The only sibling worth forgiveness is the youngest brother. The sister was a scheming bxtch from a young age and the oldest is a psychopath. In that environment where they don’t have a real parent and even that father figure is cold as ice and his own mentor was a psychopath who tried to teach him how to kill, it makes sense for the youngest brother to turn out so twisted. It seems with Lucia just not snitching on him and protecting him when those books fell, he’s just now more himself rather than what the adults and his own siblings twisted him into.
Only reason I’m staying is because I like her personality and I’m a fan of love/hate relationships. Plus I like marriage schemes. But the direction and executions of some moments, like this latest chapter, lack sense.
… Why am I getting a notification for a chapter that hasn’t been uploaded…?
Anyway, I read it elsewhere. And I’ll say it again for those of you who keep thinking Adelaide is dumb or naive like she doesn’t know both sides of the world she lives in. That’s why she’s capable of seeing Cesare for what he is, where he comes from, and not hate him. I can understand that may be hard to do when we’re reading these stories with the modern day mind, but it’s because of exactly who they are as individuals and everything we’ve known of Adelaide so far that I understand why she wouldn’t hate him and why she’d fall for him against all odds. She’s also well aware of the fact that Esdra would be the better choice (at least that’s what she believes right now), so it’s not like she’s clueless about what a good man looks like. It’s about who made something resonate within her. That’s why I once said neither Esdra nor the knight are for her. They don’t touch the part of her that allowed her to fall for Cesare. There are three very specific scenes in mind that drew her there, and two of those involve the first time they actually had real conversations about society and their backgrounds together. She’s very clear headed as she makes the choices she makes. Did Cesare F around and is now finding out? Yes. Is Adelaide in love with Cesare? Probably. Is she fawning over him? Nope. She’s taking charge instead of just waiting around for a deal they made who knows when. Cesare has never been described as being a good guy, but the way some of you are appalled 60-66 chapters down the line is just incredibly odd to me. He’s been nothing but himself from the very first chapter. Unapologetically Cesare… though I suspect he’ll be apologizing some time soon lmao.
Thank you! I love seeing your comments. They often make me ponder the story in a novel way; we share similar tastes in stories.
thank you!!
Really liked the exchange between the Marquess and our MC and between the Marquess and his daughter. Solemn depth in there. Made me want to write some smart shxt.
I would’ve told him to speak his peace in the hallway. The ML is annoying me beyond reason. The fact that he irritates me more than the red head bxtch sure says something.
Love the excuse her former guard/father figure came up with though, so she can stay in each other’s lives even after everything blows over.
sameee he's annoying me bad.
He literally makes me see red tbh
Like how he’s so shameless and so sure of himself too
You don’t get to ask questions. The fact that the only reason why they’re going after the Numbers is because they won’t work for them just pisses me off. Mofos so scared of competition, they’re going after 10 kids (yes I know they’re deadly kids, but still).
Jin was the almost youngest but since he's 19-20 now....I can't remember which one of the numbers but he was same age as jin's sister.
Love it. This whole kingdom she’s building, it’s giving me the same vibe as “ The Male Leads Trapped in My House” which is a story I also really love and it has the added bonus of a strong FL (both physically and mentally). I’m good with Reikhart being the only ML. Cyril, the man she loved, doesn’t look like anything special.
My best guess from reading the 8 chapters + comments: ML and his sick sister were the children of the wife. And instead of loving them like he did the FL and her mother, their father abused the ML and his sister. Hence why he asked if her father used to beat her and he said he was jealous because she experienced something he never would. Unless the author is twisted enough to truly make it incest, the ML is probably not the father’s biological son.
Yes, I too would be creeped out… but since it isn’t happening to me, that confession bit was hilarious to me. Can’t wait for him to find out that it’s t the phone, but the ML that keeps ghosts away. At least I hope it’s the ML
Bro, I’m trying to figure out if I want to read this and the comments make it sound like it’s practically a comedy show
Cause you'll be laughing constantly and be like "omg they did not just do that"
I definitely did
