Save the sob story for someone you didn't murder & offer her head to the enemy king.
At the end of the day he's just an obsessed piece of shit. Making excuses for his trash behavior & murderous acts. As if killing Estelle wasn't enough. To think he was involved in her father's death. Is there no level he won't stoop to to imprison her?
And, what is she thinking? A territory war? She isn't Estelle. She has zero training in that frail noble woman's body. Yet, she somehow plans to win? No wonder zed is furious.
If she doesn't come clean, she's going to lose him. And that would ruin the story for me. It took so long for her to get out of her own way & accept that she has feelings for him. If they don't end up happy together, I'll be very disappointed.
On second thought, maybe she doesn't deserve him. He drank, what he believed
was, poison for her. And she can't give him the simple courtesy of letting him in on her plans.
Ugh, I could rant for pages, but I'll stop here.
I don't believe that chapter is out yet. But, even a win may not mend her relationship with zed.
It was ironic to watch Estelle going on & on about her friends not telling her about a party & that she's cutting them off because of the betrayal. Yet, Luci did exactly that same thing to zed.
It's probably the author's way to make Luci see things from Khalid's perspective.
Even though there a similarities to their circumstances, their response to said circumstances are worlds apart.
I get Khalid was broken from a young age, but how did he go from "I'll protect her by concealing the truth" to "ill kill her so she never has to learn the truth"?
I felt a slight tinge in my heart when the king nearly beat him to death. And, to see his shell of a father tell him to do nothing. So, I suppose I feel a little sympathy for lil Khalid. I can excuse a child who didn't tell her for fear that the king might physically harm her. But, as an adult, would you not want the person you care so dearly for to know everything she's so willing to die for is a lie?
He is just a twisted psycho who killed who he loved the most because once she learned he concealed the truth from her, she'd hate him. And rightly so. I can't begin to imagine what she felt as she learned the truth as Luci. To learn that every single person she held dear lied to her at every turn. Devastated doesn't come close to what she must've felt.
On to the subject of Zed, she should've told him who she was. Estelle & Zed shared conversations no one was privy to. That's how she could have proven it.
Well, what's done is done. The only way she can ever hope to plead her way back into Zed's good graces, is to tell him everything. All cards on the table. Everything laid bare. And beg for forgiveness.
Like most guideverse stories, the esper gets obsessed with the guide because she can relieve his pain. This will likely be more obsessive because she appears to be the only guide in this world.
Poor thing. She's destined to be locked up by whatever esper finds out what she is.
If the series has a any hope to succeed, it will need to give us something that is unlike other guideverse stories. So far, it's not there. But, one can only hope that the author gives us a unexpected aspect to the story.
I'll keep reading to find out.
...go to his bed!
And, if he takes advantage of the fact that she's drunk, I will drop this series faster than you can say rape.
He doesn't deserve it, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt.
Suspicious how he encouraged her to drink after she refused. But, again, I will try to remain optimistic.
As hard as it may be.
I give it for stars only because she's a little too dense for me to live it. I would expect her to be street smart & have common sense. I'm guessing they made her that way for comedic purposes but I think it takes away from what could be a really great series. Being a strong lead shouldn't just mean she can kick your ass.
It also doesn't seem like she is learning to cope with her new body.
But, I'll continue in hopes she will learn & grow. Fingers crossed








...you're killing me. Does every chapter end in a cliffhanger? Don't get me wrong, it always leaves me wanting more. But, each day feels like an eternity waiting for the next chapter. Damn I love this series.
I am hoping that, once they makeup, they time jump passed the pregnancy. I know, people just eat that shit up, but not me.
Whether it's a woman or an omega man, a pregnancy arc just doesn't do it for me. They can have flash backs of any emotion altering moments for them.
You can read all of It on yaoitoon. Idk if the translation is accurated but It seemed fine to me.
