So reading the comments, everyone is like incredibly muddled and disappointed about the fact that the Duke is the male lead- but like.. I spent the passed 20-ish or so chapters reading about how he felt weird and different. How the woman he thought poisoned his friend was suddenly this.. Goddess that he couldn't draw his eyes away from. Which yeah, I get it. In the beginning he erked me a little too. But the whole thing with the duke. Especially in this latest chapter, proves that he was never all that bad. I mean keep this in mind.
As of this chapter, we have never seen not once, him treat her harshly. He was indifferent at best, but keep in mind, that alone isn't a red flag. And well yes Eileen is without a bunched doubt- the villain. Having poisoned the duke just to save him, to appear as an angel sent by god- and keep in mind that during the event of the ball. she was slapped, and well yes she egged on Igna, and WE the audience know this. the duke knew not the context for the slap, or the relation behind it. No, He saw someone who had practically followed him around and as stated in the chapters above, stalked him practically- slap the lady who had saved his father. He had the right to be angry . furious even, but what do we see mister "red flag trash of a male lead" do?.
He simply grabs her hand. And when Eileen is poisoned? Yes well he thinks its Igna, and well that's a shitty thing to do without proof, as far as we had known. Before our current MC took over Igna's body. She was a menace to Eileen. So would it be to far fetched to believe, or at least suspect that the person who hated Eileen the most.. Was the person who poisoned her?.
So.. Let us look at what the Duke has really done so far.
1. Breaking into her room in the first chapter. To yell at her for in his eyes, being and having the highest likelihood of having Poisoned the person who saved his parents, seeing as the Igna he knew, hated Eileen.
2. Call her out at the bank for wearing abscene clothes unfit for the time or setting of the story, that would have been seen as indecent.
3. Increasing the date of due on the debts the previous Igna had refused to pay off, after might I add. BEING PHYSICALLY ASSAULTED, and insulted by a noble of lower rank? And the only thing you' ask of said Noble to push the due date back to what it was before, is a simple apology?
4. Being angry at said noble lady who trespasses on private property you now own. and stole from it. (well yes she had originally owned the property, she SOLD IT. AND EVERYTHING INSIDE. That includes the diary. So her then breaking into the property she no longer owns. Via the help of inside forces without the master of the houses knowledge, to take a belonging that you no longer have the right too. Even if it was her diary . when. She sold the house and EVERYTHING INSIDE. Its on her for not packing it, in the one week she had to move. If its left behind, too bad. He owns it now. So like it or not, that's stealing.)
So on all 4 accounts of the duke being this, unforgivable trash guy, its just a reasonable dude. I don't see the issues with the duke being the male lead. If anything, the female lead is the one who's been trashy. In the name of being a "free spirit" well yes, Igna is an independent and endearing female lead. She in these situations, when viewed and viewing them from a story perspective, is the walking red flag. So in the situation of the ship as is? Its fine.
5/5 stars. Ships great, I think people are over reacting abit, and I love the story and art. Can't wait to see more! ^^
