This story is so good.
The main characters are amazing. With a self-sacrificing lass and an over-protective man.
Her story is fucking tragic. People that say she's bland are so blind. She was groomed from her youth to be "perfect" by a step mother who obviously sees her as a piece of furniture. And, I suspect, as a trophy for her son, because that sick fuck obviously wants her. So. Add to that that she wants to protect her realm — and we have a controlled princess that has been moved like a marionette for all her life.
Then comes He. He, who, I think, was saved by her in their youth. I suspect he was a slave and it was her moves that saved him.
So. Loyal man that wants to rescue the princess.
I ADORE the way he arrived to her life to shake it all. Love how he keeps feeding her because he noticed how thin she was. Love how attentive he is.
Jesus christ.
I don't want to read any more yaoi-infested brains commenting wrongly on this story and its characters, because we seriously get shittier gay love stories that are PRAISED for the same fucking tropes this story has.
This story is great. The characters are well-made (so sorry if not everyone can see the depth). The art is gorgeous.
And I definitely NEED more.
