As of Ch. 3 I swear she bit him as a kid.
Still, he took apparently the scenic route with stewing and came out freshly steamed and slightly deranged.
YOOoo SAME THOUGHT BRO.
SAME
if she bit him and he came out deranged… RABIES????
No matter what, there's something I agree with the Empress on:
his first son is an idiot.
If anything, I am enarmored with the prospect that - while these characters where gambled - the prince pulled the "heroine" card and Vicky got the "hero" card.
1. Making idiotic decisions and leaving (supposedly) secure environment in a fit of rage and hightened emotions with next to no contingency plan? Check!
2. Blushing with all his might for one reason or another? Check!
3. Mildly useless in a fight and the damsel in distress? (he damseled his distress beautifully) Check!
4. Mysteriously showing cleavage for no reason? Check! (That shirt was risqué)
5. Fanservice "almost naked" scene? Check!
Lilliana used her special move [getting lost in desserts]
... it was super effective
The premise of "too tired to give a fuck, might as well" is too enticing.
Look, between Melmont and Kin and the rest (with the base laid out by Abel), you'd think the Princes character might be MAYBE a little weird.
So it kinds makes sense that Kin's worries are like "oh noes, he might evolve into a terrible playboy if no one watches over him, whatever are we gonna do" but off-handedly proposes just a tiny little bloodbath. Just a bit of homicide. For morale.
I did not know the other manga. Thank you very much for the share because the other one is way more interesting ヾ(☆▽☆)
Agree the other one is better, although it is weird how the MLs and the princesses are super similar.
As of chapter 2 I am rather convinced Maria is the only one believing in this contract marriage stuff, but ok - do go on, I very much want to see the guy dig himself out of this predicament by his own design
Ok, so the insufferable fool wants our hero for personal reasons, and our hero wants the insufferable fool chopped to pieces like here, there and WAY over there.
And I can relate. He IS insufferable. And his learning ability seems to dither on a backwards arch, like come on. Stop meddling with someone who could obliterate you and is starting to wonder why he SHOULDN'T; like earnestly questioning what was the reason for not killing the fool on sight.
