I use to think like this to but it is more to that lily just didn't want to be alone and the only reason she had sex with the duchess is because the duchess manipulated her she is just taking any "love" that is given to her
Nah. There was no manipulation. She was just super horny. She already had the love of Anna. Not my text under by the way. But I am stealing it.
First. Lily almost kissed Rose twice before any manipulation occurred: the night she arrived and the next morning during breakfast. It was just Anna showing up that stopped it. She also sneaked out during the night and lied to Anna about it to visit Rose in her bedchamber. Lily is presented as a character who lacks agency, but the first and only real decision she makes during the story is sneaking out to visit Rose. She almost did it after one night, it was only the orgy that scared Lily away. No one sneaks out during the night to visit someone else in their bedchambers without knowing what they were doing. If there hadn't been a orgy ongoing Lily would probably have had sex with Rose the very first night. What, a couple hours after meeting Rose for the first time?
Second after sleeping with Rose. Anna was clearly hurt. Lily acted like a wife caught in the act of cheating, but she didn't even bother trying to explain. She even tried to shift the blame to Anna. Then she just started sleeping with Rose while forgetting Anna ever existed.
Third. After chapter 8 she blames Anna for her sleeping with Rose. She blames everyone but herself, and Rose. Apparently Rose can do anything as long as she desires her.
Lily might have been desperate for love. But she is also never showed any care for Anna.
I'm not saying she is a good person but I'm saying there is more to it than she is a whore or just horny. she goes to rose to get what anna never gives her or let her experience because of anna's negative perception lily never gets to explore that and she perceives it as true love, so she goes somewhere to get. I don't like lily but if you see her the way ur describing ur not going to enjoy the manhwa cause her being a whore isn't the point of it. she faces constant rejection even before she met the duchess and it shape her to be an individual that craves every and any form of "love"
The fl is a whoreeeeee. She doesn't deserve Ana
