I like both relationships as well.
I particularly like Mary's personality. I have seen many movies such as Pride and Prejudice and there are many characters thinking above the clouds but she's perfectly down to earth, knows her place and likes it because that's how it is.
I know that they will end up in the end, but right now the "walls" she's putting in front of her are quite the common sense and makes the story more relatable.
Or maybe I'm getting old ahehshwjskdn ╮(￣▽￣)╭
This Is such a good story, also you can see how deep Clarisse has been traumatice and Is not going to magicly dessapear (like in most stories) but she's working to be better every day... and Sig you smooth dog, I love you, you're such a Green flag ヾ(☆▽☆)
And also Mary, I totally understand her, she's "just a maid" and a noble Is pursuing her, knowing that [usually] they wouldn't be able to be together at the end.
