Girl don't bring heavy shit into your story unless you're ready for heavy consequences?? He regularly does that to his own brother and his consequence for it is.... Not being able to do that anymore??? This doesn't leave me thinking how kind our protags are, but about what fucked up shit he'll do to the next omega he gets his hands on.

I love how Cale's particular combination of neuroses makes him think that he's somehow fucking the prince over by dumping all the information on him, instead of what it actually is: A random noble doing all the investigation before freely giving it over to the prince, who's job it is to actually do something about it. Bro thinks he's master manipulator, when he's the manipulation is "here's some problems you need to know about, that you didn't know about"

Idk, I'm not satisfied with his character development just yet. It's good that he knows not to neglect her now, but the core of the problem hasn't been resolved: he doesn't see her as a person, he sees her as a girl. The reason why he treated the princess kindly is because he never saw her as a girl in the first place. He has now learned, that girls won't like him if he ignores them, but he still doesn't see her as the same kind of being as his friends. He doesn't tell her the truth, he doesn't just straight up admit what he did wrong and why.
It's why her studying abroad is such a big deal to him. A friend like the princess can follow whatever path she chooses, but if his fiance leaves him, it means he failed, because she's a girl he's in love with. He was taught from a young age, that the way you treat girls it's different and that is what separated them in the first place. His awkwardness around what girls like, his feigned stoicism and endless avoidance of anything sincere or embarrassing IS the reason why she doesn't know or love him.

Many things to say like, I love how we got this chapter, the new haircut suits them wonderfully, I love how much he smiles now, but most importantly, watching them makes me really really wish I was married already. Oh myyyyy goooooood. Why am I not waking up to someone I love everyday already oh my goooooooood. AAARGHHH

I think the sorceress lied just now. We know that Sylhan's memory is getting better and we know that Gjord has something to do with the previous sorcerer getting sick. For whatever reason, Lysbet doesn't want Sylvan to recover his memories, whether it's because she cares for him or she gets something out of it, I have no idea. She did let Sylhan choose the medication, which makes me think that she does sincerely want him to be healthy, just not capable of taking back his place.
Anyway off topic, but I reaaallly appreciate Gjord and how he's written. I feel like 99% of other yaoi writers would have made him abusive already, what with being strong royal who had slept with Sylhan before.
Besttttt fucking catharsis ever 100/10. I love how their relationship developed. Instantly losing his shit after clearing the seventh dungeon is exactly what was needed to make Hyeon seem genuine.
