Contrary to the comments I saw, I like the FL's priority first mentality. Not being swayed by emotions quickly and drop everything else just because of the handsome ML.. because it doesnt change her own status quo. Besides she'll figure it out soon, its just her mind is too focused on laying low, must not get caught up and safety first. Cause I dont know if people forgot but the sisters are still currently fugitives and lived in hiding for a long time now and are still are (the reason not yet revealed) in that very country and being close with the duke or any relation to the nobles (that works at/for the government) to fugitives is a bad thing in general + knowing the plot.. the duke & his place is the heart of danger so I get why shes anxious
Now about her being "annoying/stupid/frustrating".. FL left him because like most transmigrators she believed in the power of the plot + she believes that the duke still has the curse which was said that only the OG FL can cure. Thats why she thinks what she did and is doing right now is necessary, and that is to be out of the picture according to the original story cause she believes thats the only way for the OG FL can cure the duke besides the fact that she's a fugitive and all

Also more important reasons why the FL runsaway mentioned in another person's thread on the link, this 2 comments covers it all

FL believes in the plot that ML will fall inlove to whoever cures the curse (which is the OG FL) But heres what I think, I think FL already cured him of the curse sometime.. (cause I seriously dont remember any other symptoms of the curse aside from the turning into a child in the day, then since that doesnt seem to happen anymore so..) if true there wont be anymore reason to runaway cause the fugitive problem can easily be fix if ML defeats whoever is behind it

Also I dont see the connection that Michaelis is the
reincarnation/descendant of Abella's lover. I mean yea I was confused by the MC's flashback of Abel & Deborah (I thought it was Abella & her lover in that scene) but now that I reread and its not, just because Michaelis also said that ILY in ancient language, now Aisha is being manipulated by Abella's past thought/feelings. BUT WHY? there was no flashback or indicator that is implying that Michaelis is the Saintess' past lover's reincarnation. Why did it evoke Abella's thoughts/feelings for her lover towards him now? Is there a mistake or the priest did something and Aisha is being manipulated again

How can it be rape or non con when the uke went out to get drunk & to get laid?
-He knows full well what will happen after and thats what he intended (Also you dont go to these places alone to get drunk and expect nothing will happen)
-More so when the guy is the one that he likes (or in this case currently in love with) now im not saying its ok to get raped when you love the person cause I dont think this is considered rape
-More like Dub Con ("Dubious Consent" sex scenarios that lack clear consent and often involve themes such as intoxication etc. which this clearly is) cause yea he's drunk but definitely not rape.
-He's drunk not drugged or unconcious, He just lost his inhibitions which means he can still say "no" and struggle to pull away, which he didnt because he sees ML's face, the guy hes currently inlove with
In conclusion, Drunk Sex doesnt automatically mean Rape cause it depends on the situation /& its circumstances.

Oh I forgot. If this is in real life, yes in some countries it is legally considered drunk sex = rape so if it happens to you and it bothers you (involved in a bad situation), you can scream rape and call the authorities or something. All im saying is not all drunk sex is considered rape, its not like you havent heard of drunken mistakes before

I fully agree with you, people calling this rape aren’t really aware, that a drunk person may forget what they did and may regret it after, but in their minds they are still themselves and do things that they actually would do, ofc some cannot control the alcohol but the uke isn’t in an uncontrollable state, that’s how I see the scene… also people who call this rape… I dunno if it’s really rape, cuz he gave drunk consent and even before the uke got drunk, he wanted sex, so yeh… (=・ω・=)

This is actually quite a pickle. Did you even read my 1-2 sentence? So you mean to say a person can bait people by going to bars, get drunk and let someone take them out, have drunken fun with them and then when youre sober -scream bloody rape on them?
What part of drunken mistake you dont understand? If the victim doesnt think of it as rape cause he did remember that he was the one who came onto him, then thats their personal business. May I remind you rape is carried out forcibly or under threat, against a person's will. Which means unconsented/unwanted, which brings me back to my 3rd-4th point if you could calmly read it again. This will be my last reply my statements stands for themselves.

Oh I forgot. If this is in real life, yes in some countries it is legally considered drunk sex = rape so if it happens to you and it bothers you (ex. happened in bad circumstances), you can scream rape and call the authorities or something.
All im saying is not all drunk sex is considered rape, its not like you havent heard of drunken mistakes before.
Tho its sad to see a lot of ** people misunderstanding yet another great story's MC again *sigh*
I dont think communication is the key this time, unless she tells the duke about the past life which I dont see her doing now given her character.
Although what she can do & say is to put boundaries much earlier (before the sweet moments) and remind themselves of the marriage contract but since she's too overwhelmed by her new emotions & longing thoughts Its understandable it ended up this way
