I don't think she realizes truthfully "how bad" her situation could get. she's honestly VERY LUCKY he's fallen for her. and is being nice about it. I mean truthfully (it may be taboo to talk about or even think that way) but, he CAN Get his airs without her cooperation. I know she said she would kill herself and the children but there's even ways around that. she's thinking the worst that could happen is she be killed đ but if he wasn't already falling for her and a nice guy. things could get very dark for her. THANKFULLY she just managed to luck out and actually score a good guy.
If Em is smart she would see that his proposal is her biggest revenge. SHE will be the mother of his HEIRS! Stay, raise your children, become his queen and install YOUR heirs on the thrones of both his Kingdom and Wintermere! Take both kingdoms from your womb,breach your children their Wintermere heritage so that they have a love and respect for it and want to restore it. They are the Heirs so no one can stop them.
