Samee omgg. I was worried cause everyone kept saying it's incest and stuffs. But they never saw each other as siblings. He was like a novel crush/bias to her. She was like a escape from the hellish and abusive environment for him who only saw him for who he was. They lived together for 2 tears like friends and then stayed apart for 7 years until both became adults (I'm so glad they stayed apart for those 7 years cause if romantic situation developed even after living together like siblings for that long, it'd be even weirder)
Also one thing that was mentioned a few times, it's normal there to adopt a kid after their parents have passed away for arrange marriages. That's why other people are assuming that she was also adopted for the same reason, to have an arrange marriage with Lucian later on.
exactly! he’s just a little obsessed (=・ω・=)
ngl i’m eating this shit up, i thought it was gonna be worse
