We're almost at the ending and people are still complaining about this as if it wasn't clear enough from the beginning that he will end up with the Emperor. And there are so many spoilers here already, what did you expect? ... acting all shocked and all.
I guess we should expect a hiatus now after every freaky chapters , I just wish she could've announced sooner, I lost sleep cause of this (not proud!)
I like mpreg and I have no doubt that we'll see it happening here later, but I don't think it'll be Milton because he already has Milo. I think him having another baby would take away from his relationship with his son, which I believe would be his main storyline. It just make so much sense that way, I mean we have established pairs already — Uncle A and Fluffy, G and Q, maybe Little A and Kendrick (#delusional), and finally Milton and Milo. And I think K is already being set up for mpreg given how big of an emphasis was given to his dilemma with associating his eggs as babies.
Anyways nachio is absolutely unhinged, you'll never really know what her next move is, so it's hard to make theories.
I know it's not my place to complain since I'm not paying for this, but I can't help but feel frustrated with this adaptation. It started off so well, and the art is stunning, but at some point it just fell off. A lot of the nuances in the novel weren't portrayed in the adaptation, and the pacing is so fast leaving no room to actually feel the development of the MC and ML's relationship. Maybe if I didn't read the novel I wouldn't be cursed with such disappointment.
Wow, the comment section is wild. It was quiet only recently...
For some reasons this is giving me Blood Bank vibes. Both have amazing world building and plot, and the 'us against the world' trope which I love.
"It took a long time... truly a long time to avoid their suspicion. You probably can't even imagine what I did to avoid death back then. I tried to protect Cornell and that mountain..."
The one who suspected Jean most strongly yet also trusted him most strongly was his old friend, Nathan Wickham. While not understanding Jean's attitude on the day of the revolution, Wickham didn't dare suspect that he had hidden the Crown Prince's body. He didn't seem to think that his sometimes boringly upright friend would have thrown ashes on the great work they had prepared for so long. Or perhaps he didn't want to believe it.
"To protect..." That knight, filled with passion for a new world, was so naive.
Nathan Wickham died like that. After the revolution, as the country was being reorganized and various groups arose to fight for their own interests. In that time when pure loyalty and obedience to ideology cast a sharp blade pressuring everyone, he stood on the execution ground for "having elitist thoughts." As the former knight grew older, the purity of his youth faded and he began to become familiar with political power and schemes, he became dangerous, so none other than Jean Erhardt decided to put him on the guillotine.
By then, not many of those who could be called the main figures of the revolution remained, and Cornell was always by Jean's side, so once he made up his mind, it was an easy thing to accomplish.
Is this the world you, or I, wanted?
"Maximin, is it really you?" Looking at Chantelle who had collapsed wailing beside Wickham's head rolling under the guillotine, he thought at some point.
The world after the revolution was different from what the ideology had shown and depicted. A world where everyone held wine and bread in both hands laughing and chattering was not there. It was bloody, full of contradictions and intrigue, and ridiculously, inequality was rampant. Discrimination and violence with slightly changed names lurked everywhere, and some people longed for the past, while others longed for a future that had not yet come... no, that they believed had not yet come.
It was a time when days continued where he couldn't know at all what he should do, or what he could do in that world.
'Nathan. Perhaps you should have been the standard-bearer of the new era.' As he collected the body of his old friend at the deserted execution ground, Jean whispered words to his friend that he probably would never hear again. Maybe the one who should have remained here was you, not me. Maybe that would have been the right choice for everyone. Who could know that answer? Only God would know. But...
'...I must go on further.' Because my hand is still being held.
That was all he could say out loud. He picked up his friend's silent head, made the sign of the cross, and promised alone. I will atone in hell, my old friend. Do not forgive me. I will gladly offer my neck there.
To those going through little A/K withdrawals, go look at the author's stardew valley Bruno/Shane sketches, they look so much like them.

Woah everyone here is good looking, even the extras
Man, I don't know, I just don't care enough for the uncle and the king
Lost all hope for this. I cannot believe I was desperate enough to wait for the paywalled novel chapters to unlock, tragic. The novel is more detailed compared to the manhwa, but that couldn't save the plotline and ass characters - all three of them.
A reminder btw, Chapter 479 is the direct continuation of Chapter 473.
No you don't understand, I am freaking tf out. I never thought Old xian would ever go this far, love her for that! But I can't be the only one who thinks that this isn't the first time they did it, I'm convinced they were already fucking even before He tian left.
Ugh damn it i really really need to see K and Little A as endgame, they look so good together
No matter how i look at it, it just feels like this was straight up axed. Everything was just budding, and suddenly it's the end, what? The art is amazing though, sometimes I wonder if this was actually drawn on paper using colored pencil, it's so dreamy and matches the story very well.
