dude fell inlove in just 5 chapters

kind of unrelated but still adding onto this, men sometimes struggle with telling platonic and romantic feelings apart in friendships with women since women have more of a emotional element to their friendships then men do, that's why when women and men establish a friendly Bond there is a 8/10 chance they will develop feelings because affection = love
this is also why if you ask an old person or just some random guy on the street if men and women can be friends then it's very likely that they will say no.

Idk I just hate the fact that Roselia don't know the true colors of her son and husband ughh ngl I pity her getting lovely and stuff with her husband and son without knowing they are hiding their true colors oskwnwjsnsjsnsjsnsks

i don't think it is like that. more like duke believes that roselia doesn't know. roselia has seen bodies being carried out and she has read the novel. of course she knows. she might be misunderstood about Ain, because she thinks he hasn't been corrupted yet but she does knows about Cassius and his line of work.
that is the reason she was afraid in the first place.
Omg just date already im falling to this two's relationship
