But from how Art is acting, isnt the rejection already clear? I mean he could be more firm and serious but im sure she can feel the rejection already. But oh well its also good that she said that so Art can reflect more on how to deal w these confessions.
I mean let's face it, it was justified that the homunculi revolted and killed the imperial family and Eve, as part of that same family, kind of doesn't have the right to stop that. It was blood that the imperial family owed to the homunculi for the yrs of subjugation. But seeing she's still willing to step up for the people even at the risk of being shunned in the imperial family, I guess I can get on board w it.
He looks at Maxi as the daughter of the Duke (remember the extravagant gifts and his embarrassment of the shabby appearance of this mansion when Maxi just arrived). He doesn't want Maxi to do anything but be protected and pampered and he definitely doesn't want her to be in danger. The idea of it is romantic and sweet BUT it's not very good for someone like Maxi. It hurts me when I was reading the novel and she feels useless, alienated, and insecure when Riftan doesn't involve her as much as he should in the affairs of Anatol and she feels her world is so small compared to Riftan's. Oh I was supposed to be defending Riftan. Well he's not a bad person there's just a lot he doesn't know about Maxi which is kind of on him now that I think about it. I mean his wife stutters, is timid, is skittish, and flinches easily despite being the daughter of a duke and he didn't investigate why that's the case. The rumors about Maxi in high society, as to why she didn't appear in public, was because of an illness ryt so he also didn't investigate that or asked her about it?
Maxi is not a transmigrator or a reincarnator, no golden finger whatsoever but she still turned out to be such a wonderful and strong character, surviving years of abuse and still being able to better herself and help those around her. I love her sm. I guess I baited y'all with the title, this is actually a Maxi appreciation post
Lmaooo why is this so me, whenever I try to say anything about this story it ends up being a maxi appreciation post (≧∀≦)
But in defense of Riftan, I think he didn’t ask her because he thinks she’s scared of HIM. He jumps to assume he’s the cause of her skittish behavior because he is self conscious about it, and doesn’t stop to think her behavior might be caused by some deeper underlying issues.
I guess that's true and Maxi wouldn't admit anw to being abused. But I still think that Riftan could've found out if he did a little digging bec honestly, once he knows he'll be able to take care of her better and the misunderstandings won't pile up and the idiot Anatol knights would stop being shitty to her. Yeah I wish they'd talk to each other and not just smooth over their issues through sex
Yup, better communication from both sides would have helped smooth things over much faster but welp (〜￣△￣)〜
I mean we kinda expected that she would sell sophie out but it was still funny when it did happen
Shes even selling her out again for the same price! LOLOLOL!!
Eh isn't it that she won't sell it for 6k? Meaning that if it's 7k she will? LoL
Yeah she's now aiming for 7k. I think Jera's gonna sell her info to every ML
Jera found a new business lmao
So if seo woo just summed up the courage to approach Ohn, he could easily win him over and prevent a love triangle *sighs*
ikr, his so cute and he has a nice personality. i feel like Seowoo ans Raon would get along eith each other and would relate to each other a lot :'(
Why fl was trying to be mean to the ml. In the og novel, she was supposed to give care to jade. Or is she just trying a different strategy
She thinks she went back in time because she didn't fulfill her role properly, so when she thought about how she grew up with the ml, she remembered that he was supposed to end up as a tyrant.
Then she noticed that he was no where near being a tyrant, and was just a really good kid. And she thought that this was because she was being too kind to him, making him a softie, which is why she went back in time.
Basically reason why she flipped her attitude and decided to start trying a different strategy was so that she could turn him into a tyrant
Haha it's funny how isekai'd ppl don't think of cliche tropes applying to them. When jade showed some changes all of us knew he somehow came back in time too but fl didn't think of the possibility
She shouldnt have told the maid to hide from the ML the fact that she got kicked out. Oh well for the angst
I know chloe's thing is being a vessel but I hope in the future she also gets her own power or smth
I mean her willingness, stubborness and righteousness for me are already her powers. She's a whole ass girlboss and wont let anyone stand on her way to protect other people.
