And did he actually use Florian's name? or is this another oversight?

is this a mistake by the author or did Leila actually call out his real name?

Not saying that she should or shouldn't be considered. Just that, if the author wants to go in that direction, it's doable.

Honestly, none of the female characters we've seen so far are ready for the FL role...any one of them could be a FL...It could be Juli with an enemies to lovers trope (or a dark Stockholm Syndrom one), it could be Lily with an angst- hurt/comfort trope, it could be Vereshia with a rivals to lovers?/ power couple trope, heck it could even be princess Alice with a proper redemption arc...or an entirely other Fl... Don't worry author, it'll work itself out 💪💪 (just don't make this a harem lol)

Why are we all gloating??? (I am too)....

Don't lose heart Juli....Stockholm Syndrom may still kick in one day....

An ironic thing to say knowing her "opinion" on slavery. She's also a hypocrite, just like Lily.....

Worst case scenario, if the king deems the issue unworthy of wasting his own attention on it because he has bigger problems to deal with, then he should at least delegate the task to someone who can handle it. Someone good enough to find some kind of solution and report on the progress.
