On the list of manipulative, possessive MLs, I’m actually okay with Kiel now. He let Asha realize his feelings on how own without manipulation and got rid of Alicia in a pretty humane ways to be honest. Considering how she was ultimately a victim of her family and their brainwashing, I’m glad she wasn’t executed. Not super comfortable with her being sent to an older man who we know little to nothing about, but in the end, her mental suffering wasn’t prolonged the way it would be if she stayed and watched Kiel marry Asha. She became an empress in the end and likely has enough power/backing that she should be fine in the other empire too.
With the duke, I don’t really care what happens to him LOL











This was a cute, light read. Loved the nephew cameos
