It wasn’t a bad rejection from the ML. They’ve only known each other for two months and he didn’t want to lead her on. He didn’t say he’d never have feelings for her but by not answering he is leading her on with false hope. It was a pretty mature exchange (even though it hurts cause I want to see them together lol)










If the handmaiden died I would have cried so hard. She’s the real MVP of the story. Loving and compassionate the whole time
