I was in denial towards the beginning - like maybe he'a NOT the murderer but he has an evil twin or was framed or something. But yeah, it seems to be him. Also, that poor woman that got to safety and got killed anyway :(
I wonder why he targets women? Wasn't he assaulted by a man? I figured he target people closer to the reason for his trauma. Or maybe he hates women more for some reason. Or maybe he just kills women because they less able to defend themselves
This is fucking amazing. The straight up evil, twisted vibes. Though, there are some definite incestuous vibes from Dion. Obviously Cassis is the ml but i wouldnt be surprised if Dion was the 2nd ml lmao. The family already keeps humans as pets and dolls, and has butterflies drinking blood and feeds servants to demons - Id be more surprised if someone in this family didnt have that sort of unhealthy inclination.
Also is the story's original female lead supposed to end up with Dion? I know she was supposed to be brought in by Jeremy and like, tortured by the family or something. Actually, its a reverse harem so are all the guys in her family supposed to be into FL?
And Dion's obsession with seeing her cry - I guess in a twisted way it could be him latching on to actual raw emotion that no one else in his family portrays. She cried because he killed her brother and she was forced to kill him once again, so maybe he's obsessed with seeing her cry because kt shows she cares for people. I guess that might also be how the original FL attracted her harem - being a sweet heroine in the midst of crazy, emtionally-repressed hormonal guys...hmmmm
Uh, I'm getting sinister vibes from behind the seme's smile XD
Also, the art is ridiculously beautiful, kinda reminds me of BL motel in terms of atmosphere. The kind of flowery art that other mangas make fun if (yknow, the sparkle eyes and the flower background but done in a goofy way lmao), except in this case its obviously done so well that each page is an artistic masterpiece. And no one can say the seme doesnt deserve that flowery background and the rainbows ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Ok, so Estella has three layers.
Outter-most: female disguise - known by the public and the empress and the maids
Inner: Male disguise - known by her male friends, co-workers, the Countess, and supposedly the crown prince
Inner-Most: WOMAN - known by her new servant dude, probably the countess bc she undressed her, most likely the prince (because he's obviously in love with her and rarely in manga is a man that ends up with a women bisexual)
Sorry, was forgetting who knew her as what and forgetting her actual original gener so i had to type it out for myself lmao
