btw white hair boy is the youngest ! i forgot what chapter they said it in but they said he was the youngest out of all the disciples
Thank you so much for the clarification! I was so unsure between the two
Thanks
Jeffrey is a dragon that's what he's hiding (his origins).
Oh fr? Wait is that real? But isn't he the archduke?
Yes. he is an archduke, but he has dragon blood. He is one of those dragons that can transform into humans, one of his parents is a dragon (it could be his mother a noblewoman maybe a princess and his father a dragon or vice versa). That is the reason because he is so powerful and has such advanced senses that he can discover a hidden fairy (this cannot be done even by magicians) and Jeffrey's eyes compare them to Klauss's queen from Chapter 18 (she's a relative of him) or to Vermon and Carsilion who are human, Jeffrey's eyes are different. Lotty is half fairy, the twins and Eldow are fairies (look at the shape of their eyes they are alike)
Same i agree that it seems Jeffrey is hiding something big like where the hell did he get that magic contract? In Black Haze, Yongyong’s other work, the funny lovable laidback characters has actually big sad stories like a demon’s dragon, a former magician who conducted experiments that took life and affected the main protag etc. so there might be possibility for Jeffrey’s story and I am so ready for it!
Huh, but how do you know this? It doesn't have any novel or prior work done into a manhwa, it's original?
I began to compare the eyes of the characters as they are of different species, by species the eyes changes. And about the dragon I began to suspect when Jeffrey defended himself from Eldow, no magician is able to detect a fairy when it hides, you have to be aware of the details, I began to investigate other webtoons characters that are dragons and Jeffrey complies with the characteristics as I had also seen a movie HE IS A DRAGON, and the previous work of YY black haze has Dio who is a dragon
Charlotte's teacher is helping Jeffrey, there is a form of communication such as astral travel that allows the magic user to enter the minds of other people to communicate messages. That is why the mysterious dream of chapter 57, what happened to Charlotte (resetting the age) could also be done by her teacher or he is simply a guardian helped by the fairies to protect the door of the astral world against the demons, the fairies can allow certain humans to age slowly or have eternal youth.
Well it would make sense why she doesn't seem to age meanwhile her first disciple does. I guess dio also had blue hair but I feel like that's a bit of a stretch saying that Jeffery might be a dragon. Idk, but there has to be a common ground between charlotte and Jeffery for why they don't age seeing as both are pretty old. And it wouldn't be a secret to charlotte if that was the case, because she must've questioned his youth at that point?
In chapter 1 it says, that she and Jeffrey received the blessing of the king of the fairies (eternal youth). As fairies cannot intervene in human affairs, they must have chosen Charlotte's master as their guardian to prevent other humans from taking over the door to the astral world.Charlotte ages because she has a sacrificial curse called (brand of sacrifice search the Berserk wiki), her body suffers stress with the presence of parasite evan that absorbs her life force and mana

Huh I didnt know it said that in the first chapter. However very interesting theory, I'm looking forward to see if there will be more elaboration on these things.
Okay so this is how I presume the relationship is between the FL and her disciples + Jeffery.
So first disciple (aka old man): their relationship is really just mentor and mentee. He cares for her in the way that she's taught him the majority of what he knows and has spent the most time with her (so knows her the most out of the disciples) almost like a long time friend but still looks up to her.
The second one (aka elf, ps not sure if this is the right order of the disciples): their relationship is really simple, it goes down to savior/hero to the elf. The elf loves her in that way, like someone who saved her from her misery and pain. Someone who she is forever in debt to kinda? Often can be mistaken as romantic love is what I would say. Very possessive.
The third one (aka half demon boy): I honestly don't think he has romantic feelings for her and that he's mistaken them just like the elf (or maybe not). But to me their relationship is really like mother and son. We know he lacked parental love (which was his main issue) so he finds that in her. Also the elf kinda portrays sibling relationship with him (like older sister) and so the elf might also have similar feelings.
The fourth one (aka fairy girl): I'm not yet sure about her since we have yet to see the interact much. But she does show admiration and protectiveness, almost like how a cat favors their owner. She's a fairy and as we see is kinda high about her race and looks down on humans. In that way I believe she sees Charlotte as an exception- thus kinda admires and loves her like that. Maybe also savior? But she seems less possessive than the elf. Tsundere with her love?
The fifth one (aka white boy): tbh the original guy who is not possessed doesn't seem to have any romantic relationship with her. He mostly seems interested in getting stronger and facing her. However he also does like he kinda craves her love but is unable to portray it correctly? Kinda gives me same vibes as Dan. Buuuut his possessed version aka the demon says something completely different. This guys shows interest and has this bad boy evil mastermind who wants her in all the wrong ways. But there's a clear difference between the two in my opinion.
As for Jeffery (aka blue boy): he's probably the only one who shows genuine romantic feelings for her. Like he's aware of his feelings and he's been so for a long time. He's also aware of her mental state and how dense she can be. They show childhood friends kinda vibes between each other and she's most likely known him for the longest. He seems afraid of acting on his emotions, a bit because they seem really passionate. Like he's a bit afraid of his own emotions towards her. He's also really old so him and Charlotte are probably the oldest there, maybe fairy girl or white boy the youngest? Anyway, I'm thinking that he's most likely to be the ML however, he's also a little sus. Idk just the vibe he gives as if he might be hiding something big kinda makes me doubt it. But still most likely the ML because he's had most romantic scenes with her while none of the others really have.
Anyway this was really long but just needed to sort some things out there and hoped that maybe some of you guys will add your own opinions!
