I KNEW IT you couldn't kill her!! And dang it Claude, I knew it you used dark magic like you would alcohol and beer when you want to forget. damn! ┗( T﹏T )┛
Maybe if Diana didn't die, Claude would still have his emotions and imagine how spoiled Athy would be (as if she's not spoiled now). (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ Athy really is the daughter of Diana and Claude, she has both personality and traits from them (being good in her studies coz wanted to be praised - like her dad, and being cheeky, fearless, stubborn like her mom) (▰˘◡˘▰).
Ahh~ Soul Cleansed.. I'm getting ready bc it feels like angst will come soon; it's too peaceful here folks
So by far this is how I understood the story:
We have Ikuro, Ranzo, Sachiko, and stupid Norihiko.
Ikuro our protagonist grew up neglected by his father and abused by his mother, his father was always spending his time in the "dungeon" where someone "like a mantis" or monster was kept being hidden; and his mother got sick in the head bc of that.
Fast forward in the present, mother died followed by the father. Now Ikuro discovers that "the monster" locked up in the hidden room behind their house is his older brother which he just found out he had one. This brother got everything in the inheritance left by their father (according to the will) and nothing was left for Ikuro.
Norihiko, this stupid fucker was a long time servant in the Tōma's house even before Ikuro was born. I don't know what's his deal but it seems like he also slept with Ikuro's mother before, and now he groomed Ikuro up to adulthood to be his "toilet" and plaything.
Norihiko basically manipulates Ikuro since Ikuro has somewhat experiences a not so happy childhood; traumatized by his mother so he is afraid of women, hates his family(and his brother more so), and he has daddy issues (like mental or something because of what he witnessed when he was a child).
So flashback to what really happened to Ranzō, so far what the story showed us was that Ranzō loved his brother Ikuro even before and that's the last memory he has before he went ill. He was choked to dead by Ikuro's mother (because of jealousy), but miraculously survived but his mentality remained as a child since then. He was unable to speak as he was locked up by the father after the incident (not sure if he was also molested by the father ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ ).
And for sure this is the reason why the father's will was to only give the inheritance to Ranzo and his children and nothing for Ikuro.
Now we are just waiting what will happen as Sachiko (Ikuro's arranged wife) decides to teach Ranzō to speak so he can aid Ikuro; bc as we can see Norihiko is basically ruining the Tōma family and having old boomers rape Ikuro and arrange everything in the company(not sure if he has grudges or what).
This is the first time that I was actually disgusted by the seme like dafuc dude just die and let Ikuro live happily ever after with Ranzō and Sachiko. #-.-)
People saying that shipping a thousand year old man with a literal kid is a no no
Basically Lucas is just like a Vampire, he may not be immortal but he doesn't age, I don't get those people who see him as a great great grandfather of Athy like bruh
In the 12 years I've been watching Anime and reading mangas, manhwas, and BL's; I've read tons with ML's/FL's the age of your ancestor, but if they not human what does it matter ?
And IMO characters who lived long/immortal means they have so much wisdom and experience. Lucas's confidence, and the way that he still has that young personality despite being so mature is so damn attractive. Like he oozes elegance without much effort, the perfect black knight for the princess.
I'd rather keep Ijekiel as a pet or somethin' no shade ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~ just my pure and honest opinion, no hate spread love and stay sanitized ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
okokok this may be a spoiler to you but...
so athy is has actually been reincarnated i believe like 3 times
(maybe more tho idk)
so... the first time was her in the story (were she was killed by Claude), second time was her past life, and the 3rd one is now. if im wrong please correct me. she just doesn't remember so technically shes pretty old too. i dont know too much on this matter cause someone else told me. but you know what this means lucasxathyyyyyyyy with no FBI
Whenever I see Anastacius overlooking Jeanette; I can only think if he's not feeling guilty or somethin' that what he did to Claude when he betrayed him coz of Jealousy is coming back to bite his own daughter.
Now Jeanette is the one losing things one by one, getting betrayed, being used and getting desperate to receive affection from family.
The things Anastacius did caused his daughter to be born a being a living curse, and also carrying karma from his dad and mom's bad deeds.
Not sure if Jeanette will choose to go down the same path, as it seems like everything that's been boiling inside her, feels like it's gonna explode anytime soon. ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
Everyone is saying that Claude only liked Athy bc she acted endearing. Hmmm
--- We don't know what actually happened in Claude's life ---only bits and pieces about being betrayed--- but we do know it was all done by his own blood ---and we all saw that his brother wasn't even that hostile towards him when they were children---
--- When he forgot Athy (bc of the curse) he was torn bet. killing her or letting her live. I think he actually likes Athy (he's a tsuntsun sometimes) since he failed to kill her in the Ruby Palace in their already two lives. He was also torn on trusting her or hating her since he has history on family killing and betraying each other---- he thinks Athy is using him (bc she has his blood) and he was bewitched by her. ---he got to that point bc he could not believe that he'd gone soft after suffering multiple times---
--- But after humiliating Athy at his Bday Bq. he saw something in Athy's eyes ---which only resulted in his mind torture--- torn on wanting to kill her (honestly he tortures himself too much) so that Athy being able to stand up to his Father while looking him dead on the eyes, Claude's conscience and reasoning is slowly leaning towards ---not killing his daughter---
--- After calming down, and not being tortured by the pain on his head ---despite STILL not remembering Athy--- he let her come back as he realize he was actually worried. So I don't think he only liked her coz she acted endearing, coz she did not act endearing after Claude forgot her but he still failed on killing her.
I still can't find a reason why he can't kill her, if he wants to he could've already. Like barriers are nothing to you Claude, you can use black magic duh. ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍ Athy's just a teenager. Like everything is obvious, most manwas I've read are so clichè like the world only cared because the FL changed her tactics. Not this one, there's an explanation for everything, that's why after everything I've read by far WMMP is still the best imo. I can never get tired of this one. ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄







The fact that we were waiting for this moment that we are officially gonna be meeting that spirit and those speech bubbles it's so creepy... the lights are out in my room coz I'm supposed to sleep after this why you gotta put the spirit's face in a close up with thos creepy eyes.
