all i can say is that this was not in novel if i can remember correctly lol. while the part of hestia sitting on the balcony railing(?) and having ideations abt dying and what would happen if she were to die were true, she did not actually want to do it. while she was sitting there, she saw the carriage entering the gate and kaelus prolly saw her and immediately rushed to pull her away. hestia was shocked and lowkey didnt think it was that serious up until she felt him crying. kaelus was not talking at all, visibly distressed and depressed and she did a lot of coaxing to cheer him up and reassure that she wasnt about to kill herself. he didnt show up for work and literally only stayed beside hestia for days. he only brightened up when hestia suggested to leave the capital to focus on them and their relationship. they ended up taking a looooong vacation in the territory they recently acquired, only to come back when something big happened.
i’ll only spoil that much lol. honestly my memory might fail me bc im so unsure if i remembered these sequences correctly. the novel is actually good so maybe you try looking for it if anyone’s interested.

(spoilers)
yeah but that scene happens in the novel at around the most recent chapters of the manhwa with kaelus coming home from telling the crown prince he doesnt want diana to be abdicated. they prolly moved it earlier for the manhwa bc they planned to add this scenario of hestia losing consciousness lol. to be fair, the novel did gloss over hestia’s existential crisis so i guess this is a way to make up for it.

it’s so devastatingly sad that mc had to experience those things in order to come to that realization. it takes such strength to recover from something so debilitating and become someone’s light and rock so they don’t have to experience the worst of it. she’s been such a gift to everyone she’s closest to at this moment :’)

she needs to save herself from heartaches (and us from headaches) by leaving his ass for good. like that’s not even his child so why the fuck is he so invested, and he’s not even seeing that it’s posing a problem in their relationship. you’re about to start a family with your fiancée and you don’t know how to establish boundaries what the fuck

tbh i feel like they’re pressuring themselves to be together bc they feel like they need to hurry to settle down bc of their age. fuck society for ever letting us feel that it’s “too late for love”
also it just goes to show that it’s one thing to admire someone for their work ethic and how reliable they are at a professional setting, but actually experiencing who they are behind closed doors is another. the tatsuo chapters showed us for who he is beyond the surface— a trash of a lover and a man.

You're absolutely right. I could feel her relief when she returned to her work after the whole tatsuo debacle. He is not a good lover that's for sure. Making sure she comes is not equivalent to loving her right. Just a part of it. She better chose the man who can be her oasis rather than a dumbfuck who treats her like a subordinate even at home.
does anyone have reccs that are similar to this? especially leaning on the insane, yandere-like partner lmao bl/gl/hetero is ok
It's not as crazy yandere/mental health focused as this, but I highly highly recommend this!!
