I don't think Jacques is trying to do the deed with Theo. I think she knows he's suffered some sort of damage (his back, and maybe other places hidden by his clothes), and she just wants to check the wounds out. I know we had that steamy bath scene where we saw Theo mostly naked and there weren't any wounds or anything, but that could be an illusion spell or something that Theo casted on himself, and Jacques has just seen through all the bs and is not taking any of it anymore. Or she wants to study Theo's changes after he came out of Umehiko's mind?
I know Jacques was first introduced as "Dr", but I'm wondering if she is only a healer kind of 'Dr', or "Dr" as in PhD, and loves to study different effects of magic.
Titles aside, she seems to have fun being misleading, so there's that. I think she just let her shirt drop to be extra misleading for shits and giggles (for her, at least). I don't think she's necessarily lesbian, even though she dotes on Momo a lot. I think it's more like a caretaker-and-ward relationship.
Not saying fanfics are bad, but there are a ton of fanfics where there's memory loss (usually Asami) or badass Aki.
I feel like this might be important to the whole entire Aki falling into the abyss with Asami thing. He has to be broken first to get the skills necessary to survive the underworld. The easiest way to explain getting good in a short amount of time is amnesia + brainwash.
Then Asami will try to help Aki recover his memories by recreating sexual encounters, and creating doubts in Aki about his current "truth". Sort of like, "Your brain can forget, but Your body remembers. " type thing. Then they'll finally take down Sudouzaki. Man, they're annoying as fuck.
Actually i think it will be the other way around.
Asami has to fall into the Abyss of fearing he lost Akihito to admit all of his mistakes and shortcomings and become a better person.
Asami fell in love with Akihito because Akihito "lives in the world of light" and is not a part of Asami's underworld. If Akihito now became a part of the underworld he would cease to have THAT appeal to Asami - and it would be a character-rewriting that would make the Akihito we once knew come to an end.
And especially that last part I do not see. In terms of writing Akihito is to remain the everyman, the one we can easiest identify with, the one which withstands everything and remains true to himself
He can't become a part of the underworld, but it will be Asami who will have to save him finally to protect and to shield him of that world.
...Well, there's lots of guesses about why Hansel isn't affected. I'll just throw another one out there: what if he's the cliche Prince-with-a-pure-heart character who breaks curses? I mean, we've got fairies, witches, witch hunters, magical beings half and whole, princesses, but we have yet to see a Prince at all.
In the prologue chapter, we see that Hansel works(?) in a castle, but it felt more likely that he became a Prince. So sometime after he and Gretel were separated from Yielle, he must have somehow become Royalty (or maybe he was always Royalty, but was separated?M. In a dream Yielle has in one of the chapters, she's living with him in the castle, but he's called Arthur instead...or maybe I'm mistaking the details?
Anyway, I think Hansel being the Prince character could also explain resilience against curses and spells. He needs to have the thick plot armour to allow him to be the ML of the story.
"I didn't divorce you so you could marry a playboy"!? Bitch, don't make it sound like you did her a favour.
Souvieshit, YOU cheated on her by bringing in Trashta and always taking her side when she was being unreasonable. YOU always acted like Navier was SUCH a thorn in your side, even though she was just following protocol and Your trashta couldn't handle Royal Rules.
Now you got what you wanted, Navier peaced out cuz she don't want to take your crap and now you're offended at her choices. You're angry because she isn't all sad and stuck on you? Sir, you must be the definition of hypocrisy.
The only thing to make this scene better? If Trashta was there to see her man trying to win our Queen back (Haha,no way loser). She'll probably break down in tears and freak out because this is ALLLLLL Breaking her teensy, black heart. Boo fucking hoo, you "won" yourself a loser, Trashta.
Love a rational FL, I wish she would have just told the possible ML (he ain't ML in my mind) straight up that he doesn't love her, he just wants to own her.
She should point out that he is toxically manipulative, what with that dream spell shit. What's more disturbing was how all this started from his POV. She reminds him of Spring flowers that he saw with his Mother once. So is he seeing a glimpse of his Mother in FL? Why? Not to mention if that was the reason for his attraction to her, I gotta say he's got more than one issue to work out... Dude needs a lot of counselling.
i get what you're saying and i agree for the most of it, but the ml doesn't see his mother in the fl, he's reminded of the love that his mother gave her. im not sure if that makes sense but he said that he felt empty, or wasn't sure what to feel before he saw the fl... i guess what im trying to say is that he was reminded by the "warmth" and not his mother from the fl
I get the feeling she won't directly say it's the Crown Prince, but allude by saying "some psychotic killer in the Royal family"and ML is going to go on some secret mission to off every member of the Royal family he thinks fits the description (oblivious to this description being about him). Meanwhile, Duke Daddykins will be more sure than ever that ML should definitely be crossed off the candidates list.
OR
She'll tell him and be Absolutely horrified. ML will be somewhat irritated but ask her why she's so terrified of possibly becoming the next Queen. Like, "What is so terrible about being married to the Crown Prince? You'd have power and riches!" and she'll talk about why she is so terrified, and how she just wants to live her life quietly and freely. This just makes ML admire her even more because he thinks she's being humble.
He'll mentally make notes on how to make her feel less scared while mentally applauding his teacher. 'I get it now,you've entrusted Your treasured daughter to me.I'll definitely take over the throne and make sure nothing can hurt or scare her'. Then, daddy conflict begins.
"Now that she has the Crown Prince's affections, she can't bother to spare attention on us"!?
Umm, she's the Crown Prince's personal maid. That was established from the beginning when this weirdass pageant thingy began.
Rachel, you yourself was happy when the Crown Prince's personal maid waited on you. You said it yourself, how did she doing her ACTUAL job become "Oh, she slept with the Prince to get attention"?? How delusional do you have to be to conclude that??
"Carrying out the Prince's orders" is what she was supposed to do, her waiting on you was just the Crown Prince's way of monitoring you.
How did the title "Crown Prince's personal maid" get lost on you two people?? She is obviously going to be close to the Crown Prince? I mean, that's why she's his personal maid and not just any maid...if he doesn't take his personal maid on the inspection, who's he supposed to take? You guys? You both failed in settling diplomatic relations with that last envoy...
dem salty bitches: *sees Crown Prince walk down a hall with Marie behind him* OMG, Look at the slut trying to get close to the Prince! She trying to seduce him!
Crown Prince: Marie, please make sure this is all Settled and done.
Marie: Of course, Your Highness. *goes to filfill said task*
Salty b's: Look at her, making a shameless pass at the Prince!
Black haired bitch: Maid Marie! Stop this impertinence!
Crown Prince: *wtf face* Tribute Arial, you forget your place. You overstepped in ordering my maid. What exactly did she do that was impertinent? >:I
...Is the white cat that is the main character's system the same one SO was always tangled with in every story timeline? The plot thickens...(?) Or is it actually the system?
