Well just like Lucia.. They only cover like 1% of the total smut in the novel..

Oh thank you thank you for this gift brethren

Literally look at him throwing a fit because someone didn’t love his sister so he decided that he was wronged even though he helped push an innocent woman and a child to commit suicide

And then has the audacity to be so prideful that he would risk the life of his daughter and would rather attempt treason than apologize

Well, as someone who has experienced abuse as a child I can tell you that it's not that strange that they don't trust anyone. I have gone through a lot of therapy over the years and I still am having a hard time letting people in and I still can't relax if someone tries to hug me or suddenly comes physically close.

Let's put it this way, an abused mind will always wonder when the other shoe will drop. Yes, they are nice to me now, but when will that end? What do they want? Because people can't be nice without a reason, they always have something they want. And if I open up and start trusting the person and they suddenly abuse that trust - then that will hurt and it will reinforce the mindset that other people are not trustworthy.

That said, I do find it strange that they would even consider trusting someone just because he says nice words. That practically goes against everything. （￣へ￣）

Oooh tysm. I also agree with the fact that they trusted someone who just says nice words. Anyways tysm and I hope you are ok

It depends. Constantly being abused from very young will result in something called complex PTSD (post traumatic stress syndrome). Children grow and survive by using skills the brain itself use as defensive mechanism. They can fawn, in other words, appease the abuser and other people by pleasing them in different ways in order to both be safe and/or receive attention disguised as love. Other times, it’s dissociation also known as flee. There are more but basically it’s common for abused children to lose trust in adult figures specially. In the case of the twins here, the trust in nobles is completely dead, this includes the princes.

ugH same sis, i thought i was the only one who thought that i was being too hateful for not trusting people i already recognize more than i would actually trust strangers. i'm not particularly fussy about physical contact with most people, but when very specific people (unfortunately the closest as well) in my life try to even touch me i just go livid and can't relax. so i very much agree with you when you said that we just end up wondering when are people going to start turning their backs on us, i mean if it happened before then it will certainly happen again. sometimes you can't just help but drop all good expectations from people and wait for the worst to come because getting your hopes up is a total bitch when you're actually let down.

It looks good too ╥﹏╥

Yeah ┗( T﹏T )┛
