Mc owes her NOTHING. It's understandable that the mc will never be able to become close with her, but I do agree mc's actions r valid AT FIRST but the fact that she kept that act forever is insane since Helliane is innocent. But what ur saying here is as if the mc MUST love her back cuz Helliane lovessss the mc. And how is Helliane's experience more worser?? I don't think u realize how the mc GOT ZERO FAMILY LOVE from anyone in her life, while Helliane lived a good as happy life. After Helliane was to the mansion, did u forget that the mom fully supported her?? Literally praises her too. While the mc NEVER got that experienced. Helliane lived a life where everybody loves her, and she expects the mc to do the same. That's what ur not getting, it is not genuine love to the mc. She is just shocked that someone could hateee her, cuz what do u expect from someone who lived with 2 families and got poured with love? While mc never experienced that
At the end of the day, both of them have fuck up personalities. They both obsessed but with opposite things, Helga is obsessed with hating Helliane, tho I'd argue her hatred isn't that much compared to Helliane's obsession of everyone loving her. Cuz when mc got out of that mansion, she LIVED her life and enjoyed it. While Helliane is still obsessed with the mc.
Okay I'm at chapter 50, and Helliane fr believes the mc is just gonna come back to the mansion LIKE HUH? At this point, I'm more convinced she doesn't genuinely love the mc. She only wants her fairytale mindset to come true. She wants everyone to get along(despite the fact that the mc was abused) and love her. I hate her now
Although she's naive, she has done nothing but try to be on Helga's side since day 1. Helliane is just as much of a victim as Helga in this situation, and arguably has it worse. She was swapped at birth, then taken from the family she grew up with and loved and thrusted into the cruel and unfamiliar world of nobility. Constantly compared to Helga and belittled because you aren't as much of a super genius as her, crushed under the weight of the expectations of your new parents who tell you that you should hate Helga, but you know that's wrong, and despite being weak and naive, you do everything you can to support her. You dedicate years supporting her because you know what your parents did to her wasn't right, only to be cast away in the end because you share the same blood as the people she hates, despite doing no wrong yourself. It's like this story has a hate boner for Helliane, literally any chance it gets, it her down to show off how special Helga is. I was literally only reading this for her because the story fell off, but I dropped it after seeing how they treated her as a character. Hell, I only came back to remember what Helliane looks like to fantasize about her getting the happy ending she deserves
