Every now and then I remember that this dude canonically fucks people to death and I have to burst out laughing. His character is honestly so ridiculous
And that makes him unique.
No, you got it wrong. The exact translation is, he has nine concubines and none of them survived. If you read the novel it’s because they’re all poisoned by the princess. He casually sleeps with men and women, but he didn’t fuck them to death. It’s just that he didn’t care about their death, and he just keeps on replacing his concubines, knowing what the princess did. And it all changed when Shen Yu become his new concubine.
Is there anywhere I can read this legally?
yeah, netcomics. Read the announcement page in ch 35.
I see a lot of people criticising this saying that the Prince only likes Marie because of her powers. I don’t think that’s the case.
I think the Prince NOTICES Marie because of her powers; how else would a Crowned Prince take notice or care about a low ranking palace maid who isn’t even working in the same palace as him? But I think he has fallen for her because of her own personality. Think back to when she first met him without the mask when she was working in the garden. She wanted to do something nice for him and baked him biscuits (she may not have known HOW to bake, but it’s the thought that touches peoples hearts).
Then she volunteered to take Oscars punishment. Yes, she used her powers to clue together the crime, but it was her heart that made her take his place, not knowing if she’d be beaten or imprisoned. Again, it’s her heartfelt sincerity that touches the heart.
After she becomes his maid they spend a lot of time together, and I can only assume they get to know each other. This wouldn’t have been possible without those powers, but I still don’t believe that the Prince ONLY likes her because she’s useful. It’s because she’s useful that he’s been able to spend more time with her and get to know her as a person.
this is such a good explanation :)
Lol you're describing still all things that she's done for him... even when they "spend time together" she's doing stuff for him... what has she done for her? on the contrary she's feeling trapped by him and is constantly trying to escape his palace. Even if he really has feelings they're all one sided. She's supposed to fall for him only because he's the prince.
She only feels that way because she thinks if he finds out who she is he will kill her, while in fact he wishs to marry her as the princess of her fallen country. Plus, she was called a saint in her country even before she had her powers, her powers were a gift because her dream has always been to help as many people as she could.
That's right. She is having dreams recently after she becomes a Maid. But when she was a princess she didn't have that dream and she was also neglected cuz she is born from the king and maiden right. Even though she was neglected she was so kind to the commoners and helped them so much that she was called a saint.
I’m too scared to start this… I’m waiting until I get spoilers that they have a happy ending
“Taesung can’t be the son of the ceo… they just have the same last name and look literally identical, but I’m sure it’s a coincidence” okay sure buddy, your thinking skill is why you’re relying on gold digging instead of getting a promotion.
Why do I have the feeling that this new girl is actually a guy? Maybe it’s the thicker, darker eyebrows, but the face looks really masculine for some reason.
Woah, I didn’t even realize until you said it. She actually does look a bit masculine.
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING!
Omg I didn’t even notice until I went back..you may be right! That’s probably why he was looking at her like that
glad that i wasn't the only one who thought that :-)
Ugh, I was just starting to get into the political palace arc after being reluctant for many chapters, and NOW they introduce yet another character who’s an evil *itch. Please just sort out one thing at a time, I really can’t with the “evil other woman” trope on top of everything else.
Imo it was perfect until the jealous bitch appeared and now they ruined it
Honestly, I hate the “evil other woman” trope so much. Most of the time when manga/manhua’s introduce it I don’t hesitate to drop the story: that’s how much I hate it.
Akatsuki no Yona has been my favourite manga for many years and that’s literally the only reason I didn’t immediately drop it once I saw the new character. I hope she’s not going to be relevant for too many chapters.
Look I like a lot of stories with yandere/toxic semes, but this guy is giving us literally nothing to work with. Tell me why I’m supposed to like him? Just one reason. He’s not even good looking ╥﹏╥
I feel you! ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
But I find it kind of nice that the General isn't the typical "better looking than the uke"
