Eh I really hope this woman isn’t gonna be the whole “oh? You’re close to my crush? Guess I must hate you and torture you for no real reason” like ma’am please just do your job. You’re a professional.
Yeah, I happy for a moment bc I thought they were getting a strong female role model for their time at the palace since most, if not all, of the (Royal?) Alchemist Masters that that the MC had been in contact with have all been guys, but that feeling quickly died and went to me wanting to get my squirt bottle out to spray her with water, bc this isn't how proper people act, especially professionals like you mentioned
(◡‿◡❀)
(ʘ‿ʘ❀)”Is she about to do what I think she's going to do?”
(ʘ‿ʘ)ノ❀”Hold my flower” (❀\(。-_-。) )
Deadass like why is she there if she ain’t gonna work ( ̄へ ̄)This ain’t a playground, it’s the palace ma’am. And I’m sure the youngest alchemist master in history ain’t gonna favor your childish behavior. Literally gonna make him hate you LOL I think they need to add a new section to their royal exam cuz clearly some employees aren’t up to par...
Seriously, like I even hoped maybe she was jealous that he took such a short amount of time to stop being an apprentice and go to master, and her being his girlfriend/friend made her feel threatened that the MC would be the same way (she also even got a perfect score which is unheard of and I'm curious what Arnold got on his entrance exam, because while we heard he got the highest grade in his group they never mentioned what exactly it was though I think if it was a perfect score they would have mentioned that back then). And while I was getting irritated by the chance of Linda being like this, sometimes in other mangas when they use this trope half the time they end up becoming friends and helping each other.
However, with the way she did a 180 after she learned Laura wasn't actually Arnold's girlfriend, I'm getting ready to just yeet her off a cliff that is the plot to this story, because if she is going to be like this and not act like professional or even as another competing student at this school, then why is she even here, this isn't the Bachelor and even if Laura isn't his girlfriend, the fact that he has probably been talking about her enough or whatever to make everyone think that she is should be a good indicator that he isn't interested.

This is one of the few manga where I completely disliked the side couple. I could stand to read it, unlike say Banana Scandal. I hated the seme so much in that I couldn’t even stand to read it when it’s about them. It honestly makes me a little sad cuz this is one of my favorites. It’s probably the best omegaverse too.
I like their relationship but I suddenly feel weird he's so affectionate just because of her blood. Like there’s no genuine build up in feelings. But they’re also technically married so it’s better than him being nonchalant I suppose.
Girl if you were stuck in a chamber and was tortured nonstop all day everyday, then someone handsome came and sliced off the necks of your abusers and opened the door to your salvation...you’d develop affection.
Not only is she a precious existence in that sense but the blood is also making the both of them lusty and turned on.
You pay too much attention to the whole blood thing bc I get that the author shoves it in everyone’s face cuz that’s the story, but you didn’t notice how he was noticing her personality and was actually really fond of it.
The fact that she is so bold, fearless, and expresses herself how she wants is attractive to him. Otherwise her head would have been chopped off and all her blood would have been drained for his consumption the moment she bashed his head, and if not in that moment how she just opened the blinds. He was observing her actions and is super fond of it. Not to mention how despite calling him monster and blushing furiously oh and almost dying three nights ago, she forgets all about it and sincerely offers her help just because she thought about him being in some kind of pain.
So it’s not “just because of her blood”
And im sure everything he’s going to find out about her old life as an outcast and the strength she had to ask to get revenge with her own hands...yea...he’s gonna be head over heels.
I mean I guess but if he killed her for her blood it’s kinda risky. He's practically slaughtering his only chance. How long would that last? She almost died last time and it lasted 3 days. You keep a chicken alive for it’s eggs, right? Same concept. You may kill it for the abundance of meat once, but that’s it. Then it’s gone and you’re hungry again.
As for her personality I guess. I mean, he’s entertained? But again, if she was anyone else she’d be dead easy. She has worth so she is alive. I don’t think he’d value her less just because her personality is less quirky. And she helps because that’s who she is. Besides, if she doesn’t, she’s dead anyways. That’s the reality of the situation.
I feel like right now he is noticing her and feelings are developing, but there’s nothing wholesome there. So his sudden affection is more of the influence of blood, like you said the lust, rather that placed from the heart.











Oh? Then starve. Bye Marquis.
