Bruhhhh seduce? Where?
Seriously lol, she looks at him like a baby right now!
Honestly i understand. I remember starting to read this novel but stopping, and i just realized why. It made me uncomfortable how she was acting towards him. Here though i only see her trying to be a good person and raise him as a mother would
???? Are we even reading the same manhwa lool she ain’t seducing him, she even said “your highness if one day you find someone you love, tell me and i leave” non verbatim, but thats the gist. It’s Blake who’s catching feelings, Anicia just wants him to survive until Diana hopefully falls in love with him and save him
Hell, she doesn’t even see him as a man, and she openly ogled when he saw the Emperor half naked that she FORGOT he was even there.
If this ain’t your cup of tea well, theres a lot that doesnt start the isekai in child’s body. Such as seduce the villain’s father, la dolce vita, as you wish prince, why are you doing this duke, kill the villainess, i became the hero’s step mom, villainess maker, hero’s evil lady, shadow queen
"grown women" bruh shes a child now, she reincarnated. plus she doesnt see him that way, just a cute lil kid. if you dont like this story than leave
When you named a lotta manhwa I enjoyed and I dropped the argument to sip some tea ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
I know she isn’t trying to seduce him but that’s the effect it’s having. I like these sort of stories but this one is making me super uncomfortable with how it’s sexualizing the children. That’s why I wanted to know how long this will go on bc I think it has potential and it would be sad if I just gave up on it in that case.
Oki, if you don’t mind the spoiler I heard something:

She gets trapped for 7 years unfortunately therefore probably they will meet again when she gets rescued and Blake (ML) is perfectly an adult, so you shouldn’t worry :3
She’s an adult and should notice the affects that her actions has on the child. It’s good that she’s trying to show him that she cares but like put some boundaries or take a step back and look over the situation.
hmmm... are you sure it’s manhwa thats sexualizing or is that how you’re interpreting it? Because imo, I don’t find it sexualizing at all. Since it revolves around the MC taking good care of the ML until FL takes him off her hands and she goes to the shadows to watch the supposedly r19 novel that she’ve read in her past life.
Tho if you must, i’d say drop this for now and come back around chapters 20++ wherein hopefully they’re grown ups now
Yes but as an adult she should notice the affects of her actions. I don’t think it matter what she thinks of the boy or the way she treats him, but the results do.
It’s great that she’s doing everything she can to make the boy happy but she should still be able to notice the affects it’s having on him. If she would take a step back and take a look on the situation and adjust it accordingly then that’s great! My problem is that the child isn’t seeing her as a mother but as a love interest and it makes me, to be frank, disgusted. Would’ve loved to see them support each other as they grew up, maybe with her as a leading role and him growing more confident and strong as he ages. Then when they’re both of age a relationship could blossom between them.
I do realize now after your and everyone else’s comments that seduce maybe wasn’t the correct word to use, I apologize.
It’s not her actions in themselves that I have a problem with, but the fact that she isn’t noticing the boy’s feelings for her. As an adult she should take a step back or make really clear boundaries. I wouldn’t have any problem with their relationship if there was only friendly and/or family (is that a thing?) feelings between them.
There are stories I like where the MC is reincarnated as a baby or a child, just not when they’re like this. Seduce the villain’s father and Shadow queen are great! :)
She’s an adult inhibiting the body of a child since she does remember her old life. It’s not the way she sees him but the way he sees her that’s my problem. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect her as an adult to notice those feelings and set up some clear boundaries.
My reason for commenting was to see if someone knew that it would get better with time, either with a time skip or some solution to their relationship.
Thank you!
Then I will continue reading this one ^v^
I didn’t read it in one sitting so maybe I’ve forgotten something but it has made me uncomfortable in many places. It generally came from unchildlike behaviors (at least in my opinion). Good for you if you didn’t have those feeling.
Someone else gave me a few spoilers so I’m going to wait and see a bit, just as you proposed :)
"It’s not the way she sees him but the way he sees her that’s my problem. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect her as an adult to notice those feelings and set up some clear boundaries."
Sure, if the scenario weren't what it is I'd agree, but this ignores the context of the story... they were already married before she reincarnated, already locked into a romantic relationship. What "distance"? Married... friends? She's a crown princess, she's expected to fulfill her marital duties. But even putting all that aside, the boy was already under the understanding that she thought he was a disgusting monster like everyone else, how exactly was she supposed to skirt his rejection issues while rejecting him as a husband while simultaneously staying married?
Both of them are in a bad situation and it might be to hard to ask of a child but maybe they could come up with some agreement concerning their marriage. I think it’s a stretch to call their relationship romantic tho, it’s a political arrangement and if there are any romantic feelings between them then it’s one sided.
I have a hard time believing that the other royals and/or the nobles would expect children as young as them to fulfill any marital duties. There’s no doubt that she would have some royal duties, like training and learning important stuff for a queen tho and maybe attend parties or ceremonial stuff.
I’m not saying that she should shun or ignore him. There must be other ways for her to treat him well that still keeps some boundaries. They aren’t even teenagers yet and again, I strongly doubt that anyone expects them to act as a married couple in any capacity at their age.
"They aren’t even teenagers yet and again, I strongly doubt that anyone expects them to act as a married couple in any capacity at their age."
...Why? It's a different time period, that they are already married rather than just engaged at that age implies otherwise. And i don't think it makes sense to say "they're just married, it doesn't mean it's romantic", political or otherwise. They're married, she can and has acted under her authority as his wife. The Emperor even just told that noble off for disrespecting her.
Maybe also keep in mind that his father loves him and as far as anyone knows, he's going to die soon from the curse. Hell, since the prince was ostracized by society because of the curse, the marriage doesn't even make sense outside the scenario in which the emperor was trying to give his son a loving wife before he dies.
I don’t think the story is meant to be in a specific time period that correlate with ours, but I’m getting 1800 or so vibes. Now I’m not super knowledgeable about history, I only know a bit about european history and more precisely Swedish history. So I’m sorry if I’m missing some example of children having a marriage that’s comparable to one between adults. Maybe if the wife was underaged it would be fine (from a historic point of view), but both of them are here. Now there’s nothing unusual about monarchs using the marriage of their children as bargaining chips and so on, but in cases where one or both of the parties are underage it’s usually put on hold until they’re of age.
Now as I said before I don’t think this story is taking place in our reality so it might be more common or acceptable here. I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear enough, but I meant that I doubt anyone expects them to act as a loving pair, that is to care deeply for each other or share a deep bond. Not that she would use her status as a wife and do things.
I admit that I didn’t think about what his father thought so thank you for pointing it out! However I find it strange that the best solution his dad could come up with was to have his son married. Wouldn’t a child prefer a good friend or two? What sort of support could they not give the boy that a child wife could? The only reason I could think of is to give his son a person who would be forced to be on and remain by his side. As a wife to the prince her position and future life could be ruined if she either betrayed or made him unhappy. The original person inside the body of the girl couldn’t handle it tho, she was a child forced into the situation against her will so no wonder she had a hard time. The king could've instead made sure that the adults working around him was supportive and found him some friends, the boy did not need a child wife.
This is so weird and disgusting. Does anyone know if there’s a time skip coming up soon? I can’t read about this grown woman seducing literal children
Edit: Thx to all of the comments I understood that seduce was the wrong word to use and I apologize. I also meant ‘a literal child’ not ‘children’. In short my problem with it is that she isn’t dealing with the boy’s feelings in a way I deem appropriate.
