Like the vanity and things he's ordered and him yearning for her. Love to see it
A lot to unpack. So ML killed her baby baby by that look on his face. Then you got the king wanting to get her back and didn't give a fuck about his own baby or wife's well-being. I'm with the FL. The woman was shitty but didn't deserve her baby to be killed. She was fighting for the throne and yes it was messy but she ain't deserve that.
Why yet again is this the troupe of "I raised you and now imma fuck you"? Like these authors are very weird for that. The stories in itself be decent but then the backstory of the having raised their now current love interest is gross AF.
He didn't really raise her, he simply dropped her off to be raised as a priestess and went on his way.
Knowing her since a child and then when they're grown and fucking them... Still in the same realm. He and she spent quality time together until he dropped her off. So much so that she developed feelings from him and had flashback memories of the different things they did when she was a CHILD. So it's the "I raised you and now imma fuck you" troupe.
I can see why it's adjacent to that trope, but I don't think it's as bad as the way you're framing it. He didn't plan on ever seeing her again, since he thought that she would hate him for being a mage due to being in the temple for so long. He never indicated to her that she should become a sharing when she gets older, so it's not like he groomed her.
It would be weird if he specifically brought her into the tower to become a sharing, but that's not what happened. They separated for years and then she pursued him as an adult woman, which I don't see anything wrong with.
I will say, I would have liked more development between them since their relationship is basically a lust=love situation, on account of poor writing from the author. You're right in saying that the way he immediately became attracted to her is odd, but I think that's more so related to the fact that there was no relationship growth to establish that change. If there was more time where he got to know the adult her and fall in love, then I think that would really benefit the relationship overall.
The mage didn't raise her tho?
*tomatoes* *tomatoes* He's a lame MF now. We want our romantic and loving Eti back. Blonde hair him tripping.
Someone tried to correct me previously in the comments and say Muir ain't rape her and that Winston didn't either. Clearly stated that he "forced to mate with her" and Winston did too. I don't like how SA was something nonchalantly added to the story. It's disgusting.
I actually didn't read Winston part but Muer
Yeah Winston got like high or something idk and raped her. He later was remorseful but like why is this in this story?
Im not sure about Muer, but Winston ended up raping her because he was under the influence of the scorpion poison and that flower field he thought she was a hallucination because he was having them. Still doesn't excuse it but there more to it than just him being high, and he was immediately remorseful once he came to his senses.
Chapter 669 says he forced her. The author loves SA
She has manipulated her all her life. It's not easy to snap out of abuse that easily. I hope he actually continues to love and protect her and that she goes with him.
Everyone seems upset at the plot taking a drastic turn and I wanna say that it seems like two different stories. One with angst and revenge, the other with a fluffy love story that didn't resolve her being killed numerous times by the ML. I don't mind them getting together but there should be something that's resolved about that first.
