So while it is annoying that the saint is crushing on him I can see why a 16 year old would crush on a 22 year old. The 22 year old should always turn the 22 year old down, but this is like a high schooler crushing on her older brothers friend or whatever.
The poor baby tho! That age gap between him and Kondoh...like as someone in my 30's dating someone in their 20's would be super rough. We know they are gonna get together but damn....Kinda makes me ship Kondoh more with the older dude now.
Also..They better fucking find who hurt Kondoh fast!!
But did he say he waited three years at the end of this chapter? So insinuating that he was patient and just never touched her for three years?? Please tell me I read wrong cuz
DUDE WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!!
You ghosted her on the wedding night and then was gone for months. You just now started eating breakfast with her. Like...she never stopped you from being intimate with her. You just weren't fucking there!!
He did not ghosted her. He had to go to the capital after the wedding coz of some mess he needs to fix. He told the servants to inform his wife abt it but they did not tell her. And there’s so much misunderstanding between them that was caused by both of their families. The ml genuinely care for the fl but his way of showing it is through working for money. He believe that his wife deserves all the luxury coz she’s a princess. If not for the people around them taking advantage of their relationship, they would’ve been a wonder couple.
I like the realism. But one thing seems so out of wack with this story.
Why the fuck is every dude she meets except a rapist!! To the point that it stopped being a threat in my mind. Like its not even shocking anymore. I stopped feeling bad for the protag because it was soooo overdone.
Tbh its rlly exagerated, but still makes sense tho
The guy that came with her at first was a scammer that sold those cheap jewels to her, so he already wasnt rlly a good guy
Then the one from the church its always this same guy and the manga shows that the church is kinda corupted...
After that there were the mercenaries that found her alone at a florest , so they were criminals without any morals...
The places were rlly dangerous, if she was at a normal village probably would be different
But then the guy in that cabin? Just sees a lost woman knocking on his door and immediately decides to rape? LOL
Its a mistake narratively is what I mean more so than if it is or isn't realistic. If one maybe two of these events happened readers get a sense of danger. But back to back to back and its just gets old.
the guy in the mine was also going to rape her but the priest stop him and wanted to rape her instead. I guess later the other guys in the mine didn't try to rape her, only hit the other guys to work harder ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ I guess that the different man in this world ever. if they don't try to rape her, they hit others until they die, not much better than rapists ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
If he can't even pretend to be cordial to his queen in public then why have one? Who cares if you don't love her, at least dance in public, its politics!! And if you can't take politics then step down from the throne
Whatever those reasons are don't explain why he didn't dance with her considering what we know now of the implications. It doesn't matter that he doesn't like her, its politics. It doesn't matter that he doesn't trust her, if its that bad then he shouldn't have married her in the first place.
If he can't put his feelings aside in order to portray a united front with his queen then he shouldn't have married her.
Spoilers(sorry can’t really talk about without the spoilers don’t read it if u don’t want to):
He was raped by his first wife when he was just 15 yrs old he couldn’t touch any women after that’s why he didn’t dance with past Abigail, after he tells current FL why he couldn’t dance with her when they were practicing FL finally understood him so she doesn’t try to force him he still tries tho(this part is actually coming up soon it’s just a few more chapters)
I know the spoilers. None of that matters to me. In fact it makes it even more odd that he would get remarried.
But he did. So as King he needs to find a way to at least communicate with his Queen. And he should have done so before making her his wife, because based on the early chapters he didn't even mention to the original Abagail that he wouldn't touch her until after the wedding.
I can’t remember well but I think their marriage was just to get those people who kept forcing their kids to marry him to stop, that’s why he married Abigail(sorry it’s been a while since I read the novel so I can’t remember the full details) he wanted someone that wouldn’t try anything but then past Abigail started to have feelings for him and started trying to get his attention and all that
I wouldn't be surprised if he got married just to get the nobles off his back. But based on what we have here in the manga it seems that Abagail didn't know about his plans. And became obsessed once he told her that he would not touch her. It wasn't that she loved him, she just had too much pride.
I've been spoiled on what happened to real Abagail, but basically she was raised to think that something had to be wrong with the woman if the man didn't want sex. Which explains why she was so obsessed with making sure not even the female servants looked pretty. Also she apparently died after tieing her corset too tight, and then our Fl inhabits her body.
Wait seriously she died because of that now I feel like I missed something cause I thought she was poisoned or something wtf damn now I need to reread the manhwa and novel and yeah I think it was because of what u said about her becoming obsessed and all that I think I mixed up this story with another one
So that crowd was so us. They started snickering when Shovashit said that he won't allow her to be remarried. They know the score, that Navier is a good empress and that he's just throwing her away without cause. That he thought that he could have his little concubine and she would have to be left alone.
Like how would that even be fair? Super glad that their society isn't super misogonistic. And also glad, once again, glad that the High Priest seems to regard Navier like a surrogate granddaugher(since he talked about watching her grow up).











He's a grown man with a good heart and morals. Of course he doesn't want to have kids with a 16 year old. LOL
But is already considered an adult -and they are legally married.
But still 16 years old what are you even arguing about ( ̄∇ ̄") having children is not the main goal in life
Not from the culture HE is from. Which is why he is having difficulty. Where he was raised a 16 year old is not considered an adult. But 18 is.
I am not even trying to argue I am just pointing out that there is no issue .
Yes, "no issue" in considering 16 as an adult that should have a child. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ yes 16 is close to adulthood but not parenthood, that why I question your morals when you say its alright bcuz they are married and considered adult in her tribe.( ̄∇ ̄")
Well, I am sorry if I bothered anyone. But, reasoning has to do with the time period that this set in. In the Middle Ages by the time you were sixteen you were in a modern sense twenty. People died earlier save for luckier ones and so, they had different age ranges child to adult ratio, the FL wants children she has forced to do anything she didn’t want too. I am just saying Dias is very modern in his way of thinking.
Yes yes but you also forgot that people were droping like flies in middle ages and what is known of teenage pregnancy is that they often unable to concieve again bcuz teenage pregnancy wracked their uterus and even died of childbirth Yes I understand that it is possible and im not bitchin bcuz what you are saying is true but the notion that you think its justifiable to have teenage pregnancy and I know its just a manga but seriously I worry about your morals( ̄∇ ̄")
This is not the middle ages. This is a story set in a fantasy world. The parameters are set by the author.
It is true that in Aruna's culture at 15 she is able to marry. But in Dias' culture people can get married at 18. He says so in the earlier chapters.

The couple has a cultural difference which is why he is uncomfortable with having sex and kids with someone he considers a minor. For him to ignore his cultural upbringing just because its okay in her culture would make him a sleazeball. Most people don't just up and change on things like that on the drop of a hat. Now he may change his mind over time, but to automatically be okay with it would be weird unless he would be the type of man that's okay having sex with a person considered a minor in his culture.
Furthermore their marriage is an alliance. He is not a part of her tribe now. The whole point is that he was sent away by his ruler to start a new fief. He is the ruler of his own land, he is a noble now under the authority of his ruler. So he wouldn't need to just be okay with her cultural norms anyway. If anything right now its being brought up as a running gag for comedic purposes.
