OK now that all this wonderful emotional stuff has been addressed, I'm ready to see some ass kicking!!
I really like how Ash is treating Chloe. In a lot of these stories the ML thinks that giving gifts and pushing affection onto the FL will magically make all the hurt and trauma from their abusive past go away. But here Ash isn't pushing anything onto Chloe, and instead is letting her make all the decisions. He gives her back her freedom to choose, from big decisions like how she wants to live her life going forward all the way down to whether she will allow him to brush her hair out of her face. He respects her boundaries(LIKE A REAL MAN SHOULD), and leaves it up to her to decide if she's ready to meet other people or go out. He makes a suggestion, and she chooses whether she wants to do it or not. And yeah, I know he technically bought her and its super fucked up that its apparently a legal and common thing to SELL YOUR FUCKING WIFE, but he's giving her all the space and care she needs without being overbearing and pushy. I really, REALLY hope that the story keeps up this good behavior
Preach! As someone with PTSD and someone studies psych, I just kept thinking "oh my god, he's doing the thing, he's doing the thing you're supposed to do!" He's giving her limited options to keep her from getting overwhelmed by suddenly deciding everything herself, he's being really clear that it is her choice, and he's asking about and respecting her boundaries. Holy fuck. I never see this. I love him.
With the authority granted to me by literally no one, I hearby nominate Ash as best ML of 2021!
He's got my vote
same! is very nice the way the author decide to make it this way, is more realistic
It pisses me off to see the knights treat Maxi like trash just because of who her father is. Even if they don't know that he abused and mistreated her, she's a woman and has no saying what her father does. In time periods like this, daughters are seen as tools for political marriges. They aren't allowed to go against their fathers and have almost no control over their own lives. So for these dickheads to be all bitter and bitchy just because they don't like her father is so childish
I suspect they think Maxi is the typical spoilt rich girl. Not knowing that she was abused..and i think she has a sister who is showered with love and affection instead of her
Honestly I'm looking forward to everyone finding out the truth

Her sister is not showered with love and affection from their father actually it's far from that. She's just a tool for him.
That makes this even worse. The father is a total scumbag
Ah shucks...throw the old dirt bag away
A bunch of people are on here trying to say we shouldn't hate on Jeanette because she's still a child and she's being used blah blah blah. None of that makes me hate her, its the fact that her head is full air and she has the personality of a wet paper bag that makes me hate her lol. Face it, girl is stupid. Her adoptive brother whatshisface is only a couple years older than her and even he knows that something is up, so you can't use her age as an excuse for her stupidity. And just because she learned that evil dude is actually her father and not Claude, she's totally on his side now. She's a background character that got way more screentime than she deserved
finally someone said it!!!
finally someone gets it(⌒▽⌒)
YES
OK like seriously how can Jeanette be so fucking empty headed?! What makes her think her presence would be welcome at all in the palace? Even if she and Athy were sisters, because jeanette is older she would technically be next in line for the throne, therefore causing a fight for succession among the nobility as to who would be better suited as the next ruler, the younger princess raised and taught in thr palace vs the older one that suddenly showed up. Now that its revealed that she's the previous emperor's child, the emperor who was said to be a horrible tyrant mind you, its almost a certainty that her presence is going to drive a deep rift between those that support the previous emperor and Claude's supporters. Its basic politics in any monarchy. And yet this moron can't even figure out that little bit of logic and is instead all "Why doesn't Athy liiiiiiike me, waaaaaaaa" Shit pisses me off, gtfo outta here dumbass
Ugh!, now that you think about it, it actually makes sense and that just makes me even more angrier
I'm loving this, but imma be honest: It would have been better as shounen ai. Like, seriously, the prince is bi as fuck and letio simps for selena so hard he'd totally go gay for her
I'm really liking this, but I guess I don't understand how killing and framing one noblewomen for starting a forest fire was supposed to put a stopper on the war. Clearly there are issues that run much deeper than just that one incident, but Margaret had literally zero power or sway in anything. She said herself that she was considered to be a useless heir by society. Even if she was her house's only heir, her parents are both still around and presumably young enough to have another child, so getting rid of Margaret shouldn't have been enough to knock her family out of power. Also, is this supposed to be one country with 2 regions, or two separate countries? Is there not a king or some other governing body that could do something about this civil war?
I guess they killed her to appease the public. Because many believe that the northerners are at fault that the war happened, they just wanted the parents to feel how it is to loose their child like the common people who lost their children or family. It stopped the war temporarily, or rather, it’s a temporary truce. The thing with the governing body/king not being present is confusing, maybe it will be revealed at a later point? ╮(￣▽￣)╭
That Selena girl did say something about "The King" that didn't give her much order.So they do have a governor body present But that doesn't clear the confusion whether North and South is the same country or not.
