This story has gotten pretty stale (pun totally intended). What even is the plot anymore? Is she going to get revenge on her ex? Is she going to just run a bakery and invent new desserts? Is she becoming a witch? Is the emperor going to have her marry the second prince? Is she gonna go on an adventure and vanquish the poison from the world? I honestly don't even have a favorite character because everyone is so bland.
What if Donovan can also read minds? Like those scars on his head might be from an experiment to make him a telepath or something like that. But it could also be the experiment failed, makign him lack emotions/empathy, and now he wants to create supersoldiers with such powers, and Anya is an experiment who escaped?
WAITTT UR ONTO SOMETHING
He is definitely not normal but I doubt it's reading minds, otherwise Loid would've lost his Cover immediately when he met him.
Nobody was thinking here, it's something else, but I have no idea what tbh
