Heyyy so since it seems ppl wanted spoilers and some more information I'm just going to copy and paste the og write up I made of the whole plot so ppl don't have to go in that previous thread and read my multiple comments lmao. Here's some more info and backstory and some more context for you guys. It's long as hell tho sorry lol

Seyard and Keitha go on a official date. It's all cute and stuff, he gives her too many gifts, she's ashamed of hers, all that classic stuff I'm sure we're all familiar with. The notable parts are 1. They go to a show and Keitha compliments the violinist, Gabriel and 2. Keitha gives Seyard a handkerchief that she wove his initials into. He makes a face but it quickly changes and he says he's thankful.

Later, for their engagement prep, Keitha finds Seyard hired Gabriel as their violinist for their engagement ceremony and that Seyard is sponsoring him to continue his education in a country focused on music. Keitha also thinks Gabriel has a crush on Seyard.

Yeah, anyways Keitha goes to the princesses teaparty to deliver their engagement invitation to the princess. There's some conflict but it gets to her and the princess opens the invitation to be shocked and suspicious. Keitha can't find anything wrong with the invitation but discards the event as the princess just being upset about their eventual marriage.

Keitha tries to get close to Gabriel out of guilt bc she didn't want to make him play at the ceremony of his unrequited love. Seyard notices this and gets jealous and intimidates Keitha to try to find out what they've been talking about. Keitha says it's Gabriel's personal matters.

During the engagement ceremony, Keitha overhears Gabriel talking to someone saying that he'll have a serious convo about their feelings. Keitha, thinking Gabriel is going to confess his love to Seyard, follows him to his rendezvous. She finds it's actually Gabriel and Princess Arta and that they were secret lovers. Gabriel laments to Arta about how he can't continue bc he wants to be free of this relationship to continue his career and stop their toxicity. Arta responds by threatening and saying "he'll never escape her" and continuously assaults him until he would admit that he'll give up on his plans. Keitha tries to interrupt this to save Gabriel but Seyard pops out of nowhere and holds her back telling Keitha she'd just make the situation more complicated. She agrees.

The next day, Gabriel requests that Seyard find an escape route and refuge where the princess will never find him, even tho it means he can't continue his violinist career. Keitha and Seyard agree and Gabriel gives the parting words of telling Keitha that you always comes first when it comes to love. He successfully departs.

The next day after this the princess arrives unannounced to their abode and looks in all of the rooms saying she's searching for something. Of course, she comes up with nothing and snidely remarks how it's "interesting that both brothers have identical tastes in women". Seyard makes a face but changes the subject and gets her to leave. The comment leaves Keitha confused but she brushes it off.

This is where things get a bit messy cause I was skipping around here sorry .

Seyard and Keitha confess their love to eachother and it's all happy and nice.

On a date of theirs, they go to see a play and Keitha says how she thinks the lovers suspicions were reasonable and even tho the two lovers in it forgive eachother she didn't think the fl's were her fault. Seyard disagrees and tells Keitha that he believes "love and suspicion do not belong together". Keitha really takes this to heart and this theme STICKS AROUND

Keitha gets granted a key from Seyard that unlocks all the rooms to his house. But tells her not to open one door specifically, for any reason. She is suspicious, but respects his privacy(literally the Bluebeard tale)

I'm not sure if this is the same date or not but Seyard and Keitha run into what seems to be an old friend of Seyards from the monastery (I kinda forgot this guy's name and I just remember it starts with an O so I'm just gonna call him "O" lmao) the next day, Keitha sees in the newspaper that a guy matching O's description was stabbed to death, interesting

I skimmed through the entire novel that is translated because I hated the cliffhanger and the plot went an entire different direction than I was expecting. I know there isn't very detailed spoilers atm so if anyone is like me and really wants to know what happens feel free to comment under this and I'll respond with the deets. However, I will warn that the spoilers pretty much change your entire perception of the story so if anyone does want spoilers look at your own discretion.
