@Ryip I think u don't get the point. This girl for sure have "abandonment issues". It's best to push someone away before they could hurt her It's what she would have thought. And again notice how even though she have her whole family with her she still only ask for their help when it's something magic related and let's leave the emperor here. She doesn't even want to do anything with him. Also even Nasar realized his feeling after such a long time so he actually very less time to make her believe he wanted to get romantically involved with her instead of mere duty. Also the books prophecy had a great impact on her too tho I don't think it is a major reason here for Nasar's case. But just know this girl has lived her life in survival mode . Sooo all those trust issues are bound to show somewhere hence here and honestly she is giving it a thought. Let's just hope for the best for Nasar cause I love him too
