Oh yeah lowkey at the front and mid point of the section the duke shows up but does nothing, just like *i’m making an appearance so you don’t forget about me*. I was wondering why he’s being so ineffective even though he’s the first ML but this explanation clears it up. I do love Tristan because he’s way more respectful in the manhua but I might change my mind if I read the novel
You’re welcome! I just didn’t like the blind hate, but I do get it as well. Anyone will swoon for the very attentive Tristan. But yeah, he’s a knight so he does stay by her side more often. As compared to the Duke that has a lot of preparation behind the scenes (for ML) that we haven’t seen yet.
I really like Tristan, I do. But apparently this is being depicted way different from the novel itself. Which is why a lot of supporters of the novel boycotted the manhwa artist and hated on in her IG, it seems she favors Tristan a LOOOT, and a lot of the FL scenes with him is not even in the novel. A lot of scenes where the duke’s efforts for FL where opted out.
And I haven’t read everything BUT there is a really good backstory for the ML (not a secret anyway with the posters) which is the Duke, he really respects her too. And see how he is the only one who had rejected her advances so far, cause it ain’t purely lust with him. Take note that when FL mother died, they were ALL CHILDREN, so put that in perspective too.
ANYWAY, the backstory of ML is way way wayyyy sad. So don’t be too quick to judge everyone. Still, they all hot tho. And that Pope and missing brother are ALL HELLA SUS!
