It would have made better sense if the boss (I can’t remember his name) didn’t know about the father being involved and was speechless like the rest of us. There is no good explanation he is going to have for letting them believe it was just the step mother when he was aware the father was involved the whole time and he knows the father’s real personality. If he even gives an explanation on why he never told anyone such vital information, they might gloss over it.
I just finished chapter 1 and I’m dying Ain’t no way I’m bowing in respect to the emperor, I would have already run out of the palace buy the time he glanced at the new eunuchs. They would see my after image because I instantly changed my mind about the job. You do not have to worry about me, you do not have to worry about me!
On one hand Je-oh warned him and I get he wanted to believe the guy was being nice to him because he was kind but he also has a crush on the dude. Je-oh literally saved him and he chooses his crush over him. But I know shit won’t end well for him so I feel bad, I just hope he realizes he has no one to blame for this mess but himself and doesn’t become angry at Je-oh
I feel like this will be a tragedy and they won’t end up together. I keep thinking of the first panel of the first chapter, some old person (looks like a guy so it might be Goto?) is sitting by a lake with fireflies reading a letter while crying. And it hits different when you hear Goto talking about getting Satoko a house by a like so they can watch the fireflies everyday. Then they keep talking about her declining health and that chapter where she was skin and bones is scary. I want them to end up together and to be happy but I don’t think it’s possible.
Sooo I get most of my manga/manwha etc recommendations watching YouTube, this being no exception… in the video they state it’s her father reading a letter from her saying she fell for a man she shouldn’t have, and wherever she is, she is happy, some sites like the official (Comikey) have part of letter in English! BUT, I agree it definitely has a tragic vibe, and I’m not ready, nor can I look away…
He’s joking about what he did right… Right!?
