Hello once more
Again, easy chapter this time, though extremely funked up.
TLDR: Cameron has always been mentally unwell, Edgar's mom is living with rose colored glasses until forced otherwise, Edgar's dad is a bastard (like a shit person not a noble) and the maid does not get paid enough to deal with all this.
Cameron was born! His mother has died! He is obsessed with death and an absolute brat! Yay mental health issues that were never addressed! Also, he was ignored bc no one trusted his blood (like that is his to control)
Edgar's mother waited for years for his father to show up, and when he never did she hunted him down and asked for elope. She was excited for love, he was excited for the money, which is why he was dressed duper fancy despite being broke.
Once halfway gone, the mother realized that her son has been sold off and is heartbroken. The man she loved was not a good person, and she finally realized it too late.
The maid (also the narrator the last w chapters) actually says to the lady's gave "I am done, this is bullshit, and imma get home somehow. Good luck girlie pop have fun". Before she can leave, the mother gives her the locket she had made for Edgar. Says the maid needs to give it to him if they ever meet. Then she runs away, never to be seen or heard from again (imma assume she died, but up to interpretation).
After learning all this, instead of reacting like a sane person, Edgar is ecstatic, he is the emerald lover, he is who Cameron has been chasing now he can truly be loved and a part of a family.
Also side note. The reason he couldn't feel this way with June is because he is gay, but denied it for so long. Now that he's learned he is the cousin of Cameron, he feels that gives him permission to accept that part of himself (but only for Cameron, anyone else is indecent).
All in all, everyone is fucked

Ok so this chapter is pretty straight forward so im not gonna go into detail and just summerize.
First lady of the house died after giving birth to Veronica. The new lady came in with her sister, and all the servants loved them so they helped them however they could. The sister of the lady fell for a known scoundrel, the Irish gardener of the property. He wanted her money, she wanted to be loved.
They had a child, and that exposed the affir. The Gardner was given the child and told to fuck off, he was given a letter of recommendation to work somewhere else. However, he had a scar from when the master beat him, and he was extremely doubtful of the letter bc he couldn't read it. So why would he trust the man that is sending him off in a rage?
Edgar's mom was essentially put on house arrest and her actual husband was betrayed and no longer trust her. Edgar's aunt (the lady of the house) vouched for her innocence despite knowing her sister was guilty on all charges.
The aunt gave birth to Cameron (I didn't really catch this part the panels started glitching/repeating? Idk why but pls lmk how to fix that) and he was a reminder of infidelity. So nobody in this family is happy and yes they are all related.
Yay drama and suffering for plot! How delightful

Ok, so if yall don't like these lmk, but imma start breaking these down so it's easier to understand.
And yall, we do kinda need to start feeling bad for June, I don't like her but she is a victim.
Edgar and Veronica are fighting. Veronica is invading Edgar's privacy and demanding he tells her about what drugs he's taking, but Edgar is embarrassed about needed mental health, is exhausted, and frankly mad at the world so he lashes out at Veronica making fun of her romantic live towards Cameron.
Realizing his cruelty, he runs out to the doctor, where he talks about his life and what led him to this point. He also confesses to betraying June for his own benefit and jealousy (so to the person I was arguing with before, you were right I apologize). While there, the doctor starts talking about Passcel, and Edgar is shocked and offended by the doctors actions, bc that means Edgar's private information is being talked about to others as well.
After running out of there, Edgar walks in the rain depressed and discouraged until his mother's maid appears before him. Edgar doesn't know she served his mother, but looks at the pendant and realizes who is parents are, and that he is the emerald lover. What he will do with this info remains to be seen (mysterious oooooo~)
(Tldr: Edgar was mean to Veronica, realizes he's probably been outed by the doctor to others especially Passcel, and learned he is the emerald lover/who is parents really are)

Anyone have the novel link? Idk if someone shared earlier but I can't find one and I'm too impatient

If you want to continue reading from chapter 128 it corresponds to 133 in the novel ʕ ● ᴥ ●ʔ
Ok wow, this was a chapter.
To start, the former maid tells Edgar not to trust the Nobles bc they suck, and just to claim his own legitimacy for the sake of money. Edgar doesn't want that though, so he goes back to the estate (probably without telling Veronica) and meets with Cameron
We see flashbacks of Cameron, and it explains how he has always "worn his heart on his sleeve" and when someone catches his fancy, he will enjoy the attention but constantly test them to see if they truly love him and are willing to go the distance for him. Best example I can think of is how Joker made Harley jump into acid to prove her love.
To keep sane, Cameron has made a mirage of the Midnight Lover, and Edgar shows proof that it's him. Both men are so desperate for unconditional love that they'll take it from anyone who fits their description if it. Cameron's is his pedestal lover, and Edgar's is anyone who will never leave.
Yes they're cousins
Edgar and Cameron are cousins? Am I reading that right?
Unfortunately yes
And here I was hoping this was going to pay off by turning into a juicy BL... who is the target audience?
Couldn't tell you, im here for the drama and art
