I love how we don't even need to see the empress face to understand how frustrated she is right now
Also, I'm cheering for Tia, of course, but it's like a game within a game, so I'm cheering for Perez too
Go dude, now's the time to crank up the charm and woo the shit out of Tia
I can't wait for the mindblowing romance build up scenes in the middle of all the equally satisfying political stuff

Hmmm
I think this is actually leading up to some conflict
My theory is He Tian left for a long time without warning and Mo moved on with his life, but still has feeling for him
I don't think Mo will exactly appreciate being strong armed into getting back into a relationship without an explanation or apologies
Like, I have a feeling it will make Mo sad (after making him his usual angry of course)
But He Tian is very good at groveling, so they'll probably make up right after
Anyways
My angst senses are tingling

I'm sure the blond prince will scheme and etc to meddle with their relationship
But I hope he doesn't turn obsessive and dumb like so many stories like to do to their antagonists
He seems smart and emotionally intelligent enough to realize midway that she is love with Tarkan and you kinda can't change feelings tgat easily
I like him enough to wish him a good life away from fl and the plot
If this were bl I'd be hoping he had his own story lol

I love this type of romance
The whole "I would die for you" is cool and all
But would you live for someone? Listen to their insecurities? Navigate misunderstandings with patience? Face each other's shortcomings? Live every single day, the boring ones, sad ones, frustrating ones, with somebody?
Now THAT'S the kinda shit that makes a spectacular love story

Haha I was expecting abigail to get the poisoned apple, to play around the original story
Like, instead of the princess, the "wicked" one gets the apple
But nope, it's EVEN BETTER
The king himself gets the apple LOL
I wonder if he'll wake up with a true love kiss
Maybe it won't even be romantic
I can totally see Blanche giving him a kiss on the cheek or something
May the angst be good, but short lived
