That dude from the workshop works for the evil medicine minister that tried to force ML into marrying his daughter
The evil medicine minister was the one who basically exiled FLs grandfather,
he was commoner medicine maker and cured a nobel he couldn't and as vengeance for that and for the fact that fls grandfather wanted affordable medicine for commoners
he basically scheme and got his family (mum dad and siblings) to abandon him , hurt by that he left the capital
met FLs grandma and they had FLs mum together
Now that dude wants his research thats why that dude said that FL should go out to collect berries he hoped she'd die
So he could go through the stuff she had left from her family ans steal the research the merchant that comes to pick up stuff is also involved
Also the og owner of the shop comes by and rips one into his son for letting the " goose that laid golden eggs go" (he too suxks)
The son asks that if FL was so valued why was she paid so little and made to do everything and he goes "because she never asked for more and did it of her own volition" (like dude u suxx)
Me:Ah yeah so cute my girl is having a slow daily life yeah!!!
*Abduction happens
Me: NOOOOOO GOD NOOOOO DONT DO THIS !!! LET THE GIRLS BE HAPPY PLZ I BEG U
I went to the groups site (i made an acc there) and read till ch7 (i literally payed for ch7 cause it was only free till then) and i absolutely regret it , she feels very naive and slow witted and the dude is absolutely insufferable i get he is only acting like this and lying cause something something super dramatic but he acts all fake edgy and i cringe at that
I love them all so much so so so cute UwU
(Forcibly represses all knowledge of novel spoilers inside my brain
and gets an aneurysm)
I just dont like him cause he is
A) his boss
B)older / age gap
C) close enough to the sister to twist stuff
Like dude is trying to fill a manipulation bingo card here
Im half way through the raws (ch 22ish )
And Scrooge is literally a master of denial he took the "romance miscommunication 'he must be mixing up his feelings for me' " master class and got his phd in it absolutely hysterical he learned from the best
.
.
Also the way the prince bends him over u gotta think that man is about to end him like omg
Does no one watch out for the elderly anymore? (giggle)
.
.
Also it seems like the other Prince ALSO had the hots for him like omg at this point he is the best unintentionally courage this kingdom has ever seen lmao
.
.
Ch22 has Scrooge poisoned at the hunting tournament and the prince seriously sits in the forest floor and starts punching it
And i had to take a break i just laughed too hard at that
Other dudes r cradle thief with young their partners r so i guess we could call the prince a grave robber (lol)
Also i think its hysterical that this is a "otome game" and she was the Villainess to the crown princes route but dude was only kinda there and doesn't actually matters at all lol
I literally had a dial up tone in my head when her parents didn't care about here like?????but yeah
None of this would have escalated like this if they didn't have royal/ nobel kangaroo court and prosecuted that chick probably the first murder attempt around
Does it get better cause im so pissed off at the cat drugging the dude to go on like wtf you obnoxious fcking flea circus
The duke is cute ngl
And he is better off in every aspect especially professionally like look at him redirecting the prince mean while dumbass McGee over here just pissed the prince off and almost caused a fight
