Hardcore agree. I think a lot of ppl also aren't factoring in the complexity of Rupert having killed her before and her pretty much fearing he was going to do the same this entire life as well. That's a hard thing to overcome, even if you love a person.
Also, his having killed her once means that he actually has already become like his father (having killed the one he loves), he just doesn't know it yet.
So, if she does tell him, he's going to become even more broken. Imagine fearing something so much, only to find out your biggest fear has already come true and there's nothing you can do about it.
I need her to appear dead, I truly hope they fake her death as if she killed herself. I need bellua to suffer, I need them to MOURN because this is absolutely fucking disgusting. I know we’ve all said it, but this is just so fucking sad man, I know a lot of “oh just get married, easy” and i do agree it’d make things easier. Sadly these characters are so welll written and it’s not easy for them, if she marries and admits her feelings for rupert she’s betraying her family and severing a very important tie that she went back in time for. Rupert has also shown signs of fearing he’ll become his father with lalilette along with knowing about the plan to commit treason and not telling her. One could say it was a way to protect her from being hurt but realistically, it was also most likely the knowledge that even if she knew, years earlier; she’d never choose him. We saw Rupert as broken as he was for so long and now we’re finally seeing her part, I really and truly hope she grows immensely from this because honestly. If she had died and rupert wasn’t there I don’t know if i could’ve continued reading and seen the aftermath
