...She left Asharan when he just went off to war.. A war that his enemies in the empire wanted him to die in. It did not reflect well on her, it seemed that she abandoned him when she thought she was going to die...
Now coming to the butler, why should he accept her with open arms??? because he's a butler and made of stone???
PLUS, the fact that the first thing from her mouth to him is work and not an apology shows the level of reasoning she possessed....
ON THE OTHER HAND...
we've established that the FL is slow.. just a little bit so.....

I am over this story but stubbornly reading it to know how it ends. Do you get???
I want to know if Khalid troubles her so much that she / her fiance kills him or nah.
Cause if in the end, she kills him then her dad would have died for nothing cause we know in the long game Khalid is somewhat involved in the dad's death...
Plus, I want to see how far her delusions take her cause she believes she can live "quietly" side by side with her murderer... I am curious to see how ...
So just call me nosey Nelly...

… no this is a more realistic reaction. It would have felt force if she came back and they openly accepted her. They might be servants, but they have feelings too, and she trampled on them by disappearing.
I feel the Butler feels most betrayed because he was on her side from the one but he has to keep his emotions on check for his master.
If she wants to be the master of the home, she can no longer just pass by every day .
she has to step up and call all the servants in the house and talk to them give them a summary of why she did what she did . She has to let them have a little understanding so they can actually respect her enough to serve her without prejudice..

...I will read a harem as well as the next person but I am still trying to find the sweet spot in the manhwa where ALL HER BROTHERS (EVEN HER DAD) suddenly decided that they have strong unwavering feelings for her... I just want to understand...
The only one that is actually feasible is her douche husband... at least, he is not suddenly head over heels, he might find her less grating but he is not simping hard like the rest..

I wish Annette would scream in Heiner's face that she's not her father... I do not think she has made such remarks yet.
She just apologizes A LOT...
Baby girl needs to let that out of her chest

Her constant apologising is grating but it wouldn't make a difference to Heiner. He doesn't despise her bc of her father , he admits this himself in the novel during his lacklustre "grovel" scene.
His pathetic reason is simply that she reminded him of how broken & empty his life was. His entire world revolved around her but in their first meeting it's apparent to him that Annete has many things in her life to occupy her and it fills him with a feeling of inadequacy that quickly turns into resentment
....to delicate flower that gets bruised from being touched by a hand fan...
Before y'all come for me, do you know how hard one has to be brushed with / hit with a hand fan to show a bruise???? I mean...
I don’t have to get hit hard at all to show a bruise. I just have to bump into something while walking and then boom bruise. My friend pinched me hard one time and I had a bruise for 3 weeks. Some of us are delicate. ╥﹏╥
Which is not the case for her. Isn’t she strong enough to fight demons wym the weak empress hurt her. Doesn’t she have fast reflexes to block. So stupid. I’m kinda getting tired and thinking of dropping this one.
Exactly my point… she remade a whole armoury of weapons and went to war but a simple brush of the tips of the fan …
