Really I feel like Jeffrey is the ml mostly cause he knows her better than anyone and he's the closest in age to her and they feel close to equals where she considers her disciples like her children/apprentices that she guides but maybe that's just me
yeah but Jeffrey is doing what Ml's don't do... and mostly doing 2nd lead work... he brushed/show his affections on her and treated it as a joke whenever lottie shrugs him off...
well Jeffrey is a good candidate but lacking... you know the ML trope that they don't wait? That is why I say this... He has witness her first lifetime and wasted her (both theirs) time... Most Ml's candidate or not don't waste time when it comes to their love ones... Once they know/confirm they have feelings for another they aggressively attack/confronts their prey... In that sense 3rd disciple and 5th disciple fit the bill more...
I agree to an extent, but keep in mind that he loved someone SIGNIFICANTLY older than him when she was alive as Charlotte. He was in his 40s and she was like 100 and something. Now she’s younger than him. Though she still has the thought process of an older lady, he now has a chance with her because the ages are better. Though now she’s a lot younger than him lol. But does that really matter in this time period?
wait, have to reread that part if there is coz I recall the disciples calling him grandpa... so I think if not he is in the same age range as her... let me go back later...
Oh? Maybe I remembered wrong. But if he actually is ancient, wouldn’t it just be gross for her to date him now that she’s like 20? Lol
its on ch 1, he (Jeffrey) was there injured and they were about to retreat... And it also stated there that Charlotte never won a single match from him (her regrets before dying)...
so the power dynamics in ch1 was they're all injured thanks to the calamity and ready to retreat as advice by her master... But she created a miracle in Jeffrey's point of view in the following chapters turned out to be a curse in exchange for that miracle defeating calamity (demon king)... So it was luck...
So in a sense since Charlotte without the miracle that happened that day, Jeffrey is stronger than her according to her since she never won when they spar...
this author is good, my mind already set on 5th disciple (possible demon king) and yet this chapter make me wanna sway with Jeffrey... but Jeffrey has the trope of the 2nd ml established... what a confusing chapter... either way not everything is set on stone yet...
