spoil me about it
SPOILLL
-Trying to gaslight/manipulate the hell out of Michelle about their marriage because Michelle is confused and hesitating about it since Ain disguised himself as a servant.
-He had been feeding Michelle sedatives for the ENTIRE month they had been staying at Sherleg Mansion.
-He made his servants report everything about Michelle's activities. In short "stalker'.
-When he was planning to visit Michelle, he told his head maid to increase the dosage of the sedatives since Michelle might have developed a tolerance.
-Noncon Michelle while he was sleeping. Touched him and gave him bj.
He is actually manipulative even towards his own sister. Personally, he gives some sociopath vibes.
Thank you for the spoilers! Oddly enough, I suspected that Michelle was being given sedatives after he commented he was feeling really sleepy/sleeping a lot and Ain's explanation as to why Michelle was sleeping so much made no sense at all. I didn't start reading until the chapter they slept together the first time, but the whole thing felt rather manipulative, predatory-like sort of vibe, which doesn't help that Michelle looks and acts young, naive, and seems rather innocent - no idea how old he is or the age gap between them - compared to Ain. I'm not sure exactly why Ain is doing this though, but I can see it as being a test or grooming Michelle to mold him into the husband he hopes to be with, if he even wants a husband in the first place outside the potential political gain he may receive and any other bonuses that might come with it.
Novel translator, Orcinus, said Michelle's age will never be revealed but he was somewhere in between 20-21 while Ain is 30+
Ain/Ian in the novel is such a huge red flag
