Honestly if she would’ve accepted Ekles’ offer to run away would the story have ended.
Like what did she expect when she decided to take his “route” he is a slave of course you would’ve had to be on the run. That 1% would’ve never filled up because YOU Penelope never accepted his crazy obsession of a love for you. The depth in Penelope character is so amazing but I swear it’s as if she’s an idiot sometimes

well yea but penelope went out of her way to find ekles and made him obsessed with her and is surprise hes obsessed with her. its just common sense, that man was never mentally stable and for her to goad his obsession and not nurture him properly (shes not obligated but she did go out of her way to find). now thats stupid but ofc i dont blame her or you opinion too much bc we never rlly know how a person is going to act

Does anyone know why the duke can’t do jack to Élysée like I don’t know cut her budget, ruin her precious garden, fire her maid… something idk anything he’s a damn duke after all and she’s just his wife. Sure she might come from an influential family but the duke is the lord of the house even if he becomes a tyrant/villain he has the power to make elysees life as duchess hell
I'm not trying to defend the ML but I feel like home boy has been on a 3 year defining fender of course he a lil cray cray.
Also at this point and time he don't give a ffffuueioiokl about SIOs feelings. We knew he was selfish from the start its all about him and what he wants.
Do I believe they will eventually work it out? Yes, Do I think MLs acting out of character? No! Like if anything we should've expected this from him, I'm of course not excited at ALL for all this BS and drama we have in store for us…
I fr just wanted a nice dramatic smut to read but now I'm pissed like bffr its all DRAMA and no SMUT! And I'm sure this upcoming smut is gonna be some non-consensual shi that's gonna piss me off.
