ML is the step bro and they ended up together. NO THIS IS NOT INCEST BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT REAL SIBLINGS. NOT BLOOD RELATED AT ALL. MC IS ONLY RELATED TO ML ON PAPER BECAUSE HER MOM MARRIED HIS DAD.
He realizes his feelings for her when she was tryna save the 2nd ML and when home drenched in the rain and injured. Ml was mad and walks outbut then realizes he loves her (▰˘◡˘▰)
Time skip. Ml finally is an adult and can inherited the title. Confesses to mc but mc reject. He basically has to pursue her which i think is also cute.
in the end they had 2 kids. girl and a boy.

Rezef is half-sibling to cayane(considering they share the same mother).cayane is from the emperor and empress while rezef of empress and raphael's dad.
Here,they are not related by blood at all considering the fact that ran was is not of lachia's blood.
Remember half-siblings and step-siblings are different.

i like the art. 10/10 for me but the plot is somehow idk lacking?
1st of all i find it weird that mc got the ml's trust just by advising him with his engagement ? is the ml that incompetent that he cant have people investigate for himself?
2nd, the way mc's fam and people around her accept her changes easily like its no biggie.
Btw SPOILER!
I also hate the fact that whe put the effort in pampering her younger bro but in the end he was still exiled. Σ(っ°Д °;)っ hopefully this changes in the manga tho. I want lil bro to have a happy ending. His character is very pitiful.

Since its a webtoon, they pretty much skipped through a lot of content from the webnovel, which is a shame. Peoples thoughts are not conveyed as well here. Plus its not really shown whether the ML trusts Cayena so far, only that hes intrigued.
And same, i hate how villains are framed in a sympathetic way, only to not give them a redemption arc. It really makes characters one dimentional. Rezef was literally made to contrast the ML, we're coerced to compare their personalities and morals because they interact with Cayena the most. Rezef is a decent villain but the author could've handled him better with a little effort.

at first i thought it was just a mother and son redemption story but nooooooooo. Boy the plot thickens. SPOILER!
They divorce. Yep. Carsen divorces her to protect her? Her son ofcourse choose to stay with the mother but in the end after all the conflicts their fam gets back together bc father and mother still loves each other.
If that aint love then idk anymore just get married and live happily please (/TДT)/
