I love this story! I just wish it had more side stories. One thing I would have liked would have been if the crown prince and latte became friends. Made me a little sad how he forgot her and rarely remembered her. He liked her as a friend since he thought she was funny. Also just like a bunch of other people have said it would have been nice to have seen more of the black hair girl. You know dive deeper into her story or something. I would have loved to see more of Arwin and Latte spending time together. That's all. I'll definitely come back to read this story again.

How come when the top is young and short they get this random growth spurt? Like I don't mind he handsome as f$ck now but like idk?

i have two brothers i assure you they grow up so fast in the blink of an eye they exceed your height and strength. Just 2 years ago i could keep up with my brother when we fight ( not actually fight but more like wrestling ) now i dont dare. Not bcz he is a bad person or anything he is actually very kind ( i was the one always started the wrestling since im the oldest i just wanted to play that was our love language ) and he will surely not hurt me willingly but i remember 3 months ago he swing that punch at my hand ( i opened my hands and he was swinging slow punches ) i told him well increase the speed. The next thing i heard a crunch sound found myself crying. Well it didnt broke or anything i just sprained my wrist. ( I was always the strongest big sister for him so he thought i could handle) But he was crying with me too saying sorry sorry. Well i was the one at fault. But i got my lessons. He also learned now he is stronger and shouldnt use this strength even as a joke. ( we have 6 years age gap btw ). Im a short person just 2 years ago he was still shorter than me and couldnt get something from the shelves i would get for him now im the one who cannot reach the shelves and he is. So what im telling just 2 years changed so much things i think in 7 years heeso getting that grow spurt isnt weird.
Does Jermey like Shuri in that way? I thought he didn't since when his brother brought it up he was so angry and when he was talking it out with Nora he was disgusted. He even called her mom but someone up in the comments said that jermery does like her. I really thought that he didn't like her in that way.
i might be wrong it’s been a while since i read but i think he does like her romantically for a while but then he stops bc he knows that she’s only his mom… so he kinda just lets nora and shuri get their ending… I THINK????
I mean, I don't think he likes her romantically at all. He knows Shuri and Nora are close but he doesn't really mind.
yeah he just gets out of the way and i think he’ll have another person for him or he already does (im rereading i haven’t caught up yet)
all i know is he gave his blessing to nora and shuri
“There is a wall between us and if it were to crumble it would kill us both.”
He loved her but is aware that if anything were to change between them, they would both suffer for it. So he will never act on it and is willing to step away.
thisssss
So he did like her romantically?
Yes. It’s strongly implied.
And confirmed during the swordsmanship competition
i don’t think shuri liked him tho.. right?
It’s one sided
Idk how to feel about this
Well it’s a complex emotion and situation. I don’t think people are meant to look at it in black and white.
He was about 12 when his father married a 14 year old. He never saw her as a mother then. Who would? Even now, he calls her mother but I believe that is more out of respect for her position and the things she’s done for the family to protect them. She sees them as her children but she’s only slightly older than him. She is the HOTTEST woman in all the land apparently with all the powerful men collapsing at her feet. Bro is really fighting his inner demons to not act on his emotions and has successfully swallowed them at this point. He’s doing his best and that is commendable.
I don’t think our FL ever knew of his affections so she’s good. And even if she did and had a crush in return like—— could you blame her? Not only is he FINE she took on the mother role because she agreed to protect her husband’s family. The husband who never consummated the marriage or even loved her. She’s essentially just doing her job till he’s old enough to become the head of the family and then she’s out. Even he knows that and he wants to grow up faster to free her.
She was brought out of poverty to take on the role as temporary protector. And she’s a good and kind person who truly cares so she never abandoned the family even though she easily could have.
i love shuri so much!!! so sorry for jeremy but nora is just the right person.
doesn’t jeremy get a love interest later on in the series tho? i thought he was gonna…
