The romance may be a little pushed in this story of magical demising adventure but at the same time, love of any and every type is inevitable. Perhaps it’s a little stretched but it’s a way to relieve the heaviness of the plot next to the comedy and the regular “lovers” quarrel between Vanitas and Noē.
The second prince does confuse me I will not lie but he’s dead set on saving his, I assume, lover, Lamia, and will go through any means possible even if it’s to break his own morals and ruin his reputation. If that’s how this story flows then his actions are, perhaps not completely, justifiable, but it makes sense as he’s made so many attempts to save Lamia that at this point, he knows what he needs to stop to and how to save her.
It takes a lot of energy and perseverance to read this bc they don’t reveal everything through words, it’s those mystery books where you have to piece it together or else you’ll get lost.
Right now we get to see, primarily, Lamia’s viewpoint and her knowledge along with Uri’s backstory and a little of Aquila’s past attempts to save Lamia.
I actually enjoy this story, it’s extremely puzzling and frustrating but at the same time it addicted to the storyline. And the art, I love their faces.
