I nearly screamed after realizing what Clerivan meant
Guys, doesn't it mean that Florentia is more worthy than the other kids, to be in his class cause like, the explaination of their 'class' isn't to make them 'study', they do study but the most important part is how they are in class or how their brain works..... ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ correct me if I'm wrong, no need to be harsh.
Basically, it is like this. To expand it further, any children in the family are given the chance to be tutored at a young age, and most of them started at 8 or 10, but Tia started at around 5 since her grandfather noticed her holding a complicated book that children usually had no interest in reading and suggested to Clerivan to start having Tia in class.
These classes are where Clerivan would observe the children, seeing, as a Lombardy, how they would apply to business settings and take opportunities when seeing one, as they are a business related family. So, yeah, technically, it is a test to see who is a worthy successor, and who would carry the Lombardy name proudly. You can easily see how Tia's grandpa favors her when he invites her over for dinners and gives her presents or requests her for tea while other kids don't seem to have the same chance, right? This is because Tia has shown on one more occassion how she takes pride as a Lombardy, like with the prince situation, and won't bow to anyone, knowing they can stand on their own without being threatened by royalty.
Her grandfather has already seen her as worthy when he noticed how talented people seem to flock to Tia, or that she gives opportunity to the right people, while Clerivan has noticed a few things but what really made him realize how clever Tia was is when Gallahan mentioned that he wouldn't know how to proceed if Tia hadn't mentioned going to Clerivan, and that had Clerivan thinking that Tia, a child who is less than 10 years old, have been indirectly involved in the family's business venture and has somehow influenced its success by her little comments? So, now, this is what happened. Hope you understand it, I had a lot of tangents there.( ̄∇ ̄")
Kwon is like an on and off switch...one moment he's like don't overthink my action and stuff, this is just a physical relationship, and then on the next, he's like you can't decide on your own, I decide whether to take your emotion on or not. Like dude! Really! Can't you be any more contradicting? Then, he's harsh one moment, then consoling on the other. He insists on a purely physical relationship but pillowtalks Yoon, and kisses him like a lober should during the afterglow of sex. Can't you decide just which you want? Yoon would be lik, I can't burden him and stuff then Kwon proceeds to have very confusing reactions.
He's blunt on the wrong side of things.
I quite like the flow of this. The FL didn't back down because she has 'limited powers, sources, connections, etc.', she just flat out fired them while not fearing the consequences as she has the power of a crown princess. She didn't go in a round about way like most stories I've read where they hesitate because the situation seems hopeless, or they could still use those trashy people or whatever.
I like the straightforward direction it started, with no more mistreatment from servants who have superiority complex and justifying their actions on the basis that someone lost their worth because of an ill-fated circumstance dumped on them which just frustrates me to no end. It could just move on to the actual people who matters in the story.
I'M CONFLICTED!!! (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
In one side, I don't want Na-kyum to be kind of dependent to Seungho and his confusing emotions, but at the same time, I want Seungho to be given a chance because he's really clueless in the matters of the heart and ignorant of his emotions. He doesn't know how to express himself gently as he is used to people just prostrating to everything he wants out of fear but he desperately and cluelessly clings to Na-kyum without any idea why he is doing so.
Now this is a plot I'd definitely not drop.
Strong, independent FL
Cutie, warm, sparkly dadd-*ahem* dad
More focused on FL's development
No silly romance or children fighting over their 'crush', just a brief flash of the soon-to-be hottie ML(tho I can wait)
FL is focused on her goals
No cringy or big backstabbing against the child main(yet)
