I should be sleeping for work but I saw this updated and I wanted to cry. Callisto is the bestest love interest ml I have read. He loves her for who she is. Not caring about the past Penelope and her old personality or the new one that insults the Crown. It may be the cliche "she is the first to treat me like this" but I feel it was done right where it ain’t annoyingly used. How the man went with it is perfect.
He didn't know what love was and that is Penelope couldn't bear giving him a chance until he kept proving that those feelings are actually real when he didn't think so either. However, here we are with the man confessing to her genuinely while she still tried to put that wall there for him to destroy it completely because his love for her is real, red and passionate. He won't give up no matter how many times she insults him, put up barriers, anything... deep down, she knows she has affection for him too but she is scared and wanted to go home, not to be tied up in the game where she can't make her dreams come true.
Callisto said he would do anything to make it true if she stayed. Being the Empress and Archeologist would be interesting.
