I say this for all of us. Toma needs a nice spanking! Yes, I said it. I hate seeing out of control kids. It shows a lack of home training!!!

He's a maniac fighting for his man! Now, the main story is coming full circle. You all will recall that the perverted shaman would have blocks when it came to Boss, because he never realized his true feelings. Well, now he have put it all out there! So, cute
Will his big brother turn out to be a gangster? I wonder because he looks like one!
It was obvious that Howe had developed feelings for her before Catherine died. That's why he ghosted her. These two would be the best match.
She only got with Keith because her ex had cheated on her with Howe's sister. Therefore, Keith was the rebound guy, and Howe can be the true love.
You would have thought that the Duke and Jeremy would have been at the trial. To be honest, the trial was anticlimactic and I am a little disappointed.
Pause: sidebar (Where are the Duke, Elijah's maid, Jeb, and Jeremy?) I am expecting the rallying of the troops. Here is something light since I am usually so deep in my analysis of the story.
What might have been, if Edmund would have went to either Raymond or Elijah with the truth? Elijah has always expressed a desire to save Edmund if possible from the end result of death. She was an ally that he never considered. However, he was caught in a no win situation. He tried to fight the corruption from within and lost. He was no match for his mother. Therefore, he should have said something to Raymond or Elijah, but even that is a catch 22 situation as well. Damned if he do it and damned if he don't.
It is ironic that both Raymond and Edmund becomes the sacrificial lamb. Raymond was willing to die to save Carlyle, and Edmund becomes the sacrificial lamb to atone for his Mother's sins. In turn, the sins of the mother and father falls upon their individual sons. Thereby, saying this, Carlyle becomes the sacrificial lamb for the sins of the corruption within the royal family itself.
Amazon title is the following. Release on August 20th

Hate Me, but Let Me Stay Vol. 1
I am so happy to see the English translation of this will be sold on Amazon!
Okay, I love this story and always have since day one. However, as an artist myself (I have painted since I was 8 years old), I am not liking the visual look of the characters. Toma is no longer cute, but freaky looking. The adults are no longer attractive. Something is just off. Sigh, can we please return to the old art style? Did a new artist take over, and thought the changes would not be noticable?
This last chapter bothered me. Historically, people have used poison to take out their enemies. Even though Raymond and Elijah did not know that Carlyle snitched to Edmund, they should not have ate anything he brought to the table. At the end the day, he is HIS MOTHER'S SON!!! THIS was a grievous miscalculation on their part. However, if he survive, Carlyle WILL LEARN 2 VALUABLE LESSONS: KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND DON'T EAT EVERYBODY'S FOOD!

Now, even I from time to time have been sympathetic to Edmund; however, he is NOT the only victim in this story. If you think about it, Raymond's life parallel Edmund. As a child, he was a victim of his environment (just as Jeremy and Elijah were to theirs).
However, even stating all of this, Edmund is not stupid! He is a child, like all the children here, who was thrown into this violent political world. He like everyone else have to be accountable for his own actions. Instead of confronting Raymond, what did he do? He reported the information to his mother's assassin. He had to know that by repeating this information, he was picking a side and that side was with his mother. From this perspective, Edmund is NO VICTIM but an active player on the chest board. Carlyle is a victim of his innocence, youth, and ignorance.
Dear author, we are tired of the forced scenes! This is NOT the 1970s or early 1980s when people tried to make this crap romantic with the victim falling in love with the rapist! When we know better we do better. Read the room and get with the times. Your story doesn't need it. Make the ML be a psychological head case, but STOP WITH THE RAPE SCENES. It tells us more about what you are all about instead of some work of fiction!
I know that Carlyle is young; however, he needs to learn when to close his mouth. By telling Edmund about Rion, it could put him and Elijah in more danger.
Although I know that Grandma is probably dead, I hope that they are having 1 last adventure before the end. I am feeling sad.
Most of the time, we get stories all over the place, with no clear directions! However, this story NEVER failed flat. I was invested from the start. I honestly want more! Write about them until they are old and decrepit. Tell us about the rebuild and will the father marry the former traitor? ( Sorry, I still do not like her.). Sighs, if this is the end, I guess I have to accept it gracefully.
