I really hope that this doesn’t become a love triangle with the priest and the saint gets to go back to her home rather than staying here and becoming a birthing machine
I thought this was the Anastasia story from afar and I was like since when did Lucas have blond hair? Is this gender bend or smth?
Honestly the story premise is fine and all and actually interesting but the characters are nasty.
First let’s talk about the dumb prince. Bro is trying to win the loyalty of people who he doesn’t know a single thing about. He doesn’t have a single bond with them nor does he offer any benefits whatsoever. Ain’t no way he’s called smart as the crown prince. The guy is also a sleazebag, doesn’t understand no means no.
At the same time doesn’t even think about the consequences having her as the queen. Does he think she’s gonna bend over Willy Billy and give him all her family’s hard work? Guy is also royalt and paranoia/suspicion is in their hearts. It’s only gonna end in tragedy
Second, the perverted ass butler. Bro you watched her grow up and you’re having nosebleeds over her. In the extras, she turned into a five year old and if this wasn’t a shoujo I betthat pedo would’ve had a hard on.
3rd, the lady herself. She wasn’t all that bad or anything just very 2D up until the point she suggested the concubine shit. I doubt she herself would’ve accepted it. The audacity to suggest it.
The extra, it was about a experiment going wrong which cause her to turn 5 years old
She suggested the marriage arrangement of the two marquis, because she herself doesnt grow up in household that doesnt want any power struggle, she is probably oblivious regarding that and suggested a not-so smart suggestion. Pls don't shame people like that huhu, if you too, grow up in a household like that and was not really educated regarding power struggles, you'll suggest things like that too to escape conflicts.
I highly doubt that, she’s a well qualified heir to the marquisette and for the sake of their survival and peace they’d have to know everything about the royal family and surveil them.
I 1000000% agree on the prince piece.
However, I think because it’s shoujo I didn’t take the nosebleed butler extra was sexual. I read it as him having an overload of how cute she was as a 5yr old. Immediately assuming the butler was a pedo and going as far as mentioning a hard on just because of that, speaks more about a person than the author, don’t you think? Now I could also be wrong about that but the Lars servants are so loyal they wouldn’t even think of bringing shame to the family, so why would he even think of something as disgraceful as a “hard on” while looking at her in a 5yr old form? I got the impression that she was so cute that in a classic shoujo fashion reaction - nosebleed.
I woudnt have assumed he was a pedophile, if not for the fact that first
1. He finished school as early as possibly could so he could go back to serving the lady. Mind you I’m assuming there’s like a huge age gap cuz his classmates are either fathers(the uncle of the prince) or a professor. So these are grown adult men and his similar in age.
2. Since this was a manga, I would’ve 100% assumed this guy was just dedicated asf and doesn’t have romantically feelings for somebody he took care of since a child, mind you she’s still a teenager. He 100% views her as a woman and has a crush on her and he basically is possessive as fuck of her and has romantical feelings for her.
3. My 3rd reason was due to a spoiler and if you would like to know please ask.
Please don’t bring up the historical nonsense talking about the age gaps would’ve been realistic since this is the Middle Ages. It has fantasy and it’s also promoting grooming in a positive light.
1. He skipped levels and that could also mean he graduated within the royal uncle and/ with the professor. He could be the youngest within that class. (Pure assumption)
2. I was hoping for more chapters so we can hopefully get better ml candidates tbh. My only hope rn is that the freakin prince isn’t one, so between the butler and the childish prince- which would’ve been more competent by her side? (Not advocating for pedos by any means)
3. SPOIL ME PLEASE!
Also I don’t do the “age gap wasn’t a thing back then” crap. It was gross then and it’s still gross now.
Earlier in the comments, there was this girl who was reading the light novel where she said the prince ain’t even a problem no more, he doesn’t really appear and only appears for comedic relief and to make the butler insanely jealous. There’s no other male characters that appear to be in competition with the butler or even the prince for that matter.
Honestly Im not keeping up with the manga or anything but I’m hoping the background info is like the butler skipped classes before coming to the academy and enrolled in it young asf and also graduated with a short time. So the age gap I’m okay with(not happily) is like 4-5 years. The butler is definitely better than the prince, cuz he obeys the lady and is definetly not gonna game her or put his interests before hers.
Dang I know I asked for this but I’m glad the prince is prop material but sad that there was some knight or some guild master somewhere. Thank you for spoiler I think I’ll keep tabs on it for a light reading
Woot woot !! I was thinking the same!! I was so excited to actually have active thread that was enjoyable!
YESSSSS HAHAHAHAHAHA YESSSSS FINALLY A MANGA THATS LIKE THIS. Hopefully this ends well
I honestly hope this remains friendship cuz I ship Chan and Sami together, I also ship Chan and Pyo Jun together and I ship Pyojin and Sami together too. I can’t choose
I love how this story is so realistic, it really captures the relationship btw parents and children. Especially with one as difficult as Duris. I’m honestly loving the character development of her.
It’s not like she goes from conservative I favor my sons over my daughters. She gradually changes and you can see her genuinely trying to make herself better despite the societal pressure to behave a certain way.
I can’t imagine how suffocating it is to live in a society like that especially when you don’t have a backbone like a family and back then the backbone of the family was considered the father(he ran away) and the son who you see she excessively favors over her own daughters.
So is Chan Bi?
Hes pansexual i think since he said he didn't care what they where if he loved them then thats it
Things seems to be heading that way! Or he could just be pansexual all this time
Evil ass mothefucker, ruined her career and her chances of promotion just because he felt inferior and if that wasn’t enough planned to get her pregnant after explicitly telling him for 10 FUCKING years she was child free. Men are evil
Holy hell the summary basically reveals everything…. The novel summary was wayyyy better and I was actually shocked when the plot twists came about
