i just know that rotten rat man did not tell her anything about him leaving... i just want them back together ╥﹏╥
wait... is she...
okay so back in chp 83 did she really dream of ian? bc it sure looks like it could have been one of those precognitive pregnancy dreams people always have -- esp since the dream ends with "mom." could this be her child with ian? i know she's very against having children in this life, so i really don't know why the text would say "mom" without it being about her? so confusing...
sadly not a GL so i'm hoping for reirin and the eagle captain. i feel like the prince just doesn't deserve her? and low-key doesn't really appreciate her as she is. also the brother hinted to keigetsu that reirin is not allowed to become empress - makes sense, her aunt is empress, 1st cousins isn't the greatest genetically and doesn't seem to go well with the world building of the elements - basically too much of something isn't good. i also find the keigetsu and prince story far better? bc of how in love he is with reirin, i feel like it could be good for him to start to falling in love with 'reirin' when its keigetsu and they are swapped esp since she likes him already. i'm also unsure of reirin's feelings for the prince, i think she likes him but i think she also favors her independence more? while she honors her duties to an extreme i def think that a storyline could be that the prince chooses keigetsu and she becomes the lowest consort and can leave? or be with the eagle captain i remember something along those lines... ╮(￣▽￣)╭
AU them is just them in the future but they'll be together :) i just know it!!!
i think it's obvious that the ml's mom acts the way she does is a clear indicator of the unfortunate generational trauma she received. she had a difficult time having her son, so her in laws likely were incredibly hard on her and maybe even tried to get her to leave their son/have their son divorce her. since ml's dad clearly seems the type to not leave their spouse (plus he def loves her), she probably hardened herself with the resolve to be the harsh party just as the grandparent generation was hard on her. that's why she is so against mc if she is unable to reproduce -- i think she just wants her son to have a child to unburden herself and to ensure that the family line survives. not a good thing by any means, but i can see how she became the way she is. to her, it's better for the mc to leave the family than to deal with the trauma and pressure of the predecessors who want the mc to reproduce. if she can't do it in a year, it's better to save herself and for her son to try again. it's the most 'logical' approach to getting what everybody wants but it doesn't take into account the mc or ml's own personal feelings so it's wrong ofc. these are just my assumptions on how she became the way she was, but we gotta wait to see just what happens ╮(￣▽￣)╭
i feel like takaaki knew that koutarou was gay and has just been lying in wait for him? like maybe i've read too many psychological bl but it feels like he's plotting...
so did ethan just give her the spirit at the end of chp 60 or is that just him using the power? idk how he can just transfer the contract but it also isn't totally crazy
nakaba!!! i missed her omg i knew that this series was set in the same world as reimei no arcana but i had no idea that we would see nakaba (and loki rip) again! i was under the impression that this series is set after the events of reimei, but if loki is alive then it is set during ig? i wish the author was more clear about the timeline but maybe they will be in the next volume
