I really dislike lier like him. And WTF. Who are you to monitor your sister. Even if it's only until you're 20 yo, she's the head. I was already mad by the behavior of the shadows who didn't present themselves to the head.
She saved your fucking light ass man, from her mother and uncle. He noticed the change in ran and still act like that.
And I read the spoiler and frankly the only man I like in this story is the 2nd prince.
I don't want any love story between them, If he isn't even able to trust her, then how dare him want to get that close to her. Is she your puppet?

I don't find it bad. Because she still have people on her side like the butler, the head maid. She's got support. So it's only right that he gets his own support too. After all, we are reading it to see two powerful people getting in a relationship and making the name of the family bigger. If one of them didn't have their own support, there would be no point in continuing this story.

I find the balance unfair. He has the power to se each of her move. The only things we saw of him was violence and lack of trust to her sister. And they ARE brother and sister, Idk why they think no , they don't share blood but share the same name.
She is literally saving his territory by paying debt and establishing commerce

Do you really think the power is unbalanced? I mean, all the commercial partners are on side with FL. All the things she did for the house are her merits, not his. So all those people who helped and worked with her are siding with her. She is a big opponent and has important support. Elves and dwarves are siding with her. Same with the ducal army (not the shadow one), the maid service and the keeper of the house which is the butler.
I don't think that the power is unbalanced. In many ways, I can see that his power is actually weaker than Ran's. So if it were unbalanced, Ran would be the stronger there.
Both of them have a field in which they are necessary to the house. Ran manage business and is a queen at that. Without her, the duchy would still be in debt while they are now filthy rich. The whole financial situation is kept by her so if she was disregarded, the whole house could lose its feet.
Yustav manage the army and help within the shadow (becaus he cannot be in the spotlight right now). It's his job. Ran couldn't manage everything so it's only a given that the army should be given to Yustav, since it was his major study in academy.

Anyway, all of that to say that their power is well balanced. Both are needed to keep to duchy from falling. They are the two pillars. If one was killed, the other will be in a disastrous situation to rebuild the whole machine.
And the people who support each of them are important because they can distinguish them as equal.

I'm sorry but the last chapters showed how immature he was. She was bought to have sex with a freaking beast to put it blantly. I still like him but he should not be greddy for her affection.
Implying that she hold feeling for a friend. Who are you ? You know her for 2 weeks and you show possessiveness......

I found so weird why Daniel was so focused on this mansion.
Okay it's full of expensive paintings and all..but we know he has some kinds of feeling for the mother. It's obvious he looks at her romantically.
So maybe, taking into account what was said here, maybe he is trying to get the Lady ruined, with not enough to take care of her daughters and money from painting, to force her into wed him ?
She would have no others choice but to wed the only man who hold her mansion and have enough to support them all.

Although I love this story I would like to speak about the age gap and the fact that Riku is still underage Σ(ಠ_ಠ)
I was wondering the same... but I believe the age of consent is 14 or 16 in Japan??? So I guess it’s ok over there.
Yes it's 14yrs old and they can get married at 16
16? wHAT?? I NEVER KNEW ABOUT THIS :0
