I get where you’re coming from but he was kind of worried for her shown when they were signing the contract and he kept asking her if she was okay with the contents. This meant that she was allowed to make corrections or ask for more or smth (maybe not give the ENTIRE fortune but some of it). Also, the way she continued to talk sounds like she’ll keep some of the money regardless (cuz it makes no sense for him to take all to the point she’ll be dead broke) Plus she says she needs some money to travel which leads me to my next point, yeah divorce kind of ruins ppl but she’s a noble first of all that doesn’t have a good reputation regardless AND she’s going to travel anyways (probably somewhere kinda far) so it doesn’t matter what other people think about her. Also, last note but he didn’t think much about it because the rumors of her was that she was evil and bad; if she was like neutral and that cruel to THAT extent, then it wouldn’t have been a factor in his decision making. I think he’s overall a good guy, maybe not like the best but he is pretty caring for her.
If the guy was truly “nice” and “noble” he would have never ever accepted that proposition. A nice and noble guy would not marry a girl who doesn’t have a family for only six months and then leave her penniless afterwards. Like this is even a historical Manhwa....divorce ruins a girl! I can’t even imagine what a divorce after only six months from a Duke would do to the girl’s future. On top of that the girl would have to give up all of her family’s fortunes and become penniless after the marriage? A nice and noble guy would’ve rejected &/or made the proposition more fair to both parties.
Like at the end of the day it doesn’t matter if the Duke is a selfish person...but the fact that the girl overlooks that and constantly calls him “nice” and “noble” irks my soul! Like I get he’s “nice” to you during the marriage....but that doesn’t override the rules of the contract and what would’ve happened to a girl who wasn’t going to die when those six months were over.
S/N When sis stated that the original girl could’ve never approached the Duke because he was such a “noble” character? That made me soo sick to my stomach :/
