So it almost looks like Athy and Jennette have switched places in regards to Claude's heart. I think when Mr. White was dropping hints about how wonderful it would be to have a second daughter he just made things worse for Jennette, especially after that whole "Well then, bye Papa" scene Athy pulled. That was the moment Claude realized how precious Athy is to him and how despite his original feelings on the matter; if he was to lose her he would be right back to feeling the same kind of pain he felt when Athy's mother died only worse. Claude instantly recognized Jennette for who she was and that whole garden scene was him warning her away from trying to make a claim as a princess. At this time I feel like Jennette is in very real danger of becoming the "tragic princess" in this round of the story. Sometime in the future her life will be in danger from Claude, only this time I think Athy will have the heart and courage to nay say her father and save Jennette in the end. On the matter of Ijekiel I really do believe he has feelings for Athy and the only reason he married Jennette (who is like a LITTLE SISTER!) in the old story is because it was expected of him, both by Jennette (who probably does love him) and his father. But now that a new player has appeared who is interesting, unexpected, and unconventional he's probably smitten with Athy. As for Lucas I think he'll be the victor of Athy's heart in the end, Ijekiel is just too obvious a choice. ╮(￣▽￣)╭ I think once Jennette fully realizes that she will never achieve that idealistic family that she always dreamed of she will start to hate Athy, maybe even Claude. Also because Athy would be taking Ijekiel away from her too. With a little nudge from Mr. White and her well meaning aunt she could become a danger to Athy and try to kill her (maybe why Claude wants to execute her). Also that whole 'being born from black magic' stuff is a little too janky from me... not really feeling she's his legitimate kid. Mister Mysterious-Black-Eyed-Not-Black-Eyed-Sounds-Like-Trouble is totally Claude's older brother （￣へ￣）The conspiracy theorist in me says that he's Jennette's daddy (I mean he was sleeping with Jennette's mother) and the only reason he's appearing now and deviating from what Athy has given us of the book is because Mr. White is failing at infiltrating Jennette into Claude's heart. Where she would be his number one and inherit the kingdom ensuring it was Big Brother's blood on the throne. Not Claude's. That would also explain why Jennette's aunt (her mother's sister) felt it was needed to frame Athy for Jennett's assassination attempt in the old story. To ensure the truth was never revealed and that the actual heir was taken out. Also thinking Athy's mother was a little something more than human... just waiting for Athy to really start singing to Papaヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
