He really straight up ignored Yua LMAO.
TBH, she's also not my cup of tea. She's the type of character I don't like (even if she was a guy) JHASDJHGSADJHSK A person who runs on morals and justice or whatever, but is actually pretty useless, dense/naïve, and has almost zero initiative -- so someone else has to babysit them until reality punches them in the gut.
finally he's hereeee i have been waiting for this arc IVE HAD ENOUGH OF HER BROTHERS AND OTHER GUYS
Has spring finally come for our best girl, the queen, and the innocently dense Lady Melissa?
The. COMMUNICATION.
Their relationship feels genuine/real.
Yes! When you have a partner, you should always meet half-way. Always find the time to clear up the air. Worrying over things like "I will hurt them if I say how I feel" or "It's not a big deal, I'll just ruin the mood" is what endangers a relationship. It's natural that tending to wounds, little or not, will always sting in the beginning. But the important thing is that, at the end of the day, it will heal. So never leave it alone and let it fester.
Leaving concerns unsaid will just build up overtime. Eventually, lying/hiding things from your partner will become a normal thing -- and it would tax one's mental health. A relationship won't keep itself afloat. Always find the time to address concerns, and acknowledge the good things. People grow and change, so it's a healthy practice to keep each other on the same page. Even old couples with 30-40+ years of marriage still manage to learn new things about their spouses.
It warms me that this story addresses these type of things, which are normally brushed off in other romance titles where the main couple always somehow figure out what the other wants as if they have some built-in telekinesis.
((TBH, the sex scenes don't even feel particularly erotic or kinky [or fan service-y?] like in other stories with smut. It feels more natural, like, it's normal for them to have sexual desires because they love each other... that kind of thing. NGL tho, Kotaro's obsession to scent can be labelled as a fetish LMAO))
Yeaa agree
he's so twisted, cunning, manipulative..... i hate him so much but he's such an interesting character that i will be sooo sad if he's gone WTF AM I FEELING RN
CANT WAIT FOR NAVIER TO JUST PEACE OFF FROM THIS SINKING EMPIRE AND DO QUEEN STUFF WITH THE MAN SHE DESERVES
LISTEN to her wishes. And for once, use your authority and power as a Duke to protect her and her son. You don't deserve forgiveness. You owe her THAT much.
If you're aware that she also regressed, all the more reason for you not to step over the wall she built. Ever.
Holy hell, you know they're the type who hasn't experienced rejection. They're being persistent because their pride is hurt -- not particularly because they genuinely want to be friends, or whatever, with her.
Because that's definitely not the behavior of a "suitor".
oh boy, look, he's acting like he's the victim when he didn't even bother to find out the truth :/
I love how fast paced the story progresses, it doesn't dwell too much on one event... and we're only 20 chapters in.
