I just found and finished this today and I got some shit to say
1. this whole trope of "psycho with killer tendencies meets bunny" is like ???
2. he is blatantly trying to monopolize her and its ~~t o x i c~~
for those of you having trouble looking past his face, imagine some ugly guy trying to pull the same shit and then get back to me
3. its super rushed and info gets thrown around in an unorganized way so it kinda fumbles the storytelling just a tad bit imo

I agree w this, and that’s why I’m dropping it. I was really into it in the beginning and was excited to see the story play out but I’m honestly just so disappointed now. Every chapter is like him saying she’s cute and her saying he’s handsome and then him doing some killer stuff and then going back to being charming. That’s it. That’s all the chapters. It’s just disappointing how shallow it is

"a man who likes someone wouldn't act like Ian", listen sis, has it ever occurred to you that Ian is a virgin who doesn't know what to do with his feelings yet ??
I don’t understand how she can continue to invalidate his feelings despite knowing the fact that this dude is like a brick wall with no emotion, and then the one time he professes this profound notion that he has feelings for her she's like "lol no u don’t". like what would he gain by liking you at all? you're dead-ass a maid with no title, why would he lie? he's a mf stud muffin, stop thinking with your brain and take your pussy's opinion into account,
also bitch, you said you wanted to drop the subject and leave and then your mad that he's not coming after you?? girl please (edit: I just wanna clarify that I LOVE Kate, shes my favorite next to Ian in fact, but this aint the move and is sexually frustrating to watch)
lastly, that trick ass bitch ass maid, for the love of God go get some dick or sumn and stop being so hung up on Kate. it's not cute and you look desperate.

I get what your saying (and for the last statement about that utterly frustrating maid with to much time on her hands) but for Kate I think it’s important to consider her point of view then look at her words.
If you take her ‘like’ to be, well-like love in it sincerity, then he won’t like her. She means he doesn’t like her enough to be with her, he has a passing crush. And why wouldn’t he, we all start there then once you’ve been together longer (not necessarily dating) it grows to passion and love.
She says here that ‘like’ isn’t enough for her, which is right. At the beginning where he only fancies her, if he meets opposition (say from parents or community) then his feeling won’t be strong enough to keep holding on to her, then they will break up and her reputation will have been ruined for nothing.
Other than considering these I don’t have anything else to ask you to do ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ hope it doesn’t sound like I’m ranting at you. The fact that she was all ‘see your not chafing after me so you’ve don’t like me’ toooooooootally showed that she wasn’t him to chance her because she does like him. I wish she wasn’t so smart all the time and would just BE WITH HIM ALL READY.
So totally on your side here but don’t hate her for me k xx

you got some valid ass points and I agree mostly. I totally get that she has this "bUiLd a wAlL" mentality when it comes to her feelings, but her invalidating Ian isn't the move yk ? she has a long way to go and I have no doubt that they'll end up together so if im just gonna have to rough it until some third party butts in and tells them some profound statement that changes their respective outlooks. and I do NOT hate her, I actually love kate and her "im not taking your shit" attitude. I have a tendency to not let shot slide even if it's my favorite character doing it. if someone is in the wrong im gonna call it out or divulge my feelings on the matter.

oh no hes sick !1!1!1!1!1!1!1!
I hope it hurts :)
honestly, I hated him so much then I was indifferent and now I'm just annoyed with him. like the audacity. he has no right to act as familiar with them as he does and I genuinely hope he feels like shit.
also, idk why she's going so far to help despite the ptsd she's getting.
sis, there's no redemption in terms of morality for him. getting reintroduced is literally gonna open up old wounds and cause such a great amount of emotional distress. she needs to move on from him in every sense.

I think that's the point. Her helping him even though he hurt her so much just shows how strong she's gotten. Yes, she wouldn't do that for just anyone. Same situation, she wouldn't do it for Kumji, and she wouldn't do it for Hiyou. Neither one of those enemies hurt her as terribly as Soo Won did. and yet she does it for him, because unlike those two, along with the countless others she's fought against, Soo Won is good for Kouka. As much as I hate him, and as much as she probably hates him, he is a good king. He takes care of her people. He wants to protect them. So he is useful to her for now.
I don't think it's their old friendship, I think it's the fact that this person who protects and cares for the country she loves is in pain, and she will always help someone like that.

I like the way your brain works and I agree with the first part but i disagree on the last part. I genuinely think its bc of their past that shes like this. that deep emotional trauma is such a realistic aspect of her character and I've seen the same situation happen so many times first hand. also, off-topic but I like how deep you delve into the subject, you make for good conversations :)

"we're still talking about that"??? sis wydm "wE'rE sTiLl tAlKinG aBoUt tHaT" we never talked about it to begin with. the fist time he confessed she dead ass invalidated his feelings and now she unknowingly managed to get him jealous enough to confess again. I can't wait for her to be all in love with him and shit later on and just be like (⊙_⊙ ) the whole time

im honestly a little shocked that she knew bc I genuinely thought she was just dense. any way I agree with the head maid lady, tho it might seem drastic and a bit harsh there isnt any other way to remedy the situation that I can think of. also elenora is such a irrelevant ass character imo. ibee hun, her meeting whats his face isnt gonna make her fall for him if she and doras cousin end up together anyway, so just self care and dw about her.

Dayum, that sounds really good! I'm not normally one for pancakes, if I'm going to have something like that I usually make home-made Belgian Waffles:
1 cup of flour
1/2 tablespoon of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/4 cup of oil
1 egg separated
1) Mix the dry ingredients together and make a well in the centre
2) Pour the egg YOLK and other wet ingredients into the well and mix it together (adding 1/2 the milk at first and then gradually adding more as you mix)
3) Mix the egg WHITE in a different bowl until stiff, and then gently fold the resulting foam into the rest of the batter with a spatula.
It sounds complicated, but actually only takes me about 10 minutes to make and is SUPER yummy ;)
the duke before he met Adel: *a y/a ml who's brooding all the time*
Adel: you would smile more !!
the duke after listening to Adel: *nice to people and smiles*
Adel: he obviously doesn't love me and sees women as playthings, just look how he got that maid to fall for him
the duke's clueless virgin ass: Adel is just the most amazing girl in the world I can't wait to marry her (▰º◡º▰)
