And this is all putting aside the age gap, of course. He watched her grow up and now he’s, all of sudden, romantically involved with her? That’s really fucking weird, and it’s gross. Why can’t these types of stories feature a NORMAL relationship between the MC and bodyguard/subordinate who’s looked after them since they were young? I’ll continue reading because I like seeing Estelle happy, but this relationship is still a little uncomfortable to read about, LOL.
Its only 7 years tho. Not such a big age gap... Of course it seems big when we are talking about kids but they are adults.
Also it was kind of obvious from the begining that they will be the main ship. ╮(＾▽＾)╭
Sure it was wierd to give credit to this ship back then because Emiel was 18 and Estelle was 11 - it would have been quite sick from Emiel to feel that way towards her. But we were able to see their pure feelings of care and kindness - how they were both unaware of the seeds of affection in their hearts, yet they held each other precious. And these pure feelings somehow eased the original tension in the reader. Bc we have seen that there was nothing wrong in what they did. Only later did they realise how their feelings developed to something else. ♡
The only unsettling thing here is what the princess wants to achieve and how sneaky she became and what magic did she use to get confidensial information on Estelle!!! THAT ungratefull friend-traitor is so evil and shamless to use such dirty techniques!!!
I just binged this and....what the absolute fuck? I’m not sure what upsets me more: everyone not telling Estelle anything or Emel’s actions. Why the fuck did Roy not tell Estelle about Emel being the Marquis? Is he an idiot? If they’re both partaking in high society, a meeting is inevitable. Not telling her that information was literally setting her up for failure, which it DID. His bullshit loyalty to Emel ended up harming Estelle. Furthermore, it’s so stupid how everyone doesn’t tell her anything to “protect” her. It’s counterproductive!! If she’s really a member of the Castielle household, then she has as much right as anyone else to the information that literally everyone BUT her knows. And Emel. Stupid, foolish, and frustrating Emel. As a Marquis, there’s no way he wouldn’t be aware of the rumours surrounding him and Iris. There were so many other ways to go about his relationship with Estelle, but of course, he chose the worst fucking one. I’m glad Estelle is finally putting a stop to everyone’s bullshit. And fuck that bitch Iris. And Riddle.
