Erez is confusing me. In the previous life he was merciless towards MC and in this life he's oddly smitten with her. I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to be an obsessive yandere hiding his true colours. Was he in love with MC in the previous life but in a twisted way to see her angry and torment her? Did his family twist his personality back then?
Then again he wouldn't threaten mc in the previous life with execution in the gallows. Seems like he was expecting her to cling to life in anyway and hence asking her to surrender and be under his wing. He asked to surrender twice. I suppose this is where Diabel intervened as it seemed like Erez had an alternative to chain MC to him anyhow. Again, this is just a baseless speculation with no evidence.
I don't really trust Erez in this life either. Him being manipulated by MC seems too perfect that it's suspicious. He's also from the Russell family, and it's odd he is not aware of the family's scheme to destroy MC's family. It could be that his acting is very perfect and MC might be the one being fooled even if she's taking precautions. He may be aware of the conspiracy and might be trying to save MC in his own way (which means he chose to abandon MC's rest of the family if that's really the case).
In case you wanna know about Erez' true colors now: (spoiler)
*insert intermission section so possible replies don't show it either*
You are absolutely correct. He's an obsessive psycho, a hard-coded yandere for FL :') It's REALLY scary how accurate your prediction is.

AAAAAA HOLY SHIII I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS ON THE MARK IBWAS EXPECTING THE MANHWA TO PROVE ME WRONG BUT DAYUM
it actually felt weird that he tried to spare fl in the past life so much so that she could stay alive so this being true .. says enough about what i needda know (≧∀≦)
Kinda wish there was some form of communication between MC and Amelia since they exchanged their lives for some time. It would be nice to catch up and fix things. Reminds me of that Korean herbalist manhwa where she uses her knowledge to survive in the European ambient world (which I dropped after reading the spoilers) and duchess 50 tea recipes.
Feels like the artist is just trying to make it within deadlines...
How dare you do this to me? You ghosted me for months and come back unannounced and now I have to do the weekly waiting game again and you are also short what is this
You didn't specify it was season 1 end back then and now it's season 2 and I had to use deduction you baka
Jokes aside, looking forward to the delicious revenge and this short chapter made me unsatisfied and keep wanting more
I hope the ML heals, swims across the sea and crushes the trash dad like a pea
Felt bad for mc, the neglect he faced while growing up shows :(
The way he was bewildered and panicking. He may be an adult now, but even now he still deserves to have loving, affectionate parents who care for him (not the emperor and empress), plus ML's love. There was also the uncle who almost became a good family figure but that too was snatched away from him by that rapistpress.
Also glad ML did not let him run away, grabbed him and not let miscommunication happen.
Rapistpress is crazy.
Very sparkly visual effects this chapter. Not for those who have the uhhh, I forgot the exact name...flash warning?
However, the old man emperor is cute this chapter. The way he was in awe like a child with him and his garden purified by Hesaros. His expressions of happiness, wonder and joy! Hats off to the artist!
Not surprised at the reveal of blondie being connected to demonic influences.
Ironic how that father emotionally and physically abused him when he was alive and is now trying to be a caring parent after he's dead.
