It put a blight on their career, but at the same time gave them some breathing space in a situation where they were suffocated by expectations???
I can't hate the guy, especially since he openly admitted, voluntarily backed off from the kids, & tried to change rather than deny what he did.
I REALLY love how wholesome & human these characters are.
If the general populace / knightage / palace staff would just all accept the 2nd princess with minimal resistance given all the things MC accomplished.
I'm starving for a story were the general populace has some form of personal agency rather than be blind followers of whoever is in "charge"
I mean , seriously, who, in their right mind, prefer a princess who was MIA during the whole fiasco over the one who took command, forced the invaders to retreat, brought order & peace during war times, and makes good well balanced plans toward restoration?
.... I have a feeling bitch princess has some mental gymnastic prepared to spin all that shit & take all the credit, no thanks to the double agent knight oldy with her (screw you)
Also, MC better not be a doormat / have no backup plan. She better show some goddamn definitive character development with regards to being a royal. It's been long enough.

Me too, but if there is one thing I've learned is that Asians are constitutionally incapable of seeking justice in the face of power. "Shikata ga nai" is the prime directive. This also manifests in every stupid mc, usually female, who gives up at the first sign of actual resistance and twists it into some self righteous pity party sacrifice.

- in the end, was Sylph's countrymen really under the thrall of Kanna & the mysterious pull of the OG!Story or were they just plain greedy & vindictive enough to use Kanna as a reason to exile Sylph?
- why was Kanna's punishment to tell stories for 365 days?
- aside from their initial friendship, was there another reason why Sylph was trying to save Kanna?
I want Lister, Lisbeth, and the current ruler of Khallak(?) To die to bad
I might be wrong since I'm not exactly politically savvy, but isn't it a huge oversight for a monarch to unilaterally end a marriage w/o first ACTUALLY getting to know the other side?
Like, he made an assumption as if their laws & culture's absolute & shared by the entire world....
Isn't that incredibly arrogant for a monarch?
Doesn't that indicate that he may not actually be a good ruler?
Am i reading too much into this???
If this is like Helen of Troy situation, they might declare war.
Nah you are right, that prince is fucking stupid.
This is a combination of pure arrogance and stupidity in the making which doesn't suprise me but is still frustrating
If Ceasar's beating of Ruby started before or after her first marriage?
'Coz I think that changes the context behind his a abuse a bit.....q
I think he was definitely already abusing her, but in his pov its as if ruby liked him too. She probably DID say those things in order to not get beaten up by him, but he only recalls "the good memories in which ruby is also happy with him". He doesnt recall him beating her up as somethinf bad and he doesnt understand that ruby treats him gently in order to protect herself from getting even more beaten up. Its basically her protection mechanism and he thinks its her true feelings.

Hes basically delusional.

So. Many. Goddamn. Red Flags.
