does being smart equate to not being good at human relations?
i find it stupid that she didn't think abt how to handle damian's staff. she was quick to notice that almost kidnapping/bandit attack made by the duke but not quick to think that spies might be planted within damian's manor? or maybe she did but it was not covered in this chapter? anyway, it is also damian's fault bc that's his house in the first place.
damian's not yet declared duke but they're complacent as of the moment. Σ(  ̄□ ̄||) is this one of those stories where i should shut my brain and just laugh at their expressions?

if he says he's not dating her then boi will be sleeping outside,
if he admits he's technically dating her and she says no then that's gonna hurt boi
if he surprises people by declaring she's his gf then the story's gonna end soon
if he just says that she's just a childhood friend the girly's gonna be sulky
so yeah, choose your scenario
personally, i'll ask the gods to swallow me so i don't have to answer ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

all those technological and medical advancements and yet the elders are still traditional, what a load of bullsht ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
i mean, this is fun if only reading about him findings ways on how to be strong. but if this "illegitimate child" is still pushed to be his biggest hurdle it's not interesting anymore, bc what'll always see are insignificant men who thinks their opinion actually matters when in fact they haven't even achieved half of what the mc has at 14 yrs old. they'll always push the agenda of he shouldn't be allowed of what the legitimate children has. they need retirement and invest on their funeral plans.

ohhh, that's new. they're communicating with one another. my god i'm so used to trashy mls that when i read one who does the bare minimum i get shocked.
since there's no hiding of feelings that'll be dragged around, i think their conflict will be about her finding what she wants to do and get conflicted with it and her relationship orrr something else. i just hope it's not amnesia sht
glasses dude was so fr when he said the mc is insufferable
glad that there's a character who can somehow slap the mc with reality. i hope the next thing he tells her is she is so stubborn that people around her could help her heal but she (in my opinion) stubbornly holds on to what has been said to her back in her homeland when she, on more than one occasion, had said that her homeland and her now kingdom are separate sht. the only reason i'm trying to understand her is bc she had so little time to sit down and assess everything around her. a month preparation for wedding? add the lessons and constant tea parties. man, that's gonna fry my brain.
now, the plot is certainly not giving her the moment to digest positivity and bask in good sht. how dare a small country demand the empire to return her as if she was some sort of goods that could be refunded. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
