I always thought that the smile Kenneth wore is because FINALLY a female considers him as only a friend, and not just that, Latte has been so considerate of him so as to clarify that she only ever considers Kenneth as a friend and nothing more. Additionaly, I was thinking he was probably inwardly happy that someone he considers as a friend is happy. Kenneth is so soft for Latte mah heart

I agree with this... You will understand his distaste wirh woman because they wanna have him for themselves..
Latte's different approach made him realized that not all women are thirsty and because of Latte's help and attitude towards him. He felt like he could trust her and yup... Saying that he is a friend will definitely put a smile on Kenneth's face because... A woman just wanted to be friends with him and he could confide in Latte

Yes!!! Kenneth really vibes with how Latte acknowledges that he IS really handsome but that doesn't mean she'll lose her mind because of it. And the quiet understanding Latte has of his situation really helps. Like, Kenneth didn't even explain the entire situation when he went to Latte's house and he immediately trusted that Latte knew what he was talking about and yes, what Latte said makes sense. Granted, Latte HAS the advantage of being an transmigrator with knowledge about them but that doesn't mean anything. Latte's character just really meshes with Kenneth and mah heart is so soft
So here’s a spoiler for you gals and gents:

Arwin finds out that Peridot was behind the many, many, MANY, trying to kill Latte attempts (the super shiny and buff bald guys, and the beast) and he deals with her (she’s trapped in this never ending hallucination cycle and eventually dies) and her powerful family; Marquis Garnett is sentenced for treason and other charges and falls out of good graces with the rest of the nobility. Arwin confesses his feelings for Latte and surprisingly, Latte is over the moon! (Who wouldn’t!) In other manwhas, the MC who was reincarnated as a side character or a villain wouldn’t mess with the plot of the story and push the ML to fall for the “heroine” because that’s the plot, so I’m happy Latte is having her cute diva moment. Kenneth drops by her house and he confesses to her that he doesn’t like Ibelin anymore and he didn’t understand why he was attracted to her in the first place. Latte becomes his therapist as he’s venting to her and Latte is like “Yeah dude, you do what you want. You don’t gotta like her”. Latte drops her doll and Arwin appears and Kenneth is like “Y’all a thing?” Arwin places his hand on her shoulder and is staring down poor Kenneth. Latte barges in saying “Arwin, he’s my suitor/crush! And Kenneth is my friend!” So she’s declared it for Kenneth who dismisses himself and smiles. (His smile is sooo cute and I think he’s smiling because he’s an ArwinxLatte shipper lol). Can’t wait for the next chapter but I have an inkling that word will spread of Latte’s newfound relationship and Ibelin will find out.
