I really like how the main character isn't played as a victim.in any of those situations. She is comfortable with her sexuality and likes to have fun in situations under her control. I like how she has not once been called a whore but rather someone who knows what she likes. Also.red haired dude is cute.

Okay...who else thought that Io and nana would become a thing or at least a thing hinted at? Like all the flags were shown. The special meeting, the misunderstanding and then making up, them saving each other, and how stinking cute they were together and how they communicated healthily. Shiokaxnana is okay but Ioxnana is like...the best ship.

I find the ruve now is a completely different person from the past ruve. Tia has proven to ruve that she's worthy of being praised by others, so he won't feel inferior anymore. She has given herself time to grow into who she wants to be, not who the empress should be. So ruve has a chance to know her for who she is. She stopped ignoring her mother's existence, which seems that her ignorance before was what caused him to hate her so much. And I feel that duke in the past could've successfully poisoned the Prince against Tia in order to improve his faction of aristocrats. I feel like Ruve still has some improving to do to make it up to Tia and us as readers as we're also still not convinced he's different. Though I'm sure if the other girl came right now he wouldn't be cruel to Tia, probably just indifferent as they still haven't completely connected.
A girl becomes a maid for a kind lord who helped her in her time of need. It's a story about forgiveness, repentance, and gratitude.
