‘However, there was something Harol did not know.’
It was something only the author and the readers would know. That one line was enough to make Harol’s anger worthless.
< Harol Kodiang. He was a product of his parents’ love, but unfortunately, he would never know the truth. >
The novel did not go into detail about it. All it said was that the liege of the Magic Tower met her when he was out training as a young mage and fell in love.
Harol Kodiang's background is one of my "What ifs" in this novel, I just can't imagine how unsaid truths could have changed a lot - the war, the deaths, especially how magic was used in the Whipper Kingdom and its influence in the main story (White Star and Empire). Of course, it's just me making it a big deal but yeaaah he's a love child and it just makes me feel sad somehow
Harol knew that his father is the Tower Master. It's just that he thought he left them and never loved his mom since she died while giving birth and couldn't tell their love story. and the mom is also from the magic resistant faction (which is the opposing group of the mages) moreover, Tower Master never knew Harol's existence, he never knew that the woman he loved gave birth to his son and so, if he never visited them nor acknowledged Harol, (and obv continued to be the evil Tower Master that ended up dead) it definitely resulted to a huge misunderstanding for Harol and yep, his rage.
Yeaaah, the 'truth' he didn't know was pertaining to the love between his parents. Since the both of them were from opposing factions Harol prob. thought the Tower Master deceived his mother. It was also mentioned she died giving birth "alone" and didn't know about him, that's what fueled Harol's hatred to his father, and prob. to mages cause he can't use magic despite being a half. I was also rereading the novel at the moment and loved this part, that's why I have a good grasp on it hehe
Uihyeon: people will drag us if we performed the same song for an entire year!!
Me as an exol remembering kokobop era fancams:
In all seriousness though, I'm so curious of what the og Sihyeon's story is and though I liked how the members treat the amnesiac Sihyeon, there is definitely a gap within this group that got pushed under the rag after the accident and that it must be addressed ASAP if they don't want this peace to shatter.
I just can't help but cry reading these final chapters. I can't express enough just how much I love this work. They might have started with a toxic relationship and goes down to an overall depressing mode with all those complicated problems specially with Seonwoo, but I knew from the very start that they would be each other's cure. Not only because they are the leads but I believe their character complimented each other perfectly.
Yuri needs someone adult that would actually care for him and prioritize him and Seonwoo needs someone truthful, frank, and loyal. Not a fan of age gap nor student-teacher rsp, but I don't think Seonwoo would feel comforted by someone who isn't his student - he needs someone who knew what he really is as a teacher.
Yuri's assurance that he did well as a teacher because he was once his student and experienced it, and thought of it as one of his precious memories in high school, is I think the most valid answer that Seonwoo needed to let go of his burden, despite already seeing how he is when he's not in the classroom - brokenhearted, depressed, and even got into bad habit of drinking.
When Yuri finally get to clear his head and gave a coherent, decent, and respectful yet truthful words to Seonwoo reminded me of the Yuri I first loved in For Your Love. He is the reason why I read this anyway not the rebellious constipated young adult one lol
I'm really satisfied with how this all turned out, specially Yuri's "Form of Sympathy"
I'm so aloooone without even having someone make misunderstandings with me
