*sry for being a h*rny m**therf*cker. Kinda curious how it'll look like when limp / half-*r*ct
I suppose ch 78 wrong upload is d reason we have placeholders
But that side, I DO think this isn't d time for smex tho.
What Etienne need is some spoiling and gentle cuddling....
D poor boy is going thru so much & he's practically all skin and bones.....
Also, I guess the Empress do have some *sliver* of mother instinct... she's still a bitch blinded & twisted by pride, envy, & greed.
Also, i feel like that empress aide(?) dude probs isn't fully aware of the empress heinous acts.... (d one who brought etienne back via horse) & maybe a poor 2nd ml candidate???? Idk.
Yah know, I have a sinking feeling that Lumiere's smiling face w/love is biased / just how others perceive it & it isn't how she really feels (maybe she just got stuck & have to do that to survive)
And I also feel the Empress DID love Lumiere (platonically) and ALSO hated her for being loved by the emperor....
Leading to this twisted situation & a strange obsession where she tortures Saphir, but keeps him alive and looks at him with love at the same time. Like, she should be the only one to bestow both love & torture upon him who looks so much like her beloved Lumiere (projecting her emotions for Lumiere unto Saphir)
And what's worse is, the root of all this problem isn't doing a thing (sperm donor).
I also have a feeling, the sperm donor fell in love w/the Lumiere who loved the Empress & forcefully took her away to try to receive the same attention, but soon got tired of it
(like a child who stole a treasured toy or pet, only to get rid of it when it's all worn out / after abusing it)
It feels like they're dumbing down Kayla & other characters so that they can steer the story to a certain direction..... it's so frustrating when they resort to that
This whole thing feels so out of character!!!
....I think only Astaire & Franz are still somewhat consistent, but the rest......
It seems this is one of the common problems of rofan TT^TT
I knew they'll make him question his views!
Now, how stubborn will he be?
How long will he close his eyes and cover his ears?
What would it take for him to realize & accept a truth different from his own or that things aren't as black & white as he believes them to be?
Hehe, I make it sound grand, but the author & artist might make it something simple as well & that's OK!!!
I can't wait to see him struggle internally <3










Chapter 79 is a reupload of 78, not the actual chapter
