First of all no, Ian doesn't leave Raymond willingly (he's kidnapped) so......That was wrong. Well I guess not completely wrong because Ian doesn't return to Raymond until he comes looking for Ian.
The wedding doesn't actually take place or does it? I don't remember properly. I think it doesn't so that's also wrong
But Ian does become independent and Raymond sacrifices everything he has to be with Ian so I think it's okay.(Ian set Raymond straight! not literally lol)
Btw now I'm a hardcore IanXRaymond shipper I guess I wasn't before.
I've re read it like 3 or 4 times.
This manhwa was so good and really satisfying!

This is an awesome manhwa I love it can't wait to see Ian be independent and confident
The story is very interesting and kept me hooked
Currently Raymond looks extremely desperate, desperate for power, desperate to keep Ian by his side, desperate to cover shit up.
Just my theory: I want Ian and Raymond to not end up together but I think they might.
1. When Raymond betrayed Henry no one was killed except for count big nose (will be executed after the wedding so he's probably gonna cause some more trouble ) so the author didn't want to make him a murderer (I'm aware that he's a loan shark so maybe he could've possibly killed a few people) so that he could at least be a redeemedable character.
2. The author makes it so that all the power struggle, all the tricks, everything Raymond does is to keep Ian by his side. (This bitch is obsessed with my Cute and lovely Ian)
3. Raymond's tragic past.
And I think Ian is also ignorant of those who were betrayed by Raymond. He chose to stand by Raymond and not take any action other than to feel guilty and ask Raymond about them and tell him to not let them be killed and punished.........or maybe this was all he could do because he couldn't come out and reveal the truth about what Raymond did.........hmm let's see how the story plays out I'm very excited I hope both of them get an ending befitting of their deeds.....
And I think that all this cover up, struggle for power and shit is a ticking time bomb and is about to explode any moment now
Either Ian will explode or all the lies will be exposed or count big nose will cause problems.......and on the wedding day at that.
If the wedding takes place something is definitely gonna happen then!
All of this is just be predicting how things will develop from this point on.......and I think Ian will definitely go with the francis to Nersia (I forgot what the country was called)
Quite a lot of story is left I want to see Ian shine be independent and florish as I've stated before I'd be really really extremely disappointed if that doesn't happen.
What I've stated here is the obvious and what generally happens in mangas manhwa and manhua please feel free and share your opinion too I'd be happy to read it
P.s I hope the sister doesn't snitch on Ian and Raymond
Have a great day thank you stranger for reading until the end
