@Pebble In my opinion, the prince just wanted to let his fiancée know that he has a new friend who is around their age. She and him also has their circle of friends, so the prince probably wants her to accept this new friend as well. Also, why is the female lead taking out her anger on the guest? If there’s someone at fault for the kidnapping, it’s the old nobles’ faction, not the new nobles and she knows that. The female lead should also try to build an alliance with the new nobles, since they could become her allies when she becomes empress.
