I think both of them are right, just too extreme in their views.
A person can't always care about what other people are saying, there would be no end to it, especially in a position of power.
At the same time, being considerate to your employees (i.e. smiling) should not be a bad thing, they are providing a service to you but they are still people.
To find a compromise between their beliefs would not be a bad thing.
Ok, just to pick this up again after the new chapter.
He LEFT her? After saying that he would prefer drinking the poison tea himself rather than watching her do it? Really? One person can kill themselves but the other one can't be put at risk, with a really strong healer by their side who could save them?? (Nine was made aware of all the different elements/roles of the plan, he cannot say the FL hid things from him)
They are not in a romantic relationship and she made that clear. She also explained her responsibilities as a noble and the freedom she gives to her servants as she considers them friends. Lastly, she doesn't know about Nine's crush as he never told her.
And his resolve to protect her is to leave and sulk? Is he truly a 9-year-old kid? Does he consider himself weak? Weak enough that whatever the FL decided to do, he can't protect her?
So a man can have pride and act rashly, but a woman should only be proper and meek? If the gender roles were reversed what would be everybody's reaction? (last part is an honest question, not looking for a fight)
You actually summarized what i feel. I’ve always liked Nine bcs he’s so sincere with his love for melissa but somehow he was iffy in this chapter for me...i dont know if it’s bias bcs im a woman and i understand melissa more but melissa isnt dumb enough to surge into trouble without a backup plan :( she’s not your typical fl who just goes into trouble bcs she knows some ml will save her...it’s clear that she thought this through :(((
Yes! Exactly!
But I feel if Nine continues to act the way he has (overprotective), he will lose in the end. I do feel he is a good guy, but he is forgetting that our FL is a strong woman. She trusts her friends to be on her side and that is why she is telling them her plan. If he causes a scene trying to (over)protect her, the FL will either send him away or not share her plans with him anymore. Also, I might be using the word friends, but that's not actually the case, she is their boss. She respects them and their abilities, but ultimately, the final decision belongs to her.
If Nine simply plans on advising her, that's great. But, if he is going to scold her, that is going to become a problem. Pride is not the exclusive monopoly of men.
I agree with you. However, Nine does not know what happens in the story, and is more worried that Melissa is always putting herself in harm's way when as a servant he's the one who should be getting hurt in her place. He has that sense of loyalty and maybe wants Melissa to depend on him more.
Although that that right now is being interpreted as overprotectiveness to Melissa since she has the armor of what's going to happen in the story, she should definitely be more careful even though she generally is careful when plotting such things.
All the times she teaches one of the male leads a lesson in their own way she is putting herself in danger, especially with a sicko like Peacock. She has to be more careful with this "getting poisoned " plot, but this high risk play has high rewards
Yep, that's true, she takes great risks and Nine wants a deeper relationship of trust between himself and the FL, as he has a crush. At the same time though that is a very one-sided feeling (on Nine's side) and that might be where my uncomfortable feeling comes from.
My belief is that protecting her doesn't necessarily mean locking her in a tower full of pillows. Sometimes, it means to trust the other person too.
Plus, it can be said that she is being more careful than usual as she is telling her companions what is going to happen next. But it is a high-risk play, as you say, so maybe a little more care in her plan might be good.
I kind of want to see the next chapter and see what their discussion will be about as nothing is certain yet.
Yeap, I do agree Nine does have a crush on Melissa and that is kinda cute but also sometimes makes it hard for him to express how he feels as someone who wants to be more depended on since he did get more powerful after transforming(?)
So far when he did trust her, Melissa still went and got quite reckless at times, which is definitely not how most nobles would act, they would send their subordinates (like Nine's level) to do their work and at times, dirty work for them.
Hope Nine can just express what he wants to tell Melissa, crush or not, to take more care of herself!! She's an important daughter of the Dukes house!
You are right! I hope so too!
Thank you for the upload but is there a different version? The translation is very good but the pixels... ahhh, the pixels.
Is there a possible way of uploading another version of this chapter?
it is from FB ...
not from the group
I don't know this translating system (and groups) very well, but somebody must have translated it to upload it on FB, right? So, I thought that there might be a translated version that isn't pixelated (as the censorship was done for FB) and the/a group could post it here? That was what I meant.
Thanks for your answer though! I hadn't realized that the group was not involved with the latest chapter.
It just felt so damn unconfortable while reading this. I want her to run and never come back to all those who are telling her to give up her freedom simply because he likes her (stalker!) and he is a prince.
They are all bad people!! (Except the FL)
Keito is a man who truly loves his work and sweets. In a way that was how Gino was able to seduce him, through his passion. Having that in common, both loving the others food is a good basis of any kind of relationship. Obviously the way Gino went ahead was wrong, but he was never truly rejected by Keito (until he did but at that point Gino stopped touching him as requested) and it is true he was sleeping around, but he was not in a relationship with Keito. And when Keito told him that he had to be faithful he immediatly agreed. So not perfect start, but in a way, just a messy one.
As for Masayuki. I'm sorry for those who cheer for him, but I don't like him. He was romantically interested in Keito for three years and never asked Keito out because he believed he would be rejected. He never made a move but got jelous and violent when another man did? Sure Keito knew about his feelings so he could have done something about the situation too, but in the end Keito did refuse Masayuki for Gino. Masayuki's reaction? Punch Gino, make Keito feel guilty and then attack him too. He is just a human being, sure, but unprovoked violence of any kind is never acceptable.
This is just how I see the relationships for now, and I am more then ready to see any back story to understand these characters better to change my mind later, but not at the moment.
(This is a personal opinion, I do not want to attack anybodies beliefs. Please be kind if you want to comment. Thank you)
you know every one's belief and opinion are respecteble itself but i'm agree with you and at the same time i feel bad if masayuki leaves the restaurent ! i hope he ends up with a good one . actually i dont why but i like masayuki to end up with the part timer(forget the name).
Yes, in a way, I also want to see his development and growth. And if he can find love with the part-timer all the better!
i still think masayuki shouldve been with keito i mean gino and keito are a good ship but masayuki and keito are even better
