nah, fuck soma. if he truly loves wataru, he won't fucking pursue and lead him on while still having lingering feelings for someone else. It's not a complex problem, it's just a tic tac toe. It'll only leave both of them butthurt at the end.
Wataru's got a choice, either have some self respect or get his ass led on.

Ngl, Sion/Siennas has that unnatural political intellectual and potential to be a true king as he's destined to be. He was fumbling at first and relying on his subjects' words but now he can make critical decisions by himself about ruling his nation. It's pretty amazing, considering his upbringing and background.
Perhaps he has experienced the woes of the commoners himself but he genuinely cares for his subjects as as what a ruler should be.
My favorite part about this is the servants. I rlly love how they're having their own movements in the background as the story progresses. It's adorable how their eyes sparkles when Sion/Siennas treats them nicely.
Also, it's crazy how Parvell was playing a funeral music for Leo when he was 3 y.o. Shit was wild and Leo surprisingly grew up to be fine.

AGREE!! So that's the thing Sion didn't get to experience in the OG timeline. He has hidden potential to become a great ruler but he didn't have access to the education and guidance. Hence why Parvel was so overprotective of Sion and basically took Sion and ran away from the holy kingdom.

So it was revealed later on that the reason why Parvel in the og Timeline broke away from Sion's fate(to become the holy king) and ran away was because for Sion's stigmata to activate...Parvel had to basically...sacrifice himself...so he had these thoughts where when he is gone, who would take care of Sion? Who would protect him? Who would shield him from these old foggies who resents commoners and believes only a noble blood can become a holy king?? Which is why Parvel escaped with Sion to the neighboring kingdom where he and Sion were close friends with the prince there. So if Parvel were to die, his friend could take care of Sion..well..that plan fell through when their friend died...then Sion gets kidnapped, his mother dies...Parvel thinks all of these are punishment from god for breaking away from Sion's fate.
SO IN THIS LIFE!!!! Sion has access to historical/political books, has the bloodline for backing. Doubt he needs to be educated on the faith and prayers cus he was raised as a priest and also, he now has a lot more allies, friends like Leon's GF who can actually act as Sion's political advisor. The former king's sword can protect Sion too, there's that guard captain that Sion rewarded during the fire, there's also the dogs who can protect and make Sion happy. all of these makes Parvel happy cus nothing can hold him back from letting Sion follow his fate as the true holy king.

Sion actually learned a lot when he was still Parvel's servant in the past life. Servant was his status, but he was like his assistant at that time, very close confidant, that's why Sion feel betrayed.
Maybe it's not clear in the first few chapters of the webtoon. But in the capital, Sion belong to Parvel's house, not the church. He wasn't working as a priest. If he belong to the church, it shouldn't have take too long for old Sienna to get him

So this is huge spoilers BUTTT

Sion's memories of the last moment of his life is HEAVILY altered. If you don't mind knowing more, continue reading

So what happened was, the cause of the "earthquake"/destruction of the church was actually Parvellone using his stigamata's powers. It's like--similar to the blue lightning when people get their stigmata. That's why people call his stigmata divine retribution, people basically get blitzed to dust. Sooo--when Sion was kidnapped, Parvellone surrendered himself and was locked up. The guard was actually on his side(i believe he owes Sion), turns a blind eye to Parvellone's escape. Parvellone massacres soldiers on his way to the church/castle with the hand that has his stigmata cut off. He meets the former sword of the Holy king and convinces him and tells him about Sion's true identity(tho i might be misremembering this). Former Sword uses their stigmata's power to regenerate Parvellone's hand back, thus getting his stigmata back. That's when Parvellone unleashed hell and destroyed everything on the way to the church.
So during all that destruction, Sion managed to escape right?? Well, he saw Siennas and his crew getting blitzed by Parvellone and both reunite. BUT, Parvellone saw how injured and how much suffering Sion went through so he does what he was supposed to do originally. As that is the true fate of Parvellone's stigmata. He has to sacrifice himself to activate Sion's stigmata as revealed in the recent chapters. It can basically heal ANYONE the holder chooses. Parvellone does this so that Sion can get a new start and then uses holy powers or some shit to alter Sion's memories of everything so that when he does get his new start, Sion will stay away from Parvellone and not trust him. What Parvellone didn't tale into account that Sion used his miracle on both himself AND parvellone. Will see in a future chapter later on that Parvellone will come back to the past, the same day he got his stigmata. He'll be distraught and tells his mother he'll be going to the country side to recover when in actuality, he went to Sion's hometown and to the one where he was brought after his hometown got massacred..well..he never found Sion, it's like--he never existed at all. Even the massacre never happened.

One thing that got me hooked is this stereotypical uke mc but I just love how he's so optimistic and adorable that it amazes me. His bunny teeth. I'm hoping he won't turn annoyingly pitiful and delusional to the point of no return
I'm bracing myself for another pitiful poor uke x toxic rich asshole seme story but I gotta say, I just like their dynamic and the scenes where seme keeps chasing uke lmao. Hopefully, (a wishful thought!) this manhwa will surprise me and it'll turn out to be a sweet romance between mc and a decent ml. I hope so.

for those who wants to know what to expect in the story without giving major spoilers so they'll know if they'll be wasting time on another shit story, here's an overview for you:
It's shounen-ai so there are no established roles in the relationship. I'll be using their names instead of uke and seme: yeonduk (blond guy) skyler (taller one)
Yeonduk:
Yeonduk may feel like your typical pushover softhearted guy at first impression, but he defo knows to stand up for himself when enough is enough. (Light spoiler: Yeonduk even punched Skyler bc of how much he hated him.) He's also snarky at times in a way that's comedic. I rlly like how he developed from a meek person to an admirable person we've seen him in the later chapters. You'll honestly root for him.
Skyler:
Jerk ass face right from the beginning. I instantly knew he'll be like those typical bully 'seme' and I prepared myself for the worst. Like me, you'll loathe him, choke him, and question why he's the ml. And it's all warranted. Chapter by chapter, I pieced all the puzzles together and found out why. He rlly changed so so much for the better that it's almost astounding.
Art:
Art isn't rlly bad but I had to admit, I giggled far too many times whenever i saw skyler's hairstyle in s1. I think the great storytelling overshadowed the art style and it'll rlly reminds you that this was truly from 2017. I had to say the style is nostalgic. In S2, the art improved so much. It reminded me 'A Form of Sympathy'

so many things to say, yet I can only write how this story rlly made me bawl my eyes out that i almost embarrassed myself to our visitors.
100/10 read. Srsly, read it, people. I fucking dare you. I rlly like how they tied everything up by the end, addressing the issue of Skyler's family, Yeonduk's bullies, Leo's situation, and all the other baggage. (except for Yeonduk's mom being ignorant to what is happening in child Skyler's family situation, the adults being fucking irresponsible, and the diagnosed adhd. *i like to think skyler was misdiagnosed since it wasn't shown much in his pubescent years but hey, that could be just bad writing and i hate how they kept saying he was sick)
I wasn't expecting much from this story, yet here I am, three hours later and I'm writing how great this is. Would defo recommend this to other people. AND THE SONG 'PLUTO PROJECTOR' SUITS THEM SO MUCH. I was tearing up by the "Old enough to understand~" Oh boy, oh boy. I'm so glad to read this lovely gem. Bls like this should deserve the spotlight.
i feel like my heart getting squeezed whenever mc smiles
