hurt when you abuse them.
Duke you expected too bully a lady, but you found out you are just a spoiled child who always has to get their way. Even your own sons and daughter are more emotionally mature than you
Read Cursed Princess Club, it's finished and fantastic.
