The art is so pretty I just spend so much time admiring it instead of just reading. Also, I love the concept of the apocalypse in this era. It’s pretty unique. Their dynamic is top tier too, and did anyone else notice? Guys are opposite of personality but their eye color is the others hair color and hair color the others eye color. Such cool detail.
I hope we get to see how this started and I wonder if when she tells them the truth she will tell the actual one or make up like a prophecy book. Also, they can’t be too upset about it cause let’s be honest, they wouldn’t have believed her anyways.
Also, I’m guessing Aurora will end up with the OG ML, but am I the only one who thinks they look like siblings?
Also, am I the only one wondering why is the emperor acting like Charlotte is his only daughter? If he cares so much then why not marry Archduke to his legitimate daughter? Like he never even mentioned the possibility of anyone other than Charlotte getting married. Shouldn’t that princess be down for it too? Since that could greatly strengthen her position as he has the highest status in society? It irks me that everyone gotta kiss his ass too no matter what
Is he? Though even if that’s the case, he didn’t consider Duke Alden for her either. Also, then he would be her best option since he’s the second highest one in status, yet she pushed her dumb friend onto him? It just seems kinda dumb, royalty and nobility have to marry and the status of their partner is like one of their largest supports for the throne/title (and for their future children). And she isn’t even considering that? It just seems dumb, like a plot hole.
Archduke is important for strengthening royal power, but Duke Alden didn’t even really strengthen Charlotte’s position. They say like it’s important but it’s so ignored too?
Probably coz killian specifically asked for charlotte and not just any imperial princess. He won the hunting competition and asked for Charlotte and promised to go to war and solve the problem if he is engaged to only her. Emperor agreed coz there's nothing for him to lose. Killian wants charlotte and emperor agrees that he's a better option than adlen, since emperor cherishes charlotte more, he wants her to be with the best man (tho he's completely wrong lol). Its infuriating coz a man gets to have his say on who he wants his bride to be but the woman can't, even though she has higher status than him. Its becoz she has notjing to offer other than to just be a pretty doll.
I would’ve agreed if not for the fact that archduke completely rejected her at first. That’s why she’s with the second best option, but there was no talk that emperor suggested his other daughter for him when Charlotte got rejected. Not only that, but the princess also pushed her dumb friend on him instead of trying herself. It makes no sense. Also, the emperor absolutely does NOT cherish Charlotte. Where did this even come from? He neglected from the start and started favoring her only when she became useful. He wants to use her, she’s a tool and that was made pretty clear. He doesn’t want the best man for her, he wants the best man for his own power. It’s obvious he couldn’t care less about her and only sees her as as much as he has to gain from her. So, I completely disagree.
Okay, I have many thoughts here.
1. The emperor gotta go. Not only is he a deadbeat father, but also a greedy, power-hungry psycho. I don’t see how Cortinians, or however u spell that, are the villains at any point here. I really hope his conquest and atrocities committed by the army won’t be just brushed off. If she inherits the throne then I hope she puts an end to it.
2. Grand duke gotta go, do we even need to explain? Jeez not only is he insufferable, but he ain’t even very significant either. His character honestly makes no sense to me, it’s not very well-rounded.
3. I think I like John the most as a character so far, he seems the most rounded and deep, also has a very interesting chemistry with the FL and is clearly pretty useful and resourceful. I wonder if he has a hidden identity with his trade secrets.
4. Okay… now the ML. Hear me out, I DO like him, okay? But I just think he’s a bit… bland? Like his whole character is just rich, hot and jealous/possessive. He has no depth and for such a powerful man he hasn’t really been useful to the FL much. He hasn’t been of any help when it comes to strengthening her position, she did that all by herself. He’s pretty stuck up btw, with how he clearly looks down on many people, especially commoners and their environment. He’s rather ignorant, wasn’t shown as super intelligent either. I don’t even get why it took them so long to investigate that assassination case? Especially the Fl seemed way too unbothered about it. His PTSD valid, he hasn’t been much of help when it comes to defense either, but that’s an interesting character trait. Just nothing else really made up for it. I wish his relationship with his sister was more explored too.
Overall, I do like the story, but I think characters are pretty superficial, they don’t have much depth. I wish they were more rounded, especially ML. He’s just cliche, but doesn’t really stand out ability wise.
Yeah, I’m dropping it. Not forcing him? Cause “Let me fuck you or get literally tortured/cut to pieces” is such a choice! Like father like son truly. Is author trying to make this look consensual? Do they think that’s somehow not SA? I feel like I would rather have them do it outright than try to paint this as consensual sex buddies and turn it into romance. This is so disgusting I literally felt sick. Fuck that. Good luck to the rest of y’all. Hang in there for the main couple.









I knew it, it just would be too complicated if they weren’t her real family. I hope she tells them everything, including how they made her feel.
Also, what makes the empress so confident that those demons won’t kill her? Such a stupid delusion
The familiar contract afaik, she gets hurt = demon gets hurt, I THINK
Does she have a contract with that most powerful demon?
yeah the empress does i think, thats why she wants to open the hell gate, so the demon can come out in its true form (like the hamster, which i think the trying to open the gate was the reason the hamster got its true form)
Lots of i thinks in here mb, just read the last 3 chaps, its all in there
