I feel like I'm the only one that doesn't want her to end up with sir leon... I mean why n...

You're not alone. The age difference makes me cringe. When she gets older, it might get slightly better but right now, it's pretty hard to read.

yeah it seems like she hasn't physically aged at all since the beginning of this manga. also it would be mad wierd for someone his age to be pining after a literal child regardless of how mentally mature she is. his dark characteristic would be... dare I say it... pedophilia *vomit*

Like I said, story hasn’t even moved yet. You’re probably at like 5% of the whole story. The Leon stuff happens AFTER she grows up and her dad wants to marry her off to a political marriage But she’s like no, I’ll marry someone of my own choice and earns that right with accomplishments and such.

i don't like leon because i think he's boring @_@

He still met her when she was a child. If you meet someone when they are a child and you are an adult, don’t marry them.

I’m also with you. Even if Rosemary’s mental age is closer to Leon’s, their physical age difference is just make Leon seems like pedophile.

Doesn’t mean I agree with Lutz as her ML though. Her mental age make it hard for me to ship her with Lutz, even though they’re physically closer in age. This make Rosemary like the pedophile one.

Can’t consider the romance yet, as Rosemary is still a child. At least wait until all characters physically and mentally adult first, then that’s the time we’re going to (shipping) war.

That's why I said it might get easier to read when they get older. Not quite sure what you're talking about in the second sentence though.

I mean if you met and knew someone when they were a child and you are an adult, marrying them even when they become an adult is hella creepy.

That's true. We don't know how old Leon is though, so that's what I'm trying to find out at the moment.

How’s that even matter when they’ll all grow up? She’s just a kid to him right now. I mean spoiling it a little, her dad the king was thinking to marry her off in political marriage which could involve some old geezer if she didn’t step in to stop that. Plus during those times, marriages with older men are normal? When she’s 20, he’ll be 30ish, when she’s 30, she’ll be 40ish, so hows that matter?

Because he met her and will continue to get to know her when she’s five.

She’s 10 and a half, and he’ll see her as a kid first. Then a few yrs will pass, transforms to marriage age, and he still sees her as a kid? Tho she be changing things cos she then racks up a lot of accomplishments and country recognizes her as a powerful crown princess so I don’t get your point.

Even if it was normal at that time, it's considered highly concerning when something like that happens today. The reason why its odd is because it isn't socially excepted in the time that we're reading this today.

Even if he acknowledges she grew up, he met her when she was a kid. That is creepy. If they met when she was twenty and she was thirty, that’s one thing, but this is some disgusting Woody Allen level shit.

But you’re reading a work that’s based on olden times, and you can’t impose modern ethics to it? Why would it be odd when political arranged marriages happen all the time during the past, when ppl marry for titles and strengthen familial power, especially in royalty?

And besides, Leon still sees her as a kid even now, when people alrdy recognize her strengths to govern political issues? Why mention abt Leon pining after a child when he’s done nothing like that at all, and it was the princess who loves him not the other way round?

I guess it’s due to reader preferences. I personally think it’s ok, cos he was gonna reject her later anyway. I mean right now, in webnovel, there’s STILL nothing happening even though she’s all older now and the way she thinks is maturing and all. If you don’t like the setup best to just drop the manga cos it’s a slowwww burn lol. Cheers!

I did, but it’s still gross and creepy and the “it was normal back then” argument doesn’t work because it’s not an actual historical manga.

It does, because the ENTIRE political marriage problem is exactly what she set off to gain control over. Her dad was gonna marry her off to strengthen country ties if she didn’t achieve her own merits, whether it’s an old fart or a young prince, he doesn’t care. The entire webnovel is set up as such, and reason why nobody even bats an eyelid when they notice her feeling for Leon, an older man.

Eh, still absolutely disgusting copout from the author.

Lol, tbh ure not really missing much, there’s tons of other reincarnated villainess works out there n I get why you dropped it. I’m staying coz I like the princess x knight theme and you gotta hand it to the girl, she knows what she wants and she’s got a one track mind.
