I'm confused since she is trying to find her lover no? Or was her her brother?
Unless there's a translation error, I'm pretty sure it's her lover. The hunter chat mentioned it it chap 4 or 5
If you're talking about the hunter whose lover went missing, she isn't a love interest. It's clearer in the novel, but she's basically become antisocial since losing her bf and doesn't have many ppl she can be herself with b/c of her fame/rank. She comes to view MC as a close friend b/c he treats her normally.
Spoiler:
Her lover isn't dead and they eventually reunite and iirc get married.
Ah thx man everyone was saying she's endgame and I couldn't find any spoilers so this helps a lot! I'm at peace now
I don't hate her but I do agree, romance in these kind of novels feels forced and very shallow. I get part of the fantasy is MC getting the best girl(s) but it feels like the authors have never been in a relationship tbh. Also, what's this author thinking making her have a current partner? It's distasteful.
