spoilers for any romance
because art still technically sees himself as the age of king grey he doesn’t associate himself with any of the girls, of course there’s exceptions where Tess kisses him like twice but that’s it. It’s only until he’s like 17 where he actually starts dating Tess n even then there’s barely any time for them to like actually date.
MORE SPOILERS INCLUDING MENTIONS OF PLOT
bc they’re in the middle of a war, there was barely any time so when art n Tess were talking after not seeing each other for a long time he says he likes her n they kiss n promise to survive the rest of the war so that when’s it’s over they can be together. The only real interaction as a couple that they have is
SAD SPOILERS
- is when art’s dad dies on the battlefield n during mourning he goes to see tess which is also sad bc she basically ruined her divisions plan (she broke out of formation so save someone) n he like does things for her
I’m not on that part anymore but I think I was on chp 243
SPOILERS IF U ARENT ON THAT YET
that dumbass hoe left everyone even tho she agreed with art to stay u til Virion n bairon healed from when they got hurt from the scythe that killed Sylvia I forgot his name but yeah. N then she gets caught n then there’s the reveal that Nico’s soul or spirit is in Elijah’s body n art n him fight n cuz Tess wouldn’t like leave when art told her to, he extended realmheart so bad to a point where he like unlocked like a level of it (something to with with Sylvia idk) n then they left n Elijah I mean nico was like “wtf is wrong with you, you almost his Tessia she’s supposed to be a vessel for Cecilia” n then the chapter ended, n then he wakes up with Regis n his core really damaged n I love Regis he’s funny but why did sylvie do that that made me so sad
this..has become a little bit ahm what should i call it? irrelevant? irritating? idk i just don't want tess to be the female lead. i don't feel any chemistry between her and art:( i actually see jasmine more of a fl for art. although i'd rather have this without romance
