To be honest I wouldn't want to be a noble either. I mean it's luxurious but I feel like her life right now is more relaxing and fun than fighting verbally, strict posture and gestures etc etc (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
That's where several factors come into play (e.g. charisma, speech, manners)
Having more power naturally sends more enemies and other troublesome things into one's path. However, not having any power is the equivalent of not having any freedom to choose how one is going to live one's life. One can only influence things by having power.
Your definition of 'power' is too vague, mate. Of course those who have "power" in general are free to choose how they live their lives.
The power I was referring to was political power, the type of power nobles seem to have in a fantasy setting like this. Commoners have freedom and they don't have the 'power' I was referring to. They can get the job that they want (like our mc who's now working at a bakery), they can marry who they want (no need for arranged marriages to strengthen your family ties), they don't have to worry about political mind games, ettiquette, the nobility's judging eyes whenever there's a fancy ass ball.
Now, obviously, this ridiculously cliche noble vs commoner bullshit is probably exaggerated in a narrative setting but the point is: commoners have more 'freedom', at least, in this story. That's why our mc is happy to step down from her title.
I'm really starting to dislike her. I get not taking this seriously at first but now that she knows it's real all she thinks about is perverted stuff like are you kidding me??? (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ and usually villains are backstabbing and manipulative people and the third prince doesn't seem like that at all, atleast to me after reading up to the latest chapter. He's prideful and cocky but that's to be expected because of his upbringing. I'm contemplating reading the novel (if there is one) just for the third prince. xD
What's wrong with fantasizing a little though? He is an attractive man...and they are alone with each other...at night...in close proximity... I wouldn't be above having some dirty thoughts either XD
Exactly my thoughts. Its natural for the mind to start wandering in such situations, with such a hottie sitting infront of you. Unless you swing the other way (no offense) or you are a block of ice, there's no way you won't feel SOMETHING
