I’m just frustrated she’s stuck to one setting with “ML candidates” who are either her adopted brothers (no) or the original’s bestie who’s either been friend-zoned or who friend-zoned her. With how many leads were in the teaser, she should have at least come across more by now since it’s been a while
Wow he did not hesitate putting on that choker (collar), right in front of everyone’s salad.

The epilogue chapter in which he’s the ML is the kinkiest and most *rated* so it checks.
So, the whole novel is translated on Readhive but
.

It includes feet kissing, general worship for his master, and, 2 new collars (a fancy one and then one consisting only of bite marks and bruises). He contracts a demon curse that can only be cured if she f*cks him (wearing/using kinky god items for effect). It’s not explicit but pretty obvious. She realizes she likes him and his pretty face and is into the dom/sub thing and they do it again later without the pretext. From what I remember, this is the only side story where she sleeps with someone or gets engaged.
It’s absolutely sus but at least the author based it on a similar demonic curse in the series, so it’s not totally out of nowhere. She even has to ask Diego how to get rid of it—ofc she says it’s Daisy who is cursed to actually get an answer. He says it can only be transferred via pleasure etc and tells her to find someone Daisy loves like that and gives her a pill to induce consciousness. FL doesn’t get cursed because she has magic curse-breaking heels (to step on him with etc.) Reihaus thinks it a dream after, panics when he wakes up and finds his collar is missing, only to see his new one of bite marks in the mirror and realize he wasn’t dreaming
What I don’t get is why the red-head is still giving 2nd ML vibes when he should be at the centre of her revenge for having done most of the damage. Forget her sister, she didn’t have mind-control powers, that man had her eating out of the palm of his hand all the while abusing her of his own will. He’s still a terrible person in this life too, especially to women. Is the price of that revenge too high? Aiding Alonzo in becoming king might circumvent the terrible price but it feels more like a form of atonement for her past deeds than revenge. We have him spinning her around on the dance for acting like a jealous lover, almost a ML competitor. Yes, he turned away her sister but so what? He hasn’t done enough to show he even deserves her mercy. To be clear, it’s not the fact that she hasn’t gotten revenge yet that bugs me, I’m more bothered by the way he’s being treated. The story set him up as this disgusting asshole, why are we backtracking? I stayed for the revenge, now that the sister is sort of irrelevant, are we going to get it? (I’m just venting but spoilers are welcome!!)
My theory for the ending:
.
.
.
.

First of all Yona has the dragon sword at the beginning of 257 and in chapter 1 and I believe she must be the one to wield it. I think the story ends with the soul of the red dragon, Yona, sending all of the dragons back to the heavens, ushering in a “new dawn”. As Soowon said, Kouka no longer needs the dragons, and dragons aren’t meant to be bound like this. Humans cannot contain the sheer power of the dragons for long. Zeno’s particular power affects his constitution, meaning his body can withstand living with the soul of a dragon, but he’s cursed with the eternal life of a dragon because of it. Also, King Hiryuu’s human body could not handle the powers of a dragon, meaning he was fated to die young, like the others. Yona doesn’t share this blood, she houses his soul. Soowon, however, does possess the blood of the red dragon and likewise has the power of exceptional leadership skills (like Yona). But, because of that blood, he too is fated to die young—it’s the power of the dragon passed on by blood, not migration between vessels after death. This is just my theory but it would explain why Yona and Soowon are pitted together as opposing forces that are also similar. It may also explain their relationship as two parts of a whole. This ending is also something that can happen reasonably soon because none of this is truly new info and they’re all headed to the same place. I’ve been reading this since ch 1 came out and I’d be satisfied. Anyway, I really hope this ends with everyone safe!
as much as i want to cry into a pillow thinking about this, even though the happy hungry bunch won’t be together anymore, their souls will all be happy where they truly belong. we all know that Yona will become queen of Kouka, but the losses of so many loved ones along the way make it all seem too painful to bear. i want the dragons to be with Yona forever, as much as i want Soowon to be with Hak and her forever, but it just doesn’t seem to be worth it considering the pain they’re all dealing with. ╥﹏╥
They suit each other so well, I truly hope she comes to truly embrace a lifestyle she’s so obviously interested in and enjoys, despite the hardships. Both of them were resentful and reluctant at the start, but his eagerness in sharing information combined with her endless curiosity really makes them work as team (and hopefully as a real couple). I also love that this is a healing experience for ML too.
please know that it only gets more stupidly hilarious from here on out. like trust me. also, spoilers…

also there is no arranged marriage, nor will there ever be. she only heard half the conversation and misunderstood. her father was mad about the proposal because he wants it to be her choice. it’s a feel-good and deeply unserious series. they play dodgeball soon.










I went back and started reading from the beginning and Cesare’s actions from the very start make so much more sense now. Why he was a little weird at the start, it had been a while and this was a Catherine who didn’t know him, and why he kept sticking around her. He tested her quite a lot to double check if it was the same person he had known in the brief time they were together 600 years before, and she very much was. This is especially true of her reaction to him standing in the rain before collapsing. And doing dangerous things when she should really just not. I don’t think he could explain any of this to her though (I also don’t think she would have believed it)
omg im gonna reread it now bc of u ILVOE UO
OMG???
