wait so let me get this straight...
Nox and orthez did have mutual feelings for eachother but Nox couldnt man up because of his social class?
and then Orthez move to felluah to be near nox but ended up falling for arthur???
sorry im not rereading allat hahah

I believe yesss, its very likely that nox and orthez share the same feelings towards each other when they were both in tessa at one point. Nonetheless, since the beginning of their marriage orthez promises arthur that she would be faithful/loyal to him as a spouse and subsequently mentioned that arthur should also do the same (source: chap 4 vol 1, chap 2 vol 2 etc). Thus, I'm not entirely sure about the idea of orthez moving to felluah to be close to nox bcause i just thought she merely needed a better young man with good standing bcause she doesn't want to accept prince paris's proposal or be wedded to him and arthur was like the chosen one uknow lolol

Hey, this scene here made me think that she wanted to be close to Nox but not necessarily have an affair. But she ended up falling for Arthur lol

Wow hey i just reread this chapter few days ago as well! Understood, and that is very likely budd. Then, was orthez so intrigued by nox's free-spirited way of living that she wanted to get close to him even not as a lover? I can't remember which chapter but can you recall how orthez described herself as "gold in the mouth" and nox as "wind in the back" which are impossible to be united in something like a poem narrated by orthez herself?
if they switch back.. i dont think shu getsu (or whatever her name is) be left unscathed. She committed attempted murder and deceived the royals so honestly i dont know how she will survive all these ordeals albeit manipulated but she still did it.
