It's okay guys she's got the necklace
THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME AND RIDING MY HEART OF UNNECESSARY UNEASINES, BLESS YOU
Wait I forgot, what necklace? And what does it do again?
I just checked and it seemed like the necklace was for poison ("universal antidote")? how would that help with being harmed from a spirit's attack?
SPOILERS though everyone's already kind of spoiling things so if you're reading the comments right now you're already kind of in trouble.
Charm, when the prince prevented the epidemic that Bertia told him would kill her mother, he also gave her the necklace she is wearing full of a 'universal antidote'.
but why, I thought of that, but being hit doesn't mean the result is necessarily magical. Not sure on that. It just doesn't make sense to present such a useful item that Bertia has been wearing right along and not have it used by the end of the story, and if she was the sick one using it on herself then it wouldn't be as special as using it on the very prince who gave it to her. I guess I'm speaking more as a writer than a reader with that kind of logic, though.
She literally has anxiety. I also have anxiety. We aren't weak-willed on purpose. What she's doing right now is technically what my therapist makes me do: go out and finally try. And she's determined to try despite being unlogically scared.
I don't think I'm particularly dumb or weak-willed. You can't bully me into your way of thinking; even if I cry, my convictions are the same. I just have panic attacks if you talk to me in too harsh a tone because my peanut brain be like 'ahhhhhhh' against my will; my logic side is still going 'wow this person is a douche' and 'I came here to do something and I will do it even if I cry'.
Today I learned. That's awesome that it's portraying it correctly so far.
I like guys with long hair, and yet it's a story where the main character is gonna be with the only short-haired one. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
That said! She's one heck of a main character and I love her attitude. My search for compelling stories with long-haired MLs will continue, but in the meantime I'll definitely be enjoying this!
I don’t think she’s gonna end up with Rudolph
Suggest me some long- haired ML's too!! ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
If you want to turn the world bi and lesbian, remember to be nice to people! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Pretty sure the girl is naive, not trying to save face. She just wants to help but comes off as arrogant. ("THE ICE WATER IS TOO ICY TAKE IT AWAY WINK WINK" and she seems to think the maid needed the money desperately, and probably didn't realize she'd get punished or that the head maid would take the earrings.) Plus, she was announced as a foster, not a daughter, so I suspect she wasn't necessarily raised a noble and doesn't feel like one. (I predict that "A noble is a noble and a commoner is a commoner" probably applied to herself in that moment.)
Yeay agree.. but to suddenly giving your earings in front of others screams hypocrite to me.. but maybe she was just missed her timing to give it to her or suddenly remembered
I’m not so sure about her only being naive. Of course the MC grew up very privileged and with the understanding that the distance of social class needs to be upheld. She’s kind in a very shallow manner but I have to say, it actually fits the time period and her circumstances. She’s a young society Miss that is self absorbed and callous to a certain extent. Reputation is everything so of course she would keep quiet about the maid actually stealing the necklace. She’s not really interested in the maids circumstances as to why she would risk her life to steal a necklace, MC only thinks she’s kind enough to not throw her out on the streets or worse make everyone aware that the maid is a thief, which is punishable by death ( I assume this is Victorian England). So she feels she is kind but it has more to do with preserving her own reputation and to impress the ML. She doesn’t care either for her Maid being in obvious pain. And tbh, why should she? The maid made a spectacle out of herself that could have meant her death and the MC’s social disgrace. She gives the maid earrings after her conversation with her in front of witnesses. That was to impress the ML. Because if it was truly out of kindness she would have given the earrings to her maid during their private conversation about the theft. So it’s calculated. I don’t really fault the MC because of her upbringing and the timeline she’s living in. She only knows the social intricacies of her own social class and is ignorant of what commoners have to deal with. The ML disdains her with good reason. But he himself is a very suspicious individual who certainly has nothing good planned for the MC.
That make sense too
that is very well said !! my small brain now understands her character a bit more :o
