OMG thank you so much for reviewing this!
I am sooooo tired of the typical "YEAH the ML was bad and killed me (and my fam) but he has tragic past and now is a real sweet, so I forgive him for killing me ONCE" blaaaaah. I was doubting to read but ur comment fix me lol
Thank you for saving my time!
I love you ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ

SPOILER side story after Empress Petronilla along with Patricia and her family execution. Do you think you still be able to forgive Lucio?
Lucio having a bloody nightmare about Petronilla almost every night, and then Duchess Efreni testified that Rosemond was the one who framed the innocent Petronilla by pretending to be pregnant and put the poison in Petronilla chambers. Lucio was disappointed in her because originally if Rosemond pregnant he could just get rid of Petronilla naturally without using underhanded method, but Rosemond gave him an excuse that she is impatient and Lucio already promised her the empress seat so she thought it doesn't matter using whatever method and ask him to save her but Lucio said 'even though he is an Emperor, he can always have his way, he can't go against the nobles' so Rosemond take off her clothes and ask him to sleep with her so she can have his baby since a woman pregnant with imperial heir can't be punished by law and he is sleep with her just like that cause no matter what she is the woman he once so deeply in love with. HA! He is much much worse than Sovieshit.

Spoiler
Lucio will apologize with all he can. he begged fl to stay with him, he told her if she wnt to hate him she can hate him by his side and if she want he won’t touch another women for the rest of his life(fl is infertile),he asked fl sister what she likes so that he can do it for her, he learned cooking so that he can cook for her (he sent her a different type of desert every day.
Ah he even accept rosemond excution with recognition of fake killer (although she should have been excused for what she has done)

I'm just saying that as a metaphor. He and Rosemond had sad past, but they can't be together because of difference in status, they think they are some kind of victim in a tragic love story, and whoever get in their way become the villain, and Petronilla was in love with Lucio and she can't hide her jealousy so. In fact, during Lucio nightmare, Petronilla ask him 'are you happy now, you regarded me as a thorn who get in your way with Rosemond, now that you get rid of me you must be very happy' and Lucio answered 'Yes, I'm very happy'.
Lucio suffered from nightmare, but when he learn the truth that Petronilla was innocent and Rosemond was the one behind everything, he didn't even get angry at her.
uh yeah I read some spoilers from the novel and I am not going to waste my time reading this.-. Typical Mc who acts kinda badass but then falls for the douche ML who treats her like shit but oh he’s pitiful, has a sad past, is handsome, and then starts acting sweet afterwards so of course I’ll forgive him._. Idk how he shows his remorse but I’m betting it was a shitty attempt that was probably only “I’m sorry boohoo look at my sad face I love you” or whatever, I’m not going to put myself through that stress.-. If he actually repented with actual suffering on his part and ACTUALLY APOLOGIZED (cus literally no shitty ml’s ever apologize in manhwas like ever, I’ve only seen a few) then ok maybe.-. Maybe I’m being judgemental but idc, if someone’s finished the novel then please tell me if he repents well cus otherwise I’m sticking with my decision.-.
