1st prince is scummy…possible sociopathic, I mean he understands emotions well enough, but is envious of his brother whose had very little when it comes to the royal treatment or being treated like a human…will do nothing to get what he wants, and he trampled on literally the person that means the most to him…that made life worth living. Of course he left out the before part about taking romance/engagement seriously with Will.
I’ve been looking forward to this update, though I hope it doesn’t take me for a ride and crash. Thanks for updating this! (⌒▽⌒)
*venting ahead*
I liked Elsa’s mom and dad’s love story, and I get that the dad was grieving, blaming himself when the emperor required unreasonable workload from him…yes he lost the love of his life but that baby there in his grief the mindset could’ve been, let me love this baby with her mother’s share as well. Keep my wife’s memory alive by telling our story or reading it after writing it down since he’s no good with words, not marrying that horrible woman to keep up appearances or whatever it’s better to be a widow. I mean the flower power that I hated seeing in Karen was sweet when dad gave those roses to mom. Like others said in his grief and cowardice he failed his older daughter and sullied his love’s memory. ╥﹏╥
Which is addressed? I don't get the outrage. The story lit up why he was so neglective of her, let us understand his deep seated grief and self loathing, which he channeled into the one this he could easily use as a scape goat, seeing her at fault for everything.
But of course, that is an explanation and can be taken into consideration, but it isn't an excuse. It isn't treated as one, either. He didn't seem to think his apology would grant him some type of absolution and if there's any misunderstandings, Elsa made it clear to him as well.
It's not magically mending her broken childhood. But she's healing now, she doesn't need to hold onto a grudge like that, seeing as her father is still suffering in his own way, BECAUSE he knows he failed her and now even fell from grace now, and doesn't even do the work anymore that she used to love about him. I get it, he's a hateful hobo now. But seriously, the story treated this situation as organically and fittingly as possibly.
I agree the audience understood the why, nothing was forced. It was handled very well like you said. Just wrote out my thoughts after I read, as far as the outrage I think in general people have a low threshold for child abuse/neglect. Then I think in addition to the ongoing mistreatment of the child Elsa’s dad had with the woman he loved, yes he was overworked which wasn’t his fault. But I think what upset me was what he ignored or didn’t bother to look into, if he wasn’t going to parent or love her and marry, set the groundwork that this is your elder sister/daughter under no circumstances are you to mistreat her. Then if someone did, grounded, I’m surprised as a higher noble he didn’t have eyes everywhere to keep an eye on his wife and daughter knowing that may be up to no good. I mean the only one with any concern about how she acted was the child he neglected.
i don’t think he wanted to remarry to be honest. how much he loved his wife it seemed as though he would have liked being a widow but we know how cruel the emperor is. he purposely kept him away from his pregnant wife forcing him to neglect her & not even being there for even during her last moments. that emperor could have forced him to remarry. he is from a prestigious family. as for him neglecting his daughter, yeah he could have cherished her from that moment on but we know that his character tends to run away from his feelings. he bottles it up and doesn’t face it head on. it’s understandable, in his sense, to run away from facing his wife’s death & looking at the daughter who resembles his wife so much. the hard thing about grief is that a lot of people tend to fully understand how deep it can affect people. a lot of people don’t try to understand how grief affects and individual even in a way that we may not like. we have to understand that he was grieving and that he was grieving in such an unhealthy way that it unfortunately caused misfortunes for someone else & he acknowledged that. hopefully, he can grieve in a healthier way & maybe sometime down the road him & his daughter can have a healthy relationship. she may not forgive him now but they don’t mean it’ll last forever.
I never expected that the adventurer she was supporting took actions into his own hands, and his origin is so sad. This is one of those unexpected gems. ╥﹏╥
I get Celine's far too trusting and naive, but ch. 34 was especially painful to read. Will and her sister should not leave her alone. Firstly, baby why does your younger sister have to tell you that you started falling for Will? Secondly, one alarm went off why didn't she go with it, stay in public don't dismiss your bodyguards. Do you know Celine that your safety is the safety of kingdom, Will will set it ablaze if you die? And those men were talking about necrophilia and rape... ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
does the FL ever find out about her father and younger brother's antics and attempts to reconnect after watching her all along, do we ever have a family reunion? (〜￣△￣)〜
Will Elsa ever know where babies come from, possibly before the boys? (⊙…⊙ )
Right? How dumb must her father be? He wants her to have children but fails to teach her how they are made.
Yep, the nerve of that man having nothing to do with his oldest until the emperor demands him to use his daughter to get something from the only family she’s known. She’s not vengeful either, if not for her fam she’d do what he wanted. I realized this seems typical for the 17th to 18th century or before with even the noble women education. If the mothers don’t teach their daughters anything, then everyone expects young women to find out on their own. That “father” of hers even married a terrible stepmother who didn’t fulfill any maternal role, I wonder if her nursemaid could’ve taught her. I don’t see the problem with the mother-in-law teaching her, she’d be comfortable with her and someone has to tell her about the curse and why it’s dangerous to have kids.
Thanks for the uploads! Can we have chapter 83, I wondered what happened since suddenly chapter 84 came up. I read it regardless, but I’d like to know why the main culprit fled and how she stole the beetle headpiece. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
*spoilers and thoughts*
Mama said knock you out! I love how FL protects and loves her partners. It makes even more sense that was suppose to be in the protagonist body, I like the spin in her being the villainess role/body. But I’m sad that the fate of the world hinges on her death, I guess it’s like when the antagonists win in otomes or video games it’s literal game over. Except, the gods messed up in this world and she changed a reputation that was that seemed beyond repair. She’s so cool, that’s why her “sister’s” soul stalked her to another world I guess.
I didn’t think this would be continued, and so many chapters were added! Thanks so much I’m definitely going to enjoy the read! ヾ(☆▽☆)
