So I got curious and went ahead and read the novel. This part here is around chapter 130+. Anyways, the guy who saw Luca in this chapter was named Max. He has a daughter named Chloe who's sick. He's doing this because he needed money to cure her. Judith managed to convince him to turn against Franz by offering him more money.
Judith and Luca were about to escape but Franz returned much earlier because Rudieger and his soldiers were closing in on the place. With Max's help, Judith and Luca were able to hide in some room. Max sacrificed himself to save the two but not before Judith makes a promise to help his sick daughter.
Franz still managed to find them tho. He was about to kill Judith since he couldn't have her but shooting at her, but Luca tackled him so the bullet's trajectory changed. It still grazed Judith's side tho. But no one noticed until Ruediger arrived and shot Franz. When they saw that Judith was bleeding, Ruediger thought that she was hit by the bullet he shot. This man legit gonna off himself if Luca hadn't stopped him.
Don't worry, Judith is fine. She woke up a few days later. Ruediger didn't leave her side and was crying the whole time. It was in this scene that Judith and Luca talked about their regression. Yes, apparently, Judith is the real Judith and the novel that he thought she read were just memories of Luca. She didn't hate Luca and was just very hurt and angry because of what happened to Larissa (Luca's mom). So he vowed revenge towards the Winterwalds in their past life and joined hands with Franz. But when she found out that Franz was trying to kill Luca , she tried to stop it but was killed by Franz instead. Then the two finally remembered that Ruediger in in the same room.
Luca said here that he wouldn't take the Winterwald name because he's not a real Winterwald. Apparently Jonas was the son of princess Vanessa with another man. Which the current duke of Winterwald confirmed when he visited and talked to them.
Son the princess felt so suffocated because of the former king that she lived a secret debauched life as a retaliation. But she got pregnant. So she asked the current duke of Winterwald to make deal with her. She knew that the duke loves her maid. She said that if she married her and took in the child she's bearing, she would fake her death and he could marry Sophia (Ruediger's mother) after. But she died of childbirth so.
The duke also really killed Jonas. It's because this guy planned to be the bext king by wishing on the magic cup that the heads of the Winterwald see after they became the head. It's also the cup that help Luca and Judith regressed because Luca wished to be happy. And Jonas also said that the first thing he would do once he became the duke was to kill Sophia. Because she's just a lowly maid who took his mother's position, not knowing that his real father was just some random guy.
Anyways, the former king finally approved the marriage and the two got married.
I'm kind of tired typing, so if you have any other question, just asked. Lol.
Sorry for wrong pronouns in some parts. I typed this on my phone so... ><
Thank you for ur hard work ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~(づ￣ ³￣)づ
Thank you! Where did you read the novel if you don’t mind me asking?
What was Ruediger's initial reaction to all this
It's on kakaopage and ridibooks as well. Just typed the korean name on google and it will appear.
Reaction to what exactly? If you're asking about his reation to Judith and Luca's regression, he's not that surprised since he was already expecting that the two were hiding something from him. If it's about the thing about the stuff about Jonas, he was surprised at first, specially after knowing that the duke was the one who killed Jonas. But after that, he became calm again? He didn't really show much violent reaction. At least that's how I read it. It was MTL so some nuance might have been lost on me.
I see. Thanks for the info
I didn’t read but man, good work! Don’t wanna get spoiled lol
Damn so the whole thing was really the former kings fault with his obsession and restriction of his daughter. And Franz that delulu
Thank you for the spoilers. So I guess the story will move like this
After everything is settled Sir Rui will become
With Judith being a royalty. They actually become parents to Luca just like our Rui wanted in the initial chapters ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
The former king finally feels remorse and the false claims of Father Winterwalt killing Vanessa is resolved but this would also mean them finding out he killed Jonas ┗( T﹏T )┛
I was looking for spoilers thank you so much for your time （╹◡╹）
The way I was laughing at the beginning because of the awkwardness of it all, then just crying at the end. Grandpa!!!! （/TДT)/
Just why? In the latest raw chapter, the uke still hasn't apologized for forcing the seme to make up with his mom (the reason for his abandonment issue and why he couldn't taste anything btw). That's not the only thing the uke did. He even slept in the house of his ex fxck buddy. Then the uke cooked something for the seme and gave him flowers and suddenly, everything is okay??? I don't get it. Even the korean readers are frustrated with the uke. Why is his character development turning downward instead of up? Just... Why?
The mother is so annoying. Like, lady can you just chill??? Can we have the time skip now? I really don't want to read about the parents anymore.
Meant to up vote
The fact that the shitty mother did not die of cancer and is living freely is just... (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Ikr! She's so healthy that's she running for elections.
In the novel, Sharon is described as someone who looked like a model. So why does she look so old here??? It seems like anyone who was just slightly older has wrinkles on their faces. （￣へ￣）
And the Queen Elise should be Queen Elisabeth (yes, with an 's' and not a 'z'), right?
Where did you read the novel?
need to read the novel pls.
please do share the novel link （/TДT)/
Why do I feel like something bad is going to happen to grandpa? ┗( T﹏T )┛
Why can't she just tell him who she is? Like, will his country wage war on her country if she did? Or are their countries enemies? Sorry, but I kind of forgot if that was ever mentioned.
Her country is like an ally to his enemy's country. So yeah. Can't tell him about her identity
Forgive me if im wrong but her reasoning actually make sense for me, basically she was afraid that he would use her as hostage or a tool to start a war, if she had revealed her identity. Like her mom will definitely try to get her back no matter what if they found out she's been captured, like what if he use her to threaten her family. From the reader stan point we know what he actually feels but she doesn't and can't risk to be the cause of her family get killed.
It has a manhwa adaptation! And the art is good?? The novel of this has 500+ chaps. Getting into it at first was kind of hard for me coz of the name of the characters. They should have just made them all westernized or something, considering the whole setting. Because what kind of name is Hong Biyeon Adolebit??? Lol. Flame was also annoying at first. Like one of those female MCs of romance fantasy manhwas. But I guess the author made her that way on purpose. Aiselle is best girl. Lol. This is harem-ish btw. Just not sure if it will have a harem ending since I haven't finished it yet. Anyways, this is a pretty good novel if you like munchkin MCs.
Hi! Can I ask you where did you read the novel?
I died at the half Korean half European names its funnier that way ╮(￣▽￣)╭
no way.. not another harem
Wow. A story in which it didn't take 50 chaps for FL to leave her shitty family. *Claps hands* This is how it should be done. Not an FL pretending to be smart and scheming to leave while still letting her shitty family walk all over her and still staying with them. Good job, Riarte!
