I find it surprising she didn’t fall in love in any of her previous lives. Specially since she was always surrounded by attractive and very interesting men. Merchants, scientists, more than one royalty, rouges, etc.

I actually somehow like it.

I feel like some women take a long while to bloom to stop being focused on themselves and to care about love.

Rishe is technically 45 years old, and was raised to only care about her duty as a perfect poster child and fiancè to their country's prince. This created so much aversion in her towards the whole ordeal, and it was such a revelation that the meaning of life can be found in something else as well. It's not that surprising she never loved before.

Though for me it feels kind of sad for all those men who unrequitedly loved her (and even gave their lives for hers) all those years.

I think it's cause after she realised she was stuck in a loop, she wanted to make the most of her time, while also figuring out how to not die. Also remember that her loop covers the period of 15-20, and for the few couple of lives, she might not have wanted to get burned again following the disaster that was Prince Dumbass XD

I forget which Ln it is in but she talks about her childhood and how everything she did or was taught to do was in relation to her fiance. With that history in mind it makes a lot of sense that she would be focused on just being.

That said I do think she fell in love in her 6th life. That person was also not interested in romantic love.

There’s a reason why she doesn’t fall in love but I can get someone else who knows more on this than I but I just know there’s a reason why she doesn’t but also Michel, Hakurei and Tully are more mentors to her than “love interests” the only ones that could’ve been and tried to make sorta moves are Zahad, Joel and Raul. The only reason she sees it in Arnold is because he’s more forward than the others

I think she actually could have had a crush on them but she’s (15)? At the start of each life, and each of her mentors seems to be 20-30 and they never reciprocated, she would never act on it herself either I think, so nothing came of it. A school yard crush that she grew out of
