Honestly I think what gets me about the comment section a lot of the time is that it's really focused on whether they're getting together or not and I think that's fine but I like living in the story moment and sitting here enjoying that we're seeing this guy get portrayed as vulnerable, emotional and on the cusp of a breakdown while he throws his authority around and I think that's neat
Maybe it's just me but the way this manhwa shows us emotions is so enjoyable to read, like you get "male lead running after fl" a dime a dozen but it's usually just about him suffering realizing how much he loves a woman, running after her and going "you can never leave me" etc etc fuzzy borderline yandere feelings
Here it feels like he's lost in a lot more ways, like we just saw a big emotional beat for her when she lives to pursue her own happiness, now we get to see a big emotional beat for him where he's conflating him finding Lily a bit with him being a proper duke and being able to achieve the things he wants to achieve
Sorry this is just a lot of talking I'm just in love with the presentation of this manhwa and I like yapping a lot haha










Tbh it's interesting seeing ml walk away from delacroix and towards the pink haired crazy lady, maybe I'm imagining it but I feel like there's a comparison being made there. He's done a lot of wrong to lily but it's nice seeing them all grow so please let them have some time to heal apart author. They need it
