Contest of Crowns
For them, the pressure was entirely different.
A full country rooting for you versus only your family doesn't sound like they have it worse, but trust me, they do. My parents sometimes told me that they were disappointed by my decisions, like when I told them I would take a gap year rather than immediately go to school, but here things were different. Some girls wouldn't be welcome back home unless they marry the prince, or at least make connections inside the castle.
I had no idea if any of this was the case for Dominica, but I still felt bad for her. "The prince said that though you undoubtedly could make for a great queen, he doesn't feel that you would be the perfect wife for him."
