but fr tho, both of em are fucked, hope they'll get better in the future, together or not. after all of that, they kinda deserve some kind of therapy （￣へ￣）
You ate down girl most valid statement I’ve seen in these fuck ahh comment sections
i don't get how y'all saying she's stupid for not running away or stepping up. don't u guys get it? she can't– even if she wanted to, etienne is a duke from district one. who knows what can he do to sioanna and her nephew. plus, where else would she go? she got no money, her nephew is sickly and her personal maid is already old and helped so much despite her not being a noble anymore. she's of a noble before she's of a commoner, abiding to etienne's wish to become his mistress, although she didn't want to, is the better and easier choice she could've choose than whatever etienne could've done had she not comply to him. in a word, it's dangerous, risky.
and to those who said to use etienne feelings as her leverage in the relationship, i doubt things are that simple. with their dispute in the past and how etienne treats sioanna now, the power shift, sioanna clearly doesn't have anything to power against etienne. plus, she got a kid (her nephew) now, a responsibility. she can't act like how she did in the past, being careless. and also, in term of power imbalance, it'd be more frowned upon had sioanna eloped with him, rather than him making her his mistress. sometimes you guys forgot the time and background these manhwa based on. oh and also y'all bitch about how sioanna is all bishy blushy with etienne while asking her to act up and ask where her freaky personality goes; girl.. that's the freaky part, to still have feelings for etienne despite all. and what, do you really expect her to become so cold and have zero feelings towards the guy she used to fancy?
communicate? she voiced her feelings about not wanting to be the mistress nor getting back together but clearly, there's no communicating with a man that's as insane as etienne. at this point, she was just caught in a crossfire between etienne and his mother conflict with no means of getting away.
tl;dr, stop blaming all problem on "lack of communication". sometimes–most of the time even in these kind of manhwa, there are times where communication is impossible when the other person is not right in their fucking mind. just too fucking obsessive, and because they just can. have all the authority and power, because they're "above the law"
