i might be wrong it’s been a while since i read but i think he does like her romantically for a while but then he stops bc he knows that she’s only his mom… so he kinda just lets nora and shuri get their ending… I THINK????
I mean, I don't think he likes her romantically at all. He knows Shuri and Nora are close but he doesn't really mind.
yeah he just gets out of the way and i think he’ll have another person for him or he already does (im rereading i haven’t caught up yet)
all i know is he gave his blessing to nora and shuri
“There is a wall between us and if it were to crumble it would kill us both.”
He loved her but is aware that if anything were to change between them, they would both suffer for it. So he will never act on it and is willing to step away.
thisssss
So he did like her romantically?
Yes. It’s strongly implied.
And confirmed during the swordsmanship competition
i don’t think shuri liked him tho.. right?
It’s one sided
Idk how to feel about this
Well it’s a complex emotion and situation. I don’t think people are meant to look at it in black and white.
He was about 12 when his father married a 14 year old. He never saw her as a mother then. Who would? Even now, he calls her mother but I believe that is more out of respect for her position and the things she’s done for the family to protect them. She sees them as her children but she’s only slightly older than him. She is the HOTTEST woman in all the land apparently with all the powerful men collapsing at her feet. Bro is really fighting his inner demons to not act on his emotions and has successfully swallowed them at this point. He’s doing his best and that is commendable.
I don’t think our FL ever knew of his affections so she’s good. And even if she did and had a crush in return like—— could you blame her? Not only is he FINE she took on the mother role because she agreed to protect her husband’s family. The husband who never consummated the marriage or even loved her. She’s essentially just doing her job till he’s old enough to become the head of the family and then she’s out. Even he knows that and he wants to grow up faster to free her.
She was brought out of poverty to take on the role as temporary protector. And she’s a good and kind person who truly cares so she never abandoned the family even though she easily could have.
i love shuri so much!!! so sorry for jeremy but nora is just the right person.
doesn’t jeremy get a love interest later on in the series tho? i thought he was gonna…
Does Jermey like Shuri in that way? I thought he didn't since when his brother brought it up he was so angry and when he was talking it out with Nora he was disgusted. He even called her mom but someone up in the comments said that jermery does like her. I really thought that he didn't like her in that way.
