Gio is kinda stupid isn't he? A bloodless revolution is not worth it? So mc can't sacrifice herself cuz he loves her? But everyone else dying is freedom? So mc can't put herself in danger and just use her power to kill ppl? Is he stupid or what?
A humiliation he can't beat over a possible less bloody path? Even if he didn't trust the impirials he could leave mc to do what she wants and he does what he wants when she fails but like the plot device he is he has to spout nonsense and endanger mc by plotting treason... like ffs u knew u didn't have the capability for a revolution so you were laying low and now u want a suicidal operations.
Go drink ur milk Gio and let mc handle her stuff like the big girl she is
They never address that the duke is low-key a misogynistic prick.
Like for real, he didn't like her business dealings so he lies and says he won't deal with a woman, then saying that it was a "misunderstanding" bruh, you said what you said even if you didn't mean it.
then he wastes her time when she was cross dressed saying he was enjoying it while never having in mind adding her to the investors list?? but backs down cuz of what??? He felt guilty?
And I don't forget he's thinking the phrase "better at business than most men" is a complement, bruh she doesn't need the validation of men to be a great boss lady
The audacity of him to dance with her sister when he doesn't want to get married making weird rumours that paints mc in a light that stole her sister's prospect fiance, and continues to flirty with mc when he has no goals of marriage because she is "entertaining" fk u (╬ ̄皿 ̄)凸
Women in romance rly have low standards with all the misogynistic assholes makes ML an angel when he's just the better evil
