Jealous Kael is such a feast for the eyes
I think she's failing to notice because she never expects her bais to have romantic feelings to her. He's her object of worship. She believes that he's way out of her league. It's like when you like someone, you fail to notice if they like you.
But with everything and everyone else, we see how she analyzes everything. With her targets, she can easily pinpoint the type of person they are by observing. That’s why she’s crazily good at deception, because she knows how to appeal to their emotions. She has always been portrayed as sharp and cunning, we see how she schemes. Hestia is not dumb. But suddenly it all falls apart if it’s Kael. And I don’t reallly mind, it’s manhwa logic. Hestia is still one of my favorites because she’s not a damsel in distress like most isekai plots, but my opinion remains the same.
Is Hestia failing to recognize Kael's feelings lowkey getting dragged out too much? Yes. Will I continue eating this shi up because get to see jealous Kael? Yes.
