Omygod how sweet of him! He loves him regardless of anything and is willing to wait.
The mom said he was more like her than his dad. Hopefully this means that he won’t turn out to be the monster his father was (who imprisoned a woman and forced her to bear his child)
NooooOoo! I’m going to be so sad when he find out she’s the witch! I just want more honeymoon time
Bruh. In the end the King still technically chose Serapi. He chose Serapi before when they were falling of the tower because she had all the divine powers he needed. Now he saves Nina who has all the divine powers. Yes he loves her but I don’t really care if he does? He only saved her because it was convenient. It would have been so much better if he still chose Nina while she was of no importance to the empire. If she didn’t have the divinity to heal him.
Wym? He told his soldiers to save serapi at the tower and he himself jumped in the water and saved nina she just didnt and hadn’t realized it. At this moment he doesn’t know that she has all of the divine powers even she didn’t know till the real Nina cage told her so how would he know. He doesn’t know the backstory of the church and what they had been doing like Nina and Serapi now do, I would have like if he put his feeling into action a better and more understanding way yes I don’t think he was that terrible there’s been worst MLs
Yeah that’s the point. He himself went to save her. That’s one person. What’s one person going to do? Especially an untrained person. Her chances of surviving increase exponentially the more people involved in the effort to save her. Thankfully he did manage to save her. But still.
Also I know he doesn’t know she has her divine powers. With that said it would have been more intresting so see how the ML would end up choosing Nina despite the fact that it was disadvantageous for him to do so.
Also yeah I agree- he’s definitely not the worst! He’s just too realistic and practical for me! I love unrealistic endings. Nina and him couldn’t work out if she didn’t have divine powers but thankfully the author is giving her the divinity. But then again maybe he would have tossed away all practicality for the sake of love…
You have to remember he is a king before he is a human.. his feelings don't matter if he can't make his kingdom benefit from it. In other words he is in the same boat as Nina they both want each other but know the consequences if they end up together.. not only does Nina not have power but people don't want to follow a king who can not provide or benefit from..now.all though he did sent his people to save Serapi he himself jump knowing full well he rather die trying to save his true love not to mention if he were to order to save "a nobody" he would put Nina at a disadvantage of eternal criticism
Um IK UR NOT CALLING THE KING AN UNTRAINED PERSON? He’s literally the strongest person in the kingdom, it’s one of the reasons the pope ran away cuz he didn’t want to get into a fight with him there and why the church doesn’t wanna fight him. He human yes but he has magic powerful magic at that but it makes him ill when used divine powers heals him which is why seraph was there in the first place. Also nina did always have some power she was able to put him sleep and let him rest better which did help him a bit and heal her own small wounds also poison tester/(spy) which was why she was bought into the palace in the first place at the start of the manga. so I honestly don’t think he would have ever thrown her away for serapi, idk maybe I was reading the last few chapters differently from everyone. I think from the moment he had told her she wasn’t allowed to leave to his fight with that knight to telling his younger brother to stay in the palace he had already made his decision the problem was outside factors such as the knight and his country what to do as far his ppl and his powers cuz his magic is a problem as well one that she couldn’t solve at that time obviously but now she probably could but he doesn’t know that but anyway his magic was the reason he needed seraph not because he was in love her. Also u do know there was a spell protecting the place they was hidden at in the last chapter right how do u think he got in there if he was “untrained” like come on
He is untrained. He was born and trained to be a king not anything else? We all know he’s the strongest. But he didn’t use any powers to save Nina so what use was magic in that situation?
Also I never implied or said that the King loved Seraphi. It was pretty obvious he did not. And as for the whole thing with the knight and the brother yeah I am aware he decided to keep her by his side. But not as his partner or his equal. And she would have been miserable. Hence why people were willing to help Nina escape the palace and the King.
He is not untrained, what are u talking about man?? She fell in the water from the tower and he jumped into the water and saved her, swarm back to the top with her?? He’s trained to be a king and for fighting what are u talking about? Do u think he’s like weak?I don’t understand what u mean by “untrained” I would think he’s more train at everything more so then the soldiers BECAUSE HES THE KING. Did u not read the chapter when he fought the knight? Again the barrier in the recent chapter was broken by him and only him to get to her, also I think his powers are dangerous which is probably part of the reason it makes him ill i think it has something to do with fire from the first couple of chapters of the story so magic wouldn’t have been helpful there（/TДT)/ . Also at the end of my last reply I mention those things because I felt like he was coming to terms with having to make a decision on what he needed to do as king and what his true feelings were imo
Ok but what would have happened if he didn’t find her among all the rubble. And yeah he’s untrained. If you google the verb train it says “teach (a person or animal) a particular skill or type of behavior through practice and instruction over a period of time”. He is the king. Why would he be trained for disaster relief? That’s menial work. And as you just stated he’s trained to be a king and to fight well. And then again as you said when he fought the knight he showed his skill in fighting. Yes I know why you mentioned those last things but they are not strong points of argumentation since I never mentioned it. You even used the words “not because” which implied you were refuting an idea-my idea. Which is why I mentioned that.
Not disaster relief. I meant to say search and rescue. Since they respond to urgent situations and not the aftermath.
Chapter 82-83 is when this happened, he was very emotional and chose to go save Nina himself and ordered for his soldiers to save the saint we can see I don’t think it was something dangerous to do or something someone “untrained” would do one would think he’s obviously capable of saving her since he DID do so, there are many survival skills u learn on the battlefield and any other places not just fighting keep in mind that this is a manga, fantasy etc. and rubble? u can clearly see the building hadn’t fallen down in the chapters I mentioned there was damage, a hole and rubble u see Nina holding the saint up using her hand the king says for the knights to save the saint first which I can’t blame him for why because not only is she the saint she’s supposed to be a “guest” of his empire but also because when they do fall she’s hitting the ground first and Nina’s a maid no matter his feeling for her. Afterwards they do fall, Nina falls into water and the king dives in to save her. The only other person actually worried for Nina’s safety was the kings brother, the knight might have asked who to save first but if the king had said “save Nina first I’ll save the saint” Nina would be upset that he chose to save the saint over her ( btw she still doesn’t know that he saved her) and if he said “save Nina first then save the saint” and just did nothing and was on standby and gave out orders all hell would break lose rumors and shit and Nina would be in the center of it all. So I think it was more that his feeling took over atp seeing her in danger seeing how emotional he was he chose to save her himself and he’s like remembering some of his past and stuff But anyway like I said I don’t really get why u say he’s untrained like he isn’t supposed to have survival skills, combat any other type of skills as a king. As a king or even when he was a prince anything can happen to where u may need to learn something new anytime or anywhere. This will be my last time responding

Omy gosh! They are so cute. My heart kept fluttering this chapter. I wish the hiatus gives the author the strength to keep continuing to give is more awesome content
Guys, please don’t wish that Jaekyung will get his ass whooped. Cause we all know Kim Dans going to suffer the consequences and have his ass shredded. Gosh I hate how Jaekyung completely disregards Dan’s feelings. He should try getting rammed in the ass with no prep. See how he’d like that.
I’m tired and disappointed. What happened? The story and art was a masterpiece in the first season. I will continue to read this in the hopes of it recovering that level of perfection
what are u talking about the author is focusing on world building and fleshing out character personalities. the story and art are still masterpieces. if u don’t like storytelling, just say that.
I loved the dark and serious vibe of the first season. As if this manhwa is not the same one where a character like dandelion got killed. And what was the curse of the king before he was killed? Were they just empty threats? I was expecting Wolfgang to turn into a bit of darkness because of his bloodline and maybe to protect Shin... Stuff like that
Yes but good work building is concise, closely related to the plot and central theme. It seems as though there is no central theme. The character development is also thinly spread out since there is no strong enough focus on any character. Good work building is more of an opportunity to add more depth and reality to the work of fiction. Works that have executed world building include the Lord of the Rings books.
Good storytelling includes plot, setting, characters, point of view, and conflict. It is no surprise that creating a story with many pov is hard and rarely done well. So I don’t fault the author for that. As for “fleshing out character personalities” there is not enough focus on any one character. This causes the characters to not be well drawn out. Also the main characters are Shin and Wolfgang. And now it seems as though the daughter should also be a main character. I don’t know. Their appearances are not long enough. And the story doesn’t have a consistent through line anymore. Why?
Also why would I say I don’t like storytelling? I do? It rather seems like you don’t understand what storytelling is or what makes up a story.
Sorry to say that. Anyhow this is listed as one of my favorite Manhwas so I’m dedicated to finishing the story. And as any good observer to a story I do pay attention to all of the story’s elements as any analysis can contribute to the works meaning.
Yeah! Exactly. There is no throughline
As much as I agree with you that the newer season seems hollow and tame compared to the first 2, I don't think it's fair to compare them. This new season is an epilogue/side story, shin and Wolfgang's story is finished by all means, and the recent chapters are focusing more on the newer generation. Sure with how deep and dark the story goes at times, it's weird to have this overly sugary and sweet season, but then again I don't mind too much
Well this makes sense. His mom had the habit of choking him and he never received any affection from both parents growing up. Studies show that kids who don’t receive physical or emotional affection from others growing up tend to have behavioral issues. This makes sense since kid brains are so malleable. It’s no wonder he learnt to dissociate from his emotions(why he can’t differentiate between feelings).
Let’s have hope! The brain is malleable and can be rewired. I truly want him to break the cycle of abuse that started with his parents.
