does this idiot have no concept of engagements/marriages?
but ok i'll give him some leeway
although og!villainess was manipulated by circumstances and the people around her, she still DID poison og!FL. so his animosity as og!FL's older brother is still understandable
but once all this is cleared up and he doesn't deign to apologize or act civilised & cooperate w/the practical plans our FL has, then i wish him a painful death










-SO!
this conflict between nine and melissa wasn't just created for the sake of creating another problem to overcome but to pave the way towards mutual feelings
