I think... I think I'll give him some grace. Don't get me wrong, I don't like him. His design is bland and he is a bad partner and his personality is trash. But as far as I am concerned my dude can be recycled. There is nothing wrong with wanting your partner to stay close by, medieval long distance might be even worse, but he does not want her to fail. While these wishes are conflicting, that's actually a good start. Be just needs to take a step back here, put his wants at the back of the line anc prioritize her
I think separation, after a LONG ASS TALK, might be the best way for them to salvage their relationship. They can clear up the misunderstanding, he can acknowledge his mistakes towards her and plan to be pen pals for her stay in the other kingdom. If he actually helps her out with the studies until she goes abroad, they might even start their "pause" on a positive note. But even just saying away to avoid any big emotions could also be good.
Now while this author has quite gracefully avoided horrendous tropes, I fear that the cunt Claude might become the second male lead that is barely better than the first and will result in a lot of useless misunderstandings. With a little luck he might be just a platonic friend that gets his head put straight by being next to her... I god please I hope so... At least his design is more appealing
When I saw "Turd", I really hoped that it was a translation error... But i was cackling like a damn hyena too
same here, I thought who tf would name a fictional kingdom turd, its just absurd
I mean I like that she did stop the count (and that she beat his azz, that was absolutely warranted). I would have loved If they mentioned that she is a married woman after all and has to be respectable. She said that she only acted mad around her fine ass husband, but is otherwise collected. It would make sense for her to adhere to the virtues of a wife, even if she doesn't like her very pretty man.
That would do some good to her characterization bc now it seems more like she is a spoiled rotten brat. Hopefully she and her gorgeous husband will be lovey-dovey now. That beautiful man deserves love and affection.
I mean if I woke up one day looking forward to marrying my loving fiancée of many years only to hear that the president promised to force me to marry some random soldier because he accomplished shit on the battlefield, I would also be pissed and maladjusted.
People seem to view her behavior outside the context that he deliberately destroyed her life and forced her to marry him against her will. Yeah, she is really aggressive, but she’s basically being held against her will with no possibility of leaving. Those feelings aren’t just going to evaporate.
He did what he did knowing it would separate her from her love, mess up her entire life, and create a lot of distress and resentment, so I don’t get why people are giving this guy medals for “enduring” the obvious consequences of his unilateral and premeditated actions without dishing out the same.
Also, the bar to earn her trust and affection was comically low. All she needed was a bare minimum confirmations that he had feelings for her and didn’t see her merely as an object to parade around. A less than 5 minute conversation that he apparently couldn’t build up to or hint at within the span of FOUR ENTIRE YEARS.
And I'm here for that... But I don't like the beard. It feels like... randomly spaced out.
That said... GROW THE BEARD
YES YES AND YESSS if it's complete beard then he'll look much better, rn it kinda looks weird
DILF DILF DILFFFFF MHMMMMM (▰˘◡˘▰)
Is it Just me, or did the artist start giving her more looks? Girlie has been looking amazing for some chapters now
It is not just you lolol, im glad there's an improvement in the art, her eyes are a little smaller and like idk the correct art terms, but def better
She could reveal her identity and fvcking lose everything. Right now:
- There is someone hunting her down
- She is married to a man that she does not know
- The contract was made in a way that fvcks her over. Clearly her stepshlt didn't care to advocate for her and the other party is now her husband
- If she even breathes the Word "divorce", they'll take that smexy piece of land from her
If she reveals her identity:
- The people hunting her will have a clear target
- She cannot gauge her husbands actual behavior and personality, bc he needs her to divorce him, so it's either threat or abuse afterwards
- Considering that he probably made that contract there is no damn reason to trust that piece of shlt. Chivalry is dead and he was the executioner. Not to mention that he send her away, took away her money, left her homeless and doesn't even know what she looks like. He is as reliable as a wet 1-layer toilet paper fighting disturbing diarrhea.
- She will have nothing. At that moment, she will be a divorced noble women, with no money or family to trust and her only shelter would be a compromised cabin in the woods, while she has to figure out how to live on hunting and herbal knowledge (better than most, but still fvcking nothing)
The manwha couldn't make the stakes more clear than this, why would anyone think she would be better off by being honest?
I agree! And even if he was reliable... the people around him are clearly not. Not only they cut her money without him knowing, probably embezzled, but even sold the place she was living in without his knowledge? Like, how does that even happen? Someone sold one of his properties without him knowing? Completely unreliable... and tbh... she's smarter than a lot of fls around... I wonder what she'll do from now on...
I think she will gain his trust slowly, or find information to blackmail him or find a common enemy befor revealing anything, unless he find out first.
Whenever I see their past, I can see why our sweetiepie felt so betrayed. They were a cute couple, he thought about her and tried making sweet gifts. In another life this could have been a slice-of-life with them doing their best with each other.
Seeing him suffer now tho.... Hilarious
