Hmmmn though ur take makes sense somewhat, i feel it was more of the feeling of betrayal? She’s aware that she doesn’t know everything ab Killian and she’s willing to respect Killian’s boundaries (it was mentioned in that terrace scene after their wedding, p sure she mentioned it too earlier on) she trusted on Killian because he said that he was going to talk ab it w/ her in the right time, thats why she refused to pry even when she perfectly could just instruct her brother to do so and even when she was starting to suspect things ab him.
It was something that they were spose to talk ab 1 on 1 someday and she ended up finding ab it through someone else thats not him. <Cuz wym he’s the icp? Was he planning on coercing me to be the crown princess? Why did he keep this from me?> she’s probably full of thoughts like that rn and honestly, a good talk would solve all her worries but the thing is, this is her first time being in love. She’s usually ur typical rational, intellectual, know-it-all wealthy businesswoman of the south but now that she’s in love with someone she’s now torn on what to do, what to feel, and what to say. It may seem that she’s throwing temper tantrums, but she’s really just someone hopelessly in love and needs time before talking things out much less doing anything ab it (her father did say that she’s unusually taking long making a decision on what to do)
This is a lot of “firsts” that Adele is experiencing, expect that she won’t solve it as quickly as she usually does w/ her businesses and that it’ll take time (i hope not too much time TT). On the bright side though, this is going to be an important turning point in both ml & fl’s married life & will only get better from here on out (trust
“they’ll be ok when they start talking”
That’s the whole problem. Adele has spent the whole time telling Killian everything there is to know about herself. She showed him her home, her family, her business. And she gave him space to continue the conversation, to tell her about his own life and family and childhood.
But he doesn’t talk. Killian shows her over and over again that she doesn’t need to know. Hell, he even says he doesn’t WANT to tell her. He knows that she’s waiting for him, but he shuts down the conversation anyways.
And Adele would have kept waiting. She would have kept giving him space to tell her on his own terms. All she wanted was to hear it from her husband, and she couldn’t even have that.
You made some goods points. I also agree and thought similar things. I kept thinking maybe it's this and maybe it's that. I also left a lot of my thought process out, so it kinds seems like I'm calling her a child, but I really meant to emphasize that she is feeling helpless and realizing because of the nature of her relationship and her husband's personality, she might continue to fell helpless and not in control. A lot of this is happening for the first time for her even as someone who was reborn, so I think she prefers to be in control of things as a way of dealing with things. But, this situation is causing her to react more emotionally than she is used to. Rather than betrayed and hurt, I believe she feels more upset because she wanted to hear it from him and not someone else. She seems to be placing less emphasis on you didn't tell me and more on you didn't tell me first. If he apologizes and becomes more open with her, I her mood will immediately return to normal and be more satisfied. Since he is not doing that, I think she is expressing her displeasure with her actions (e.g. not coming out of her room but also not throwing away the flowes)kinda like pouting or throwing a tantrum. I could be wrong. I might need to reread the stor ly since it has been a while.
True!! Heavy on the “he doesn’t WANT to tell her” part too!! That scene where he told her that he regrets failing to keep the secret from her shows that he would’ve kept it as long as he could even if it meant forever and i found that really frustrating because why even???? Tho at the same time we’ve yet to have a backstory on him so maybe theres a reason for him wanting it to be kept a secret ugh TT
I personally also found it upsetting how he forced her into another oath after all that because he won’t accept a divorce from her, its concerning because it felt all so one sided AND all so confusing because of all the mixed signals!!— i just hope this quarrel arc finishes soon;;
Ur good ur good, ur right about fl feeling frustrated & upset w/ how things are playing out so i hope they get a good long talk about everything because they really need it TT because personally, it hurts seeing them having their first conflict and losing sleep and energy over it.
I agree, but I also believe that he needed more time. She also knew this which was why she was waiting. Because of scheming someone one his secret was revealed before he was ready. Despite what he said, it's hard to conclude that he never would have told her later on. At this time, they haven't know each other for long and haven't talked much about themselves. In his mind, he already decided he didn't have a family, basically disowning them and dening their existence. Since he already disowned and left them, he felt that he doesn't have to talk about or acknowledge them. It might sound crazy, but his family is his trauma and his darkest secret. He is not comfortable talking about them. Even though they are married, they are still in the dating phase just like Adele said. I don't expect them to tell each other their deepest darkest secrets or traumas right away (e.g., being a lost prince and being a reincarnator). I don't think Adele expected this either which is why she was waiting. She just wanted to hear it from him first.
I kept trying to understand why she was so upset. She is clearly not mad that he is the imperal crown prince; in fact, it seems like she already suspected it. I think her father explained it best when he said she is not use to not having her way. Since the start of their relationship, she felt like she was in control. She already planned their relationship in her head. She made most of the decisions and drew the lines, and he followed. Now, however, he is strictly saying no and drawing his own line. He is saying I am willing to do everything else but this (talking about or acknowledging his past as a member of the royal family). He is making her realize won't do everything she says, and she feels stuck because she can't think of a way to make him. She is realizing he is her husband and equal who has been indulging her not being submissive or subordinate to her. If my thought process is right, then I can't help but see her as someone who is simply pouting and throwing a tantrum. It might take a while, but I think they'll be ok when they start talking.
