It ain't that serious
I wish I could write like you
The proxy and the FL got both the permission of the duke to meet each other. They also do it in the night since her parents can’t know about it.
I do agree that the FL kinda loves the proxy on her on way. He was the first person that helped her, listened to her and he was the one that kinda married her. She probably likes him more than a friend, but i think that she still thinks of him as the duke. In her mind the duke = the proxy since she never met him. He is also the person that share the word of the duke w her.
But idk in which ch but she read a letter of the duke and she was blushing. She told the proxy and the other dude that it’s something between the married couple, so she puts a line between them in some way. I also think that she didn’t think much about him seeing her in her night clothes cause she was always seen as some sort of sex object. Her uncle and her past two other husband saw her already with those clothes so i think that she just doesn’t mind it anymore (if it makes sense) btw srry for my english I hope that my text makes sense, this is how i interpreted the story so correct me if i’m wrong
I know it's not that deep, I will look at it this way. Since of course we have seen some or little bits and pieces of her past and we see that she was basically treated like trash, her attire would be just be like a slip-on dress or something. My thoughts are that she may have gotten used to looking like that or wearing such inappropriate attire with a man present due to this reason. I could be wrong, who knows? But what I do know is that her clothing at that moment didn't seem to make much of a difference to her even if he's acting as her "husband's" proxy. Old habits die hard. Sure they both got bashful but she just brushed it off and it may seem like it's not that big of a deal when in fact, it could be on his behalf. I totally understand where you're coming from third party pov and yeah it can be seen that way as it feels like she's cheating regardless if it was her husband's stand-in or not. I'm just saying that's she's just used to it and doesn't really care, plus she's in her own room and whether he shows up or not doesn't throw much food for thought. She could've at least thrown on a simple dress for formalities but perhaps she may not see him as much of a man as she is wedded and it's his boss(obviously it's him but she doesn't know that yet).
Feel free to disagree, this is just my thoughts and opnion on that scene. Also, this is manhwa logic, doesn't give a crap whereas irl everything's a big deal and it's understandable
I suspect it might also be more of a cultural thing of that during time periods where servants were considered the 'hands and feet' of nobles, allowing a servant to see you in various states of undress would be considered more 'normal' since a servant is more often treated as a tool than a person, although that doesn't apply to our fl very much. The other points made about her suffering abuse at the hands of her husbands in her previous life and it affecting her actions is also very popular.
I get that mc and proxy ml was getting close coz they spend long time with each other but that balcony scene (@29) where proxy ml pop out of nowhere when fl wanting for the proxy ml to meet her at night while wearing a bathroom gown and bath towel at head which is probably fresh from taking a shower coz there's a weird water drop on her hair. gahd.
she did not even cover herself knowing she's just finished taking a bath awhile ago and not wear a sleepwear clothes yet after seeing him is such a weird and turn off scene. it's lowkey cheating vibes for me. that's not a normal scene. proxy guy is known to her as husband person. she didn't know that proxy ml is her husband.
she's not being conservative there far from the time setting of the story and the usual reaction of girls when a guy seen them on thin or nightwear clothes where boobs line can be seen like getting flushed and find some clothes to wear a decent clothes before talking again and yet she didn't flinch or get flush and she just okay to be seen like that still talk like her clothes at the moment is a decent one. yes it decent when your alone but at night and with a guy. that's a no unless it's your husband but on her pov. proxy ml is not her husband but husband personel staff.
we know as a reader that proxy ml is her husband. for fl, he's the proxy of her husband in the wedding. she still interacting with him because of him being the husband personal staff sent by her husband but their interaction are sometimes not normal. she's married but you'll see her wanting and having a visitor at night with this proxy guy and can be seen of 29.. the ambiance and clothes wear of her is not normal. which is look more than a friendship lmao. it's like having a third party but because we know that proxy ml is her husband, we just don't care and find their interaction okay. lol
if thinking this in other pov and he's not the undercover ml persona like being another person guy. this giving me off a cheating scenario. their friendship and meeting at night is already so sus especially the fl is a married person. it's not in line of conservatives relationship. so dropped this for now until fl knows that guy is her husband. I feel like I'm reading a cheating story the way the proxy and fl interact with each other while mc still don't know that's her husband she was interacting with.
If ml is not the proxy. she can be close and have a friendship with the proxy but still draw a line. but here nah. they are more like more than a friendship when he's just a proxy in name.
damn that scenarios at 29 give me a bit of stress. lmao oh well.. it just a fiction. so. outta here now
