THE MC LITERALLY TORMENTED ML. Mc is stupid and ignorant when it comes to feelings, which is dumb. When she turned into an adult, the sweet became bittersweet, the promise not at all fulfilled because of mc. Ml is cowardly and won't force mc at all, he won't confess at all. At the 2nd prince's banquet, ml told her, that marriage should be about love, about your partner blah blah blah then told her that he never meant to fulfill their promise but specified "So can you please stop avoiding me?" Because he's tortured since coming back from the war, after that scene, mc came home with a blank mind only thinking "he's so lonely... i did too much" and she meant by avoiding him and only felt guilty, not an ounce of thought about how he liked her. She even arranged several dates for him to find his 'destined partner' which infuriated him and also told her that night at the banquet "Thank you for taking the time of picking them for me, I'll definitely attend them" or something at that line. After that, mc felt nothing at all because she's that numb to feelings. Also, the suitors are annoying. Now that I think about it, just every characters liking mc makes it annoying because why? They like her cuteness... the story is fast paced and enjoyable but it went downhill ever since she had her coming of age. A shame that it author seemed to have rushed it.
Trust me, it would get annoying like really annoying when she becomes an adult because author kept adding ingredients for jealousy. The 2nd prince, the twin's bestfriend named Clyde, and even a prince from the East which is one of the reasons why ml turns black. She ran away due to finding the holy relic for her spirits, one for the water forgot it's name was found in the snowy mountains and the other(pink bear) was found in the river. Due to ml's light and darkness spirit saying that mc might've ran away because of him, ml searched for her in the guise that she should be protected as one of the rarest spiritist(? I think that's what they call those who hold spirits) then posted a wanted order of her XD
THIS IS GETTING SO THRILLING AND EXCITING!! I love it, simply a masterpiece, the art, the dialogs, it’s almost perfect! And just my theory but the real Luciana seems to still be inside her, either she has now two souls which is what she meant by “that evil star of the east took a liking to you, big brother.”(when she was sleepy: chapter12) or the real Luciana could be her second personality, most likely would be the real Luciana is still within her, and real Luciana knows the truth about her. GOSH THIS IS SO SUSPENSEFUL! I LIKE IT!
I swear if Etam doesn’t make trouble with that family, I am dropping this. Richard doesn’t mean harm, yes, I liked him at first saying like “Oh a yandere” but then adopting mc just because Richard wanted to have ‘someone’, Duke Kolins doesn’t even like her! I wouldn’t have been so pissed off if I knew that they would treat her well but I can’t see her being happy there, Kolins family is more like a prison than family for her. Like come on! I would’ve accepted him as the male lead or one of the love interest but suddenly adopting her without her knowing, this is what I hate the most. What about her opinions? Do they even know how hard it was for Etam to convince her to come back?! He searched everywhere for her and treated her sincerely while Richard’s family is like “Let’s adopt her because Richard likes her”!!! They adopted her so Richard has a playmate! And this darned brat Richard, I get that he was lacking affection and he saw affection in mc but that doesn’t give him the right to control her! I liked him at first because he looked precious but I cannot once I saw this, made me realize how toxic their family is. Even Etam needed Eirin/Airin’s opinions when it comes to these things, he didn’t force her like them!!

Mc takes her father's hands and Erno hugs her in his arms T-T! But before that, Mc and Erno talked about some things like how it used to be a game but Erno regretted it and thought of mc as his real daughter (he said maybe ever since she protected him during the berserk state). Here's a little of what they talked about. (mtl)
"Did you enjoy running away... daughter?"
"Nope"
"Okay, let me tell you in advance, but the second runaway..."
He warned me with a cool and subdued voice.
'Runaway then what?'
It scared her a little.
"Welcome back, Eirin"
"...... I'm home."
In reply, he gently patted my back. Was it to reassure me? My eyes turned blurry and my head landed on Erno Etham's shoulder along with a warm pat.
sorry, I did my best to edit it since it was mtl.(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Her engagement was almost cancelled when just in time, IO came and changed the Freesia flowers to black and the freesia mark on the og fl disappeared of which resulted in the four men saying that she was pretending to be the Freesia Priestess if I'm not wrong and she was punished by house arrest. Honestly I was enjoying how dumb and unrealistic the story is, I know, I'm such a masochist and a sadist but it's fun hehe. (The mark of the Freesia is something like a mark of the Saintess in other otome mangas like these, she's like the beloved child of the goddess, or supposedly what they believed in? Idk, not so sure)
The author wanted to make it look like the fl was living in a real world and not in the game especially when she slaps the of fl. Yes, she slapped the og fl because the og fl kept saying things like it's all just a game and everyone will live once again so it's fine blah blah blah, telling our fl that she should get out of the stage since she's a villainess and all. Og fl then said that she's going to subjugate a higher being moonless butterfly if I'm correct by sacrificing the lives of the people around her and in turn she gets her reverse harem route but gets a slap from mc lol, I've been waiting for that haha
Which is why it's out of realistic because the four love interests were basically following the will of the flowerbed, aka which color blooms. In this case, author made the characters seemed interested in the fl from earlier chapters to make it seem like they can break away from the fate of marrying the og fl but no, if IO didn't come and change the Freesia flowers to black then mc would've been a pushover like always and watch everything unfold. (Also, IO is an apprentice gardener, developers said that once she feeds him snacks then she'll turn the interest towards herself which she ignored basically the whole time, and 'unconsciously' did it because she saw IO as a pitiful little kid, like a younger brother.
So after the Freesia turns black, in an instant the four was on her side lol, so dumb, it's like a game, tho I believe it's because of the lack of empathy and details that these kind of loopholes appeared.
AND...
The Freesia sigil appeared on our fl which I expected HAHAH it appeared after the ml and her kissed. The developers made it so that there could be a new 'hero', also, some extras but the developers are all girls lol. ALSO, because as a hero, she needed a rival, apparently, a new hot guy appeared, and I think he's the boss of those butterflies. Honestly, I think I want her to be with the hot guy last boss instead of the prince and the others who can be controlled by the flowerbed lol. as for the background of the new hot guy, I only know that he's a boss connected o those butterflies, because of the translations I can't really comprehend other things.
Then turning to get side because of that made me dumbfounded tbh
