Spoilers?
I think the prince originally asked the fl to be his fiancee so she could read books because he liked her and couldn't think of another way to ask without getting rejected. So he made a "deal" hoping she would come to like him in time. Afterall the whole reasoning is kinda flimsy to begin with. Looks like the plan worked, but everyone is being too airheaded to realize it.
Whoever made this is wonderful and a perfect breath of fresh air. I think I'm in love
Its it possible the exlover's soul got split in 2, where the prince is the side with the memories and the priest has the feelings? The priest seems to be getting a lot of screen time, but the backstory is too big to ignore.
Oooooh, that would be a great plot twist and a total separation from the usual story line.
Buuut, it won't happen since most mangaka follow the same thing. :(
Honestly, I kind of hope the abusive brother got reincarnated too because 1. It gives the backstory more relevance than just flavoring and 2. I think it would be a good opportunity for Rose to overcome what was done to her. It's kind of framed that she died running away from him and this world is an escape from him, but we know from the history that he has an uncanny nack for following her wherever she goes. She needs to face him or someone like him head on if this is ever going to be resolved.
Was he abusive or obsessed? I’m worried he raped her and know no one would believe her
I think he might have raped her.... not super sure but they made it sound like he did
Thank you.
Manga, if you're going to make Travis objectively outright abusive to his staff, don't frame him as the misunderstood lover who just needs to cuddle! This is seriously unhealthy. He's leaning toward yandere level, probably has already, but you're treating him like a normal male lead. This is like Harley x Joker. It's sad that to snap out of the "aww he cares about her" bubble, I have to say out loud "he stabbed one of his most long standing and loyal staff for mildly scolding the FL." Are we officially in reader Stockholm Syndrome yet?
I get why your mad. But are you forgetting his past? He isnt human. You cant expect him to behave like one. You don't seem to understand his character and why he is who he is. Male leads dont exist just to be these righteous honourable knights in shining armor. I hate cliche. And this is not cliche. Therefore I like it.
You also cant expect the people from their world to have our aspects in life. Dont forget what happened in the past of humanity. Stories like this tend to have inspiration from who we humans used to be. More tham what we are now. In the past if you had weird eye color theyd burn you for being a witch. That was reality then.
But this is fiction
I'm not expecting him to be all chivalrous; Naofumi from shield hero also has a lot of trauma he's working through, it clearly affects his actions, and is an amazing character! But he doesn't just stab someone because they made his wifu slightly miffed. And when he does something awful, the show makes it very clear that it's not healthy or encouraged.
But here, when Travis nearly kills someone for even annoying the FL, he's somehow "protecting his love" and it's framed as either a fluffy good thing or just a kind of side sweep. I'm not giving him a pass to torture people just because I think the main couple look cute together and he's got standard tragic past #276. The story should at least address it as a serious problem. Like the FL still being slightly afraid of him because of their first encounter, that was good! And he's actively trying to change his behavior around her to make her feel comfortable. Also good. However, the story doesn't seem to have a problem when Travis does even worse things to the other servants. He hasn't really changed, just became obsessed with the FL.
There comes a point when a person is really not mentally stable and should be seeking counseling and focusing on working through their issue instead of romance- see 50 shades of Grey. This perpetuates the equally annoying and far more dangerous cliche that you can "fix" or "change" a person of you just love them enough. Everyone is going to have baggage, but if your baggage causes you to STAB one of your closest allies, romance is going to make things worse.
So what did the goddess say on page 12?!!! (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
"I've never truly fallen in love"
...
...
Dude, you're 12!!!!
XD 12 is forever to a 12 year old
to them 12 is already adult !
My thoughts exactly, OP.
“Dude, you’re 12”
I SAID THE EXACT WORDS OUT LOUD AS WELL (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Wait about five months, and then get her pregnant. Emperor can't make them divorce with a baby on the way. Public support would be in shambles! And five months in, they can't say she cheated during the war. Come on, man! She's been your wife for like ten years now and you're both legal adults. IT'S OK TO HAVE SEX WITH YOUR WIFE!!!
I agree, get us a sweet baby with her eyes and his hair so nobody can misjudge and say the child is his brother's cause the black hair comes from his mother lol
EXACTLY(⌒▽⌒)
Shit it's totally possible as a plot twist ;-;
I just love the 111 thumbs up of this thread XDDD
That moment when you realize the solution is that same one as the FL's greedy brother, because he wants to stay in-laws with the royal family...
So basically, he knows she's a woman, but she doesn't know that he knows. And he thinks she knows he knows. So he basically proposed right in front of her to give her time to think about it, meanwhile she thinks he's talking about someone else. This may take a while to unravel, folks...
He knows that she doesn't know that he knows. He's just teasing her by describing her without her knowing.
(⊙…⊙ ) dudes I'm getting woozy ...
XD
