Nawwww, I think YOU’RE tarnishing the empire’s honour, Sovieshu, by being seduced—actually seduced—by a slave who doesn’t even have any redeeming qualities besides her pretty face. You accuse your wife of being seduced when she’s merely having a friendly conversation with an ally, while YOU are actually being seduced by a piece of trash and yet you don’t allow your wife, whom you barely pay any attention to, to talk to other men. Just saying, your wife talking with a man of equally high standing paints a much better image of the empire than you being wooed silly by a peasant girl with a pea-sized brain. Honestly, this empire is going to be done for when he and Trashta start ruling it alone.
I understand why she’s so conflicted. It’s like, should she listen to her heart or her head? Should she do what she knows is rational—leave him—to prevent him from getting hurt, or should she let her emotions lead her and allow herself to be embraced by his love? Let’s not forget that she’s a teenager (I think?) and that she’s not perfect, like so many other protagonists seem to be. She’s a bit demure and indecisive, but that’s okay because not every protagonist has to be confident or flawless and not every protagonist is able to ace every obstacle they face when they’re suddenly thrown into a novel. Just like Aseph is truly a villain, the depiction of Zay is unapologetically realistic, in my opinion.
Isn't the black haired dude the prince? Why doesn't Aria know him from her previous life?
because even in her previous life she had'nt seen him cause like he does'nt come to all the banquets and stuff being organized. she says it herself though...

In the previous life the prince has no power against the aristocrat party and he's very much like a puppet and under his fiancee's control. He couldnt do anything because he was frequently framed and the enemy keep on trying to destroy his name. Which makes him unable to hold his head high in front of his people. Since meeting aria he got a lot of help since aria is indeed knowledgeable and that helped the prince to evade some of the stuff that supposed to destroy the prince.
Is this a romance? It’s not listed as one of the genres so I’m just curious
There is romance, but mostly at the very end of the story and a little in between. The great part is business, politic, nobility plotting and finally (spoiler alert)
war.
It's a slow burn romance
Yo is this man stupid? When is he going to realise, that dummy (￣∇￣")
Can everyone please put a spoiler warning before they say something lol, Im scared to read the comments with so many mentions of the novel floating around (yes I'm the kind of person who minds every little spoiler, because I want to savour the story myself)
Yes, bring the fat old geezer to ruin! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
