Nothing says “get ready for unnecessary filler and bad story telling” like pushing what a horribly sad and lonely backstory childhood the protagonist had, only to open the new season with, “but surprise she actually had a loving brother that was never mentioned or foreshadowed who cared for her and she relied on!” This character feels poorly planned, and is poorly executed/introduced and has entirely turned me off to this story. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
LMAOOOOO my exact reaction. but then they showed tarkan again i remembered why i even bothered pushing thru to this point in yhe first place
"she relied on" ? The dude was sent into exile when she was around the same age the emperor started mistreating her, what are you talking about ?
Also the only thing shown about her past so far is how the emperor started mistreating her when she "failed" to awaken a power and she grew up isolated which is still true since her brother was exiled around the same age her mistreatment started.
You are nitpicking on the weirdest thing.
Yeah...that was just like thay were looking for. A reason
Exactly. After all, Rine was born with silver hair and violet eyes which are traits of people that awakened the ability, Emperor's Eye.
At a young age, her room was closed off and set with fire as per orders by her father the emperor in hopes of awakening that ability but as you can see it didn't awaken. She miraculously escaped from a closed room blazing in fire only for her father to ask if she awakened the emperor's eye. At that moment, she completely gave up on her father, besides her imprisonment was induced by the second princess who *spoiler alert* was a reincarnated person that read the supposed original story (it wasn't mentioned but implied) that Rine is the protagonist and she didn't like that so she manipulated the emperor using the knowledge.
Anyway, Chapter 103, why is the brother's power different from the novel?? It was supposed to be telekinesis but I guess that's fine, I'll see how it goess..
I want to clarify, Rine did indeed awaken that ability but she didn't tell the emperor since she didn't like being used by the emperor.
Telekinesis?? Bro that's a cool power. I hope they didn't actually changed it.
would you be so kind an spoiler some info about what her eww bio father is up to?
there is no way he wont have any negative impact again
also her sister (blond green eyes) is she a good or a bad person?
asking here bc u clearly read the novel sorry for not adding to the conversation
Sure!
Tbh, the bio father doesn't rlly have much of a role in the story. He still thinks that MC will kill herself although he's suspects a bit that she won't, in the end he still thinks it's impossible. At some point, MC returns becoz she needs something but she can't have it becoz emperor is going to suspect something and it will ruin all her plans. I think she steals it or has her brother steal it but I can't rlly remember. Then due to some events, MC revealed her ability and that she was chosen by God(?) as the rightful owner of the throne so she replaces the emperor. He retaliates saying it's treason but MC has some sort of magical proof that she was chosen so everyone wanted to follow her instead of him.
2nd Princess is the antagonist of the story. She has memories of the future. Idk if she reborn regress or reincarnated. It wasn't expressed directly. She is jealous of MC and wants everything that was supposed to be hers. At young age, she schemes, got MC imprisoned, sweet talked or manipulated the emperor, she has an ability to change the weather. She then tried to seduce Tarkan, but failed. At the end, thanks to MC awakening her full potential, she took away or sealed 2nd princess power and imprisoned her.
There's a lot to know at this part.
thx so much :)
oh one mor question
does he find out how she was treated?
his reaction?
or more like does it get revealed to everyone?
I enjoyed the side stories showing the ogMarcia and the baby. I know we already know the fate of Richard and Lalisa but I also wanted to see an adult Lalisa and Marcia like watching their kids together both as adults ya know
Is Cyril the son of Odelli and hector? Or gautier and someone else? Very confused on lineage
Son of Odeli brother, the dead crown prince
Ty just reread the side stories of og story and saw him at the end of the davonville arc with murielle
Okay wait. Just got to ch 17. He’s the son of Albert and a Castilian, yet he was also clearly the same or similar age to murielle. I think this tracks, but then how old was Albert? Albert seems to have had Cyril very young? Is Albert gone?
Yes, as i know albert passed away and his mother gone back to her homeland
He’s suck a fucking dick at this perspective. we need his POV asap for this to at least parse better. Like, he’s so bad, but still so good by this settings standards. This is also like, the literal prologue still
He’s not being a dick at all. The woman he loves has followed him to a battlefield where she has no training at all, where he can’t make sure she’s protected. She’s the only person he couldn’t stand to lose and there she his smack in the middle of where so many lose their lives.
His reaction is completely reasonable.
That’s what I mean by he’s still good by this settings standards, and that we’re in the prologue. But he’s like this with no good explanation even in the novel too. (I do t recall him deeply sharing his pov with her) He’s also constantly throwing her insecurities about being a dukes daughter right in her face when she wants to more prove herself as a knights wife.
Btw I enjoy this story and like riftan. I’m just lamenting how early into the miscommunication trope we’re in
He doesn’t know that’s an insecurity of hers, how can he be throwing it in her face? Riftan doesn’t even find out how Maxi was treated until much later in the future.
And I think the communication part is just a flaw he’ll always be working on. Also saying hey you shouldn’t be here and here’s why is communicating, he’s just upset on top it.
She has said it multiple times. Either she’s a dukes daughter and listen to her, or she’s your wife and you can lord over her as her husband. “Riftan isn’t seeing reality” if you want to stick at the level of being inside the story. I think he’s being pretty harsh from an “outside the story” level. Maybe it’s a compliment to the author, then, that they can make the scene so tense, but I think he’s being a dick lmao. Like if I described the story to convince a friend to read it, I’d probably tell them that the ML is kinda a rough brute, bordering being a dick, until they actually work on resolving misunderstandings which starts at basically the end of this arc.
SPOILER.
Riftan’s journey of being against maxi and treating her like this, to actually being supportive and proud of her is like, the main conflict of the story. He’s a dick to her about her participation in anything at the beginning, and in many of the following arcs. He’s borderline emotionally abusive later about it when he basically emotionally ghosts her after he reveals his past and she still participates in a campaign. But he eventually gets over it and swears his oath to her in respect by the end. He realizes he can’t rule her, and effectively swears his subservience to her as her knight. Its about maxi gaining her confidence and conquering her worlds patriarchy through gaining riftan’s trust. Riftan represent their modern patriarchy compared to her father who is the traditional patriarchy.
Sorry for triggering you. I think he’s being a dick rn ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Because jaeheon is the oldest in the AU, the real ages are in reverse order with glasses mugo as the oldest mugo and monster mugo being the youngest.
Sorry this foreplay is so hilarious I don’t mind waiting 5 weeks for it to go from rib splitting to ass splitting if u know what i mean
Pell’s smug look as litheria carried him away was GOLD
