She is a 'dignified' and sensible character but she is weak when it comes to her loved ones. Her father, sister, and Damien. People are tired of the Cold Duke trope, but to understand Damien and Chloe's characters is to understand the time period this story is written in. To understand a cold Duke is to understand powerful men marry for not for love, but for the benefits of such an alliance. Damien gained nothing by marrying Chloe. Her family was neither wealthy nor powerful. She may have been the pawn to some of his schemes, but ultimately a marriage to her held no great benefits. To understand a cold Duke is to know the importance children are in marriages amongst nobles. Yet Damien chose to save Chloe over his unborn child. That was a defining moment which gave readers a glimpse of his true feelings for her. To understand a cold Duke is to understand with one wife seemingly dead, he could now find a wife more 'fitting' for his current level of now being an 'Emperor?' Damien went into an enemy country to get Chloe back. Chloe may not like Damien, but she also never stopped loving him. She just redirected those feelings. Is Damien an a-hole? Well of course he is. No doubt about that. Does he truly love Chloe? Yep, but his cold upbringing did not prepare him to actually fall in love nor how to treat that person. He can learn though (Which is the true purpose of these types of stories) Had Chloe received the emotional support she needed at the loss of her child (even if that support wasn't necessarily from Damien), this story would have went in a totally different direction, but then people still would have found a reason to be upset.
...I came here to see if people had the same idea of Jessica as I did and was not disappointed. Because how are Camilla and Jessica literally the split image of one another if dear ole daddy wasn't still out there planting his seed everywhere. I do understand amongst the rich and nobel class, arranged marriages are common and rarely their choice. Rarely (not always, but rarely) in history will you hear of a true love match when it comes to arranged marriages. I don't feel that women necessarily fell in love with their partner, but resolved themselves to their circumstances and tried to find as much happiness allowed OR they simply became bitter. The later would perfectly describe the wife of Camilla's father.
Us very much censored. I actually started reading there, but you can tell there are 'elements' missing from the story so I found it here. Definitely censored on Manta
Actually there are 2 versions on manta, the censored one and the "full version" where it's uncensored you just have to search the name
Is there a way to put a stop to the bad transactions from being uploaded now that this heavenly sent person is uploading official translations? At this point, I'm willing to just wait and reread so I can finally understand this story
...translations make me wanna barf. I was reading on Webtoons but wanted to read ahead. I literally stopped reading and forgot about this webtoon because of the translations here turned me completely off and I was too impatient to wait for Webtoons. There should be some way to put a placeholder or something so these trash sites and their trash-lations aren't automatically updated here.
I understand why people are frustrated and/or mad. Granted that she is now in her sunken place due to past traumas and current betrayal that are constantly triggering her. Yet, Pen is literally being handed a helping hand to help get out of her situation (which many people don't get) and instead she's harshly slapping it away. What other choice does she really have now? Switching over to her father and brothers is impossible at this point. There is a good lesson to be learned here. To not put all of your eggs into one basket. Which is exactly what she did. Now that this happened, she has a choice to either sink or swim. Instead, she has lost all hope and is actively choosing to sink and wallow in her despair. I'm sure readers want her to keep fighting her way back to the top, especially because there is a hand reaching out towards her. You can empathize with one's situation while not being an enabler to their behavior. Personally I'm frustrated because of the way she is acting towards Callisto. She's trauma dumping on him when all he's trying to do is offer a helping hand. That's another lesson folks. Stop trauma dumping on innocent people.
"Trauma dumping on him when all his trying to do is offer a helping hand"
GurlHis helping hand aint enough for fl to get out of that shitty game.
Am 100%With fl. She's not leading
Opps Mistakely cut of myself
She's not leading on the ml ,Fl has made her intention very clear.She has stated that she needs someone who loves her and that isn't the ml because ml has also been clear that emotion like love are useless for someone of their position.
Both have different goals so its best to go thier own ways rn.
Yeah but... she's literally back at zero with what options she has and she refuses to look at his favorability score for whatever reason. Callisto may say and act one way, but he has natural a-hole energy. A-holes don't seek out people just because yet time and time again...he just keeps popping up. At this point, something is better than nothing. And yes, she is trauma dumping on him. She's simultaneously thinking about the game and how she was treated in her old world, which is causing her to lash out. A simple no thanks... I'm not interested would've sufficed
Oh, and ummm never said nor thought that she was leading him on. The main point of my mini thesis :-P was to express what I feel alot of readers are frustrated about. This post isn't about being on team Penelope vs team Callisto
Not trying to sound rude but I can comprehend "fl trauma dumped ml"
Could you explain more?
Cannot*
Nor is my comment about being team Penelope vs team casllisto.
I have also made it clear in my prev comment about ml being clear about his intention.
Both want different things so its best that they go separate ways. That's all I am saying
The thing that made me reply to your post was about the line "Fl trauma dumped ml"
....and now back to square one this story is taking us, I would not be surprised at all to find out that Celphi's real mom tried to kill him when he was an infant. She definitely gives off a bitter woman vibes.
At least give the young lady a chance to get acclimated with a p*nis first before smacking it up and flipping it like a pancake.
Agreed… lol
Omg....hahahaha...so true
Isn't of hating a character because they aren't doing what I may think is right, I try to understand the complexities of the so called bad guy. Alexandros came into power through war and carnage and he has had to remain hardcore throughout his reign. OG Robellia is a green flag, but in the wrong type of story. In a different story, I would pair the OG Robellia with Norman. In this type of story, the new Robellia is the perfect match with the Emperor and the type of bad ass queen needed for this monarchy. One must remember that the marriage between OG Robellia and Alexandros was an arranged political marriage which was a norm at the time. Arranged marriages were rarely love matches. Many just gave in to their circumstances and found ways to endure. Alexandros may be seen as a cheater in some eyes, we don't even know if he actually ever had sex with Aisha. She seems as just another pawn who is there to help his reign be more legitimate. The new Robellia got sucked into the story and I don't blame her for wanting to get the heck outta there, but I also don't blame her for feeling tingles for Alexandros. SHE IS NOT THE OG ROBELLIA, but her own person who is experiencing 2nd hand emotions. I won't be upset at all when these two get together.
Agreed. The comments were so negative that i didn’t want to start. Turns out they don’t understand shit.
I don't hate Alexandros for necessarily using the original Robellia because obviously that was all he was taught. But Robellia says in the story keeping someone against their will isn't love but an obsession and she's totally right. He's still selfish and not understanding of her feelings, no let me change that, he understands how much she wants to divorce for her own freedom but still is keeping her on a leash for still his own benefit and feelings. The only thing has changed about Alexandros is the fact that he realizes his selfishness and feels guilt but he hasn't changed his stubbornness about hearing her out. Anywho that's my opinion on the take. I do agree what you said about the time period tho.
I feel as though I could have worded this wayyy better but I don't think I can edit the comment
I understand but the people have valid reasons to hate him. Even if he was taught that doesn’t justify what he did which I’m sure many people are thinking about ya know?
I feel like I have been reading this 'love story' forever and now that things are finally coming to a peak I just saw that... there is a 2nd novel?!?! If that novel gets adapted also, I guess I might be committing another 3 years to that story. I don't know any details about the 2nd novel, but can the 2nd book really surpass having a ML like Jay and is it titled 'Pay It Forward'?
pay it forward wtff lmao
LMAO PAY IT FORWARD CRACKED ME UP
