Idk why they made the knight the ML cause im fine with age gaps but the way it is written just FEELS weird. I think the knight is cute and all but not as the love interest. Literally could have been left as a wholesome non romantic relationship but nooooo. Now it wouldn't be as bad if they skipped the first 50 chapters of when she is a kid and just summaried those events for make her at least in the teens. Then the gap wouldn't be as crazy but they could have easily just make him like a teenage knight in training. The amount of childlike qualities she had with him made it feel gross.
Tbh I thought the brother was gonna be the love interest because I assumed they were not related and the mother lied to the duke but that ended up not being the case. So I assumed we were gonna get another character around her age to be the ML and then they grow up together etc. Clearly that did not happen. I kinda just finished the story to finish it but hmm.
