The novel was such a good read

Spoiler...



























Their relationship is very precious. Asher often threw me off with how he worded himself and showed how much Aria meant to him. I found it incredible how much patience and understanding both sides have for each other, especially Asher who offered his help several times but was rejected but he didn't insist on it or forced himself on her but backed off right away and was willing to understand and watch her. When he also somewhat figures out what has happened to her and that she was hiding something (her ability), he waited for her to talk about it herself without pushing her to it. He respects that she is not ready and minds his own boundary.

>>I’ll follow you no matter how much you try to get away with the hourglass. Unlike Lady Aria, I can use my powers over and over again. No matter how much time you turn back, you will never get away.<<

This was one of the few many things that he said to Aria. I also fell hard when he reassured that he wouldn't mind if she went back to the evil woman as long as he was by her side.

There's not many romantic scenes, so I firstly though the romance part was quite bland though when there were it was getting really steamy between them~~
And some hints of Asher being concerned and jeaulous that Aria had experience dealing with men.
But I noticed that in the end revenge was the main topic after all and later when it is finally done, it was to make Aria realize that now the future is more important and to figure out what unconditional love was which she had never experienced before as she finally learns of her true origin.
So being able to put a love story in there with having to mind the personalities and history of both parties would be challenging.

What I wished to see more in the webtoon would be more about Asher's past which fell with a few sentences in the novel.


So what major occurrences will be Mielle putting poison into Aria's tea and Aria pretending to have drunken it and passed out, Berry escapes but will be found and Aria gives her a fake promise of protecting her as long as she was willing to put blame onto Emma, Emma's beheading, Berry getting finished off with the evil plan of Aria's, then will be Mielle making her father disabled by pushing him down the stairs and blaming Aria and forging fake witnesses to find fault. Cain was also onto the plan because he wanted to become the head to have the final say about everything Aria related, he was tempted because Mielle gave him the idea of locking Aria in the mansion so no men could meet her. (before there's an awesome stand off between him and Asher who disliked Cain because of his lewd look towards Aria),
the Count is finally appreciating Aria and her mother as his own children failed him and wanted to finish him off,
Aria's mother secretly takes all of his property and spends it into one of Aria's business rushing to make Roscent poor,
Mielle escapes with Isis after blackmailing her with their letters to Croa and Isis believes she will marry their king Lohan but he is actually on Asher's side all along and plays with both of them,
Aria's mother and Asher get into contact with someone who knows that Aria is a descendant of Chloe (Marquess family) of the Croa kingdom,
As Isis, Mielle and Cain failed with their attempt of treason,
Isis beheading, Aria ''saves'' Mielle and Cain: Mielle will be Aria's but mainly Annie's maid and Cain will work as a pageboy
Mielle starts admiring Aria for being a saint and believes in their family ties,
Aria makes Mielle purchase a poison to give to Annie but Cain ends up drinking it and dies on the spot with disappointment and grief towards Mielle again,
Mielle gets beheaded with others believing she tried to poision Aria,
their father commits suicide learning of his children's death and the betrayal of Aria's mother who divorced him beforehand and yet gave him a promise to remarry later which was a lie obviously

Afterwards things focus more on Aria spending time with her family in Croa and learning of true love withing a family, the marriage between her and Asher (their first night hehe) and the remarriage of Aria's mother with Chloe, her real father. Sarah also finally marries and wants Aria to do the act which usually is done by a mother figure to do the final touch of putting the tiara on Sarah. In Aria's own marriage Sarah also does the final touch on Aria and Aria is able to see Sarah for someone who was like genuine only friend for her.

The epilogues focus more on how Aria fulfills her duties as the Crown Princess and the toxic issues that many mind that Annie and Jessie receibe special treatment, Aria gets into her wicked self to make the nobility shut up and making Annie and Jessie raise in ranks by letting both marry with someone influential, for Jessie she made Hans be the head of one of her facilities so he would be recognized for more than his ability.

The last chapter was bit unsatisfying as it ended with Aria saying she will deal with them (nobility who looked down on Annie) perhaps it is a fitting ending as the last part of the epilogue was titled 'A wicked woman will stay a wicked woman' so I won't complain!

All in all, I was made clear that Aria is one hell of a good villainess main character, if not the only one I will ever see in any type of revenge story!!

    Is there anything that happened with Oscar?

    Is there anything that happened with Oscar? Kuroqui

    Oscar doesn't appear that much anymore, he also stops sending anything to Aria and as soon as Mielle is seen as the evil woman, he doesn't meet her. He appears the next time when Isis wants to marry that King from another nation where he also tries to get Isis and his father to not take this path of betraying their own country.

    After he sold out Isis and his father, he is demoted to a commoner. Not much is said how he lives. After the sentence of all nobility involved in the treason, the main focus are Cain and Mielle (mainly her whose suffering is described working under Annie).

    Aria and Oscar won't meet again, only Asher faces Oscar in the cell where they made a deal that Oscar will tell the truth as long as Aria is not harmed, so yes Oscar still has feelings for Aria until the very end. Asher dislikes Oscar but fulfilled the promise and doesn't behead Oscar as he wasn't involved in the matter and Asher recognized that there was good will within Oscar (which made Asher dislike him even more as there was no reason to kill him)

    He is will be inactive and somewhat actually irrelevant, he isn't there when Mielle gets imprisoned, he is also not there as a witness of his family's and the Roscent's punishment. I assume that after he lost his title and lives as a commoner, he doesn't dare meet Aria who is the Crown Princess or is he is probably in peace knowing Aria lives well

    Samee he deserves more than more panel time also more to his own story but I also understood from reading the novel that he really doesn't have anything to offer, at least for in her view, Aria's revenge :c
