i hope the manhwa would change its plot from the novel because from the spoilers i've read, the duke and duchess get back together which is utterly ridiculous and shit. the whole time i was reading the duchess' thoughts, i felt like crying. she was starved to have a divorce and basically only agreed to it finally so her maid won't suffer anymore. then, she wants to have a shot of happiness before she suffers to another marriage but the duke is here yet again, interfering. like wtf. the only time he had sex with her was when he wanted it and as soon as he's done pleasuring himself, he'd leave her. he didn't even kiss her. now cue present, he had the guts to tell her that she should've told him about her needs. like wtf do he think their sex should've been? he was the only one supposed to feel pleasure?????? plus he was the one who planned and even made her suffer to get a divorce but now that she wants her own happiness, he gets jealous at the thought of her being with another man that she tricked her that he's someone else. i really hope that the duchess would get together with the blonde knight in the manhwa instead of the duke because he gave her nothing but pain. but my hopeful thinking would be probably impossible. but here's to manifesting that cemi would be the male lead in the manhwa instead of the duke because the duke is a huge piece of shit.

i'm excited for the upcoming chapters that i can't wait for updates to see what happens next. but, i've already read the novel so all i can really do is wait for the updates of the manhwa oomf

i hated him so much, esp when i found out about what he did to the original young penelope. but he did show brotherly affection towards her during the carnival, like when she escaped and caught her when her escape plan failed and even escorted her out the mansion. plus, after the attic incident where penelope let out her emotions, relating them to what the original penelope went through, reynold realized that what he did was wrong. he tried to apologize- or he really did, i can't recall, during penelope's training. and now, as penelope stated, he was the first to come running to her when she was nearly attacked. he also 'protected' her from vinter (i prolly would too to my little sibling because dude, their age gap). he also acknowledged penelope's skills in using the crossbow. he also got an ointment in advance for her and applied it for her. so idk, i just really love him since he acknowledged that what he did was wrong and though, it's really awkward and hard for him, he's trying to make up for it and he's trying to act like a real brother now. so yes, he's just a really admirable person. he would become an even more admirable person in the next events so yeah, he was terrible in the original timeline and even in the first chapters of this timeline but upon realizing that he was wrong, he changed. that's what makes him a good guy that i now love. meanwhile, derrick could go die in a ditch and i would not care even a bit.

I love him because his emotional immaturity is understandable if you think of his perspective. He was a young boy who’s sister died, then he gets another sister. So the lack of finding his sisters body, combined with a new sister who prayed his younger sister would never be found must have been traumatic and stressful. The maturity he has now to try and understand Penelope while understand the emotional neglect that was caused is admirable knowing how much trauma he went through in his adolescence.
I WAS SCREAMING PLS LET THIS BE YURI PLS OMG
