Talk:King "Liam" Rys/@comment-34235687-20190622091317/@comment-1140743-20200817224748

How I play and interpret the book is that MC and Liam had a connection, MC chose to explore that connection when given a once in a lifetime opportunity. The MC is always fond of Liam, but if she romances someone else then she simply falls out of love with Liam, or rather, grows more fond of her new LI. While Liam's feelings grow stronger regardless, which is reasonable given the only reason you're there is to marry him and have kids.

I think this is the best interpretation of the book. I don't think it's reasonable to assume the MC has and never had any romantic feelings for Liam because she doesn't find him overbearing or presumptuous. Also, the book would be super weird if that were the case.
