she just loves swordmanships to death i can even feel it overshadow my own passion haha also, the art is getting so much better i feel like?
Yup i also noticed the art is getting better, and the fl is sooo dope
no one is responsible to take care of anyone, especially if that person has done nothing but harm you for all the time theyve known you. valrose isnt a savior, she doesnt have to 'fix' or stand by nocton if she doesnt want to or if she feels like she wont be happy with that. shes entitled to heal too!!
my brain just reads his name as calvin klein like the underwear brand
Your not the only one man
edgar has the communication proficiency of a child, duroa is scared shitless of dying and became impulsive, aaron couldnt own up to his own feelings and past, and alice's back must have hurt from carrying all the braincells the four of them shares
this is a 100% accurate description of every single one of them,, u got it completely right... wow
i feel really bad for alice she is the most clueless, yet she has the most secrets, and she does most of the thinkings. its like seeing a group of silly friends and alice is the mom friend HAHA
the empress doesnt have ill will against shuri, she was simply making this spectacle to see how she deals with political affair. think about her trying to proof her worth in the council earlier, or when she organized the memorial party, this trial is like that but the only one shuri needs to impress this time is the empress without shuri even realising shes playing a game. yes, the empress is wicked and cunning, but is she evil exclusively in relation to shuri and jeremy? no i think not. she might have had her pride hurt when the emperor chose theo's mother as his first wife, and she might have a vendetta against her, but as we all know, shes dead, and the empress is bored, along came shuri.
i actually quite like the empress as she has shown to be very level headed and looks like a good politician but also has a mundane side.
as for theo, like shuri, hes practically a child. both theo and shuri shouldnt have been put in the positions theyre in now (crown prince and interim house head). the fact that he has a deep seated mommy issues is not his fault. hes manipulative and most probably sociopathic, but the adults around him are gullible and faults lies with them not him.
yes! couldn't have explained it better. when reading the story from a more logical level headed point of view you may see characters that you dont like, but like you said there seems to be no true villain and thats whats so intriguing about this story
BUT SHE WENT OVERBOARD WITH THIS, STUPID AND DISGUSTING PLAN. ALSO THERE IS A VILLIAN IN THIS STORY, THIS IS STILL THE BEGINNING, THE CHURCH IS SO SUS ESP THAT CARDINAL AND THE PALACE IS AFRAID THAT THERES ANOTHER FORCE MORE POWERFUL THAN THEM.
just think about the scar that this trial will leave to the children of Johan
i agree that empress' little game is brutal but i think in her own way, she respected johan and may even have had some sort of friendship or allyship in the past with him, given that the emperor and her brother was best friends with him. i tried to interpret her putting shuri in a tight place as a way to ensure that johans children is in the right hand and that the family may survive until after jeremy takes over. i can always be wrong though, as for now the empress doesnt seem to have any serious motivation other than boredom and politics to possess a personal threat to shuri, but she may have that reason in the future.
for the church, IMO, theyre not black and white as in theyre going to be bad. at least cardinal richelieu shows to be a very grey character, i cant say the same about the church
assertive and her judgement sound and she knows when to concede her dignity to do something and when to uphold it. besides, ares still hasnt redeemed his overcontrolling tendency we saw spilling over when alicia and lancelot reunited. im just happy alicia is unfazed
shes a good royal, in terms of caring only about her blood and herself and brushes things aside as "not my expertise therefore im not going to do it" i mean all royals are like that. i was waitin for her to take into consideration that if she dies and caitel dies, the empire will be left heirless and everything that is caitels legacy will be lost, her family will be killed as punishment by theoren when he assumed successor right or straight out invade agrigent and so on. the fact that her mind was set on one thing only makes her a very good royal and a tactless person its almost poetic
ive postponed reading this for over a year and im happy that i get to binge read like this lmao this is so many things all at once
