I wholeheartedly agree with you. Cassis's character is so good in the novel, it's weirder to like some other male character over him. His love for Roxana is so sweet yet intense, plus he allows Roxana to show her weaknesses in front of him but at the same time regards her as a strong woman. Cassis respects our Roxana so much, plus their steaming chemistry, I can't help but swoon at their scenes. I also fall for him at every chapter he is mentioned, and it's unbelievable how he caught my interest much more than any male lead I have read about. Cassis is the best boy in my heart, that's it.
Tbh I love this man sm that it hurts, I genuinely can’t understand why this man is underrated. I remember translating/reading the novel and falling inlove with his character every single chapter. Seeing his charm being over shadowed by other characters is a bit disappointing. Ngl I expected to see soo many simps cause the novel comment section (korean one) was filled with them. Anyways I’m low-key glad some of you don’t have taste so I can keep this man to myself- I mean share with Roxanna of course (she probably wouldn’t share because of her possessiveness but still).
After the rebellion arc cassis was god tier I said what I said.
