i think they fall in love first sight. And layla not loving kyle is cause of that. If she understood there is man for her kyle is the safest choice. And duke is sooo mean. Eventhough he thought layla is not worthy he doesn't like that layla not mesmerized with him. He is mesmerized to layla cause she doesn't want to be with him. And layla doesn't need man, cause she has uncle. Maybe age gap is big but best man is uncle hhaha (joking, but uncle is hot, and hardheaded but caring(▰˘◡˘▰))
i don't know why, but from the start merchant was the ml for me. On first chapter fl was choosing smthg and only one she can't predict was him. And for fl most safe choice is him too. If she choose crown prince, she will be empress and saint at that. She doesn't want that much attention if i see from her personality. And if she choose pope, i don't know he's little dangerous as i recall he was preparing room for her to stay underground hha. Yea, he is loyal, but not at the start. Merchant is the safest, she will be have happy life i think . And some people like demon will be ml. i can't really picture it. He's just villian in my eyes. Cause plot was becoming little bit bland, and some infact was neccecary, so there is rift i think. Just my opinion. So let's just enjoy the plot (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ









i think ethon tries to do the good deed. He was reminsicing the past about that red haired girl and green haired prince and maybe found a solution about that matter. And yea, this time it was intentional. Look at the ethan's smile. He was trying to ruin the proposal. Go for it
That night he must've cried himself to sleep.
