I am not really sure if they really treat or thought each other as brother and sister though....For the FL,she see the ML as a survival method and know that they are not blood related while for ML he see the FL as a sacrifice to be a Duke. So I didnt really see kinship between them, but it is true that the ML felt something when he thought that the FL is going to die, i guess the FL finally gain a place in ML's heart. It is just a small seed that havent grown.After thet spend more time, their feeling would become much more clearer. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Based on how he knows her from birth nd he’s kinda highkey raising her they’re kinda like brother and sister...he might act like he doesnt like her and stuff but he’s clearly grown attached to her nd ik they have different motives than being siblings but that doesnt change the fact that they’re in the same family and they’re literally growing up together so i wish they didnt develop feelings for the other bc even if they’re not by blood, they’re still siblings. Even if they care for e/o and love e/o that doesnt mean it has to be a romantic relationship, also im not hating on u or anything but i just wanna say my opinion so pls don’t misunderstand
How about considering the fact that the current anissa is a grown woman in a child’s body? She’s not growing up with Dietrich because she does not have a child’s mind, like the original anissa did. That’s the one who grew up seeing Dietrich as her brother. Also the current anissa has already commented AND drooled over Dietrich with the comment on how handsome he’d be when he’s older.
Then how about the fact that diet is a whole ass child who’s then being raised by a grown woman ? Just bc she doesnt have a child’s mentality doesnt make it less weird for her to fall for a guy who she’s growing up with and just bc she’s an adult doesnt mean she’s not growing up with him?? Leaving the fact that they’re practically siblings aside, just bc she drooled over the adult diet cuz of a few chapters she read abt him before when she had never met him live doesnt mean that he’s an adult, he’s a child with a child’s body/face and i’d never understand how an adult can fall for someone they raised. No matter how u look at this and no matter how many excuses u make, it’s still weird. And no i dont have this manga, im just not gonna act like it’s not weird, that’s it.
I really want them to remain as brother and sister only even if they aren’t blood related. That prob won’t happen based on the cover but i dont like how manga characters grow up together close as siblings yet they end up together just bc they’re not blood related. Now ppl will prob disagree with me but y’all just imagine u suddenly find out ur sibling is adopted or smth, so how would you feel if ppl started shipping u guys or ur sibling confesses to u and falls in love with u?
