I think the novel which they read was written by Fake saint, she manipulated the story that the duke (and prince) loved her enough to revolt against empire and intentionally recommended it to fl and ml, so that they would think that ml/duke was destined to love fake saint.
Maybe that's why there was no mention of other Espars and guides, because fake saint never completed her quests.
I'm still confused with the time line, when he went in the future and crossed dimensions he met fl, but now they both returned to past and fl is in this world, so does that mean she is not in korea now? or maybe in previous time line she died in stern empire and lived in korea, and in this timeline she lived in stern empire and died in korea.
I think the condition was that each time fake saint crosses dimensions, monsters from that world appear in this world.
though I like mls with long hairs, this time I'm with Enoch xD
I love the story and art, whoever drew this I want to kiss their hands.
I love the idea of two parts of souls, though I don't like her behaviour towards disciples.
If he likes Raymond so much, he should just het married to him
so they confirmed that Chrollo is one of the Tower master
