WINTEEEEER!!!! I ALWAYS KNEW YOUR CHARM WINTER!!! THAT AMONG THE MALE LEADS, YOU'RE MOST DEDICATED TO BEING A GOOD PERSON!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHGGHHHHHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HE'S NOT BORING!!! HE JUST HAD MORAL OBLIGATIONS OUTSIDE OF PENELOPE!!!! AND EVEN THEN!!!! And even then.....!!!!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN ETERNAL LOVE AAAAAARGGGHHGGAGAGAHAHAHAHHAHAGAGAÁAAAAAAAA
Anyway I do think that "passionate love"isn't the complete truth there, I mean he was pretty passionate even at 0%. Maybe true love, or dedicated love??
TIME SKIP??!??!!!!! I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE MY CHURCH WEAR ON! WHAT AN OCCASION!
Well, boypussy is good I guess....(Shuffles dirt with my shoe sadly)....I mean.. we could've had boycloaca, but that's asking for too much I guess....(Gazes at the horizon mournfully)....maybe next time then...(Single tear rolls down my face)
I feel like acting like this is the FL falling in love suddenly is really misinterpreting the situation...It's not that she sees him in a romantic light now, she had a panic attack and didn't even recognize him. It didn't come out of nowhere, her cracking under the weight of her suppressed memories has been brought up before. She didn't break down because he was a bit mean her, but because of a communication breakdown in a high-stress situation. Like it's obvious she was brought back to a moment where her words were ignored and she got hurt because of it.
Hot take, this makes her a stronger character, not a weaker one. A character who girl-bosses around the place all the time, with no vulnerabilities whatsoever isn't a strong one, it's just another two dimensional character. She isn't this cry-baby princess now, she just had a traumatic flashback and reacted like a person.
Also like... she's kind of crazy. That's an important part of her character. She doesn't act crazy to be mischievous, she genuinely understands the world a bit differently. That doesn't mean she's not smart, or not professional, but that she isn't being weird around the duke to fuck with him, she's just communicating in the clearest way possible to get. Idk, you don't get her like I do
Yippee!!!! A piece of shit seme, but in a new, interesting, realistic and more in-depth way than the usual!!!!!
The atmosphere is so good here, I can practically hear the door shutting for good and the people desperately trying to make sense of things. The characters all feel like they're moving and I could totally see it being made into a film
Surely assassin would be a better word there rather than eliminator :D
I'm sorry, but every chapter I'm being more and more biased. What in the world are you getting upset at pretty boy?!
YOU'RE the one who thought it's a good idea to send your nephew away. YOU'RE the one who blindly trusted someone who'd kill your nephew without hesitation. YOU'RE the one, who let him live in an abusive household!
The hell did Maddie do??? She rescued your nephew without even bargaining with you, she treated him with kindness and she offered a better hiding plan, after seeing how yours failed so miserably.
"Oooh, but she only did it for the money!!"
1. So what if she did? At the end of the day, actions matter more than intentions. The duke obviously had kind and loving intentions, but his inaction led to his nephew being abused. Maddie might have had greedy intentions, but her actions led to him being rescued and safe.
2. She did not do it for the money, bffr. She could've made much more if she was the one who held the nephew hostage (since she clearly has the skills for it)) or if she waited until he was taken to offer the duke her help. Obviously, she extremely materially oriented, so she'll try to get cash out of it, but that was not there reason why she did it in the first place. I'm not even saying she's this kind and loving person, rescuing children left and right, just that she did it for the duke. She cares about the duke's well being, because she finds him interesting and he's her client, so she rescued the nephew to protect his feelings. So what if she wants some money out of the naive fool as well.
3. She's literally hired by him!!! Why would it upset him so, when they literally have a contract regarding her employment. She's not a long time friend trying to squeeze money out of him ((unlike some people)), she's just an overachieving employee. Just be glad your nephew is saved!!! Just reflect on how your foolishness nearly cost him his life!!! Just think about trusting Maddie more, since she literally warned you about your friend earlier!!!!!!
I want to hit the duke with a pan at this point, great story by the way, I'm really enjoying the characters and the story, it feels really unique mwah mwah
I really love this, it's not often there's such a tense and interesting story with a 90% female cast, plus all the designs and personalities are so interesting.
I will kill and die for Ai-san btw, if you can't handle an instable teenage girl with anger issues, then that is your personal weakness and not one of her character.

I hope Michelle is doing well, whoever she is with and whatever she is doing. Kaoru too of course, but she seems like a strong determined person who'll do well everywhere.
