Why did you quit? According to the answer it would be a yes or a no. But the story is only started.
yeah he is around 17-18 now. and she is no longer a maid. He meets the ho princess again and when she tries to play victim to gain his favor against the empire (the same one she becomes loveydovey with in the novel). Remembering how he treated her, he is like "bye bitch". And she is shook.
The prince that originally got the princess in the novel, shows up and he is a player and a massive dick. Even the FL is like "so the duke got sidelined for him?".
He is jealous of the fact the maid rejects him since she is attached to someone else and steals her necklace that the duke gave her.
The head maid tries to kick our girl out, but when discovered the duke puts his foot down. they live temporary apart for awhile on condition liliana is her bodyguard and she is preparing to be the duchess (they are kinda engaged now).
Right now they are at the imperial palace as guests, the fickle ho princess is there but they haven't met her again yet but probs will soon.
Oh wow that’s a lot to unpack
Yup - I'd dropped it too around then - it just seemed too dark and unpleasant. But for some reason I started reading it again and it's good til now -- but there are still dark omens ahead :(
*How she treated him as a child
So I dropped this around chapter 30 and now that it has 60 chapters... can someone spoil me to see if I should pick this up again?
