I’m only on chapter 69, but does the crown prince like Hestia now? He seems like the guy who would just leave Diana because it’s too much bother to deal with her and have Hestia who is much more useful, and that “Cael is a lucky guy?” Like dude? You just got married to woman your best friend loved and almost end his life for and like?
That's the point, he's her favorite character, she worships him. Until chapter 95, she didn't see the possibility of her standing next to him as equals because her image of him in her head so so great (because she thinks of him as her untouchable favorite character), her love was different from his love because she denied herself the possibility of loving him as a partner. it's all part of her character development trust
Yes, I realized that :D Like I said - I don’t hate them, character are surprisingly well written (for once). I like Hestia but her behavior is a bit annoying at times when she’s around him. I’m not a fan of stories where someone is with their favorite characters but this one is well written so I will definitely wait for more. It’s just that she mostly see him as her perfect man, as i she doesn’t see his flaws and all, I might not know much since I didn’t read the novel so I will wait for more :)
But yeah I’m glad she finally see him as a person not as a character to worship
It’s great, more mature than most of those types of stories, not too cringy or overly cheep with coincidence, but I think that the way Hestia act is just like a fan would with idol. I mean don’t get me wrong I like the main couple but it’s just hard to read when she gets all flustered about her “favorite”. Those types of stories where main character is basically is in love with some character from the novel is hard to read, she act like a little fan girl all the time, she even act more normal with the crown prince! It’s not a hate, I really like hestia, she’s such a badass and all but it’s just a bit annoying for me at least to read their conversation because she’s mostly seeing him through the glasses of “my favorite, poor second male lead”.
