...just squished, even if once by HER...

Why are they trying to make me feel bad about these two bozos…

Sir if you don’t carry your ass home to your family… stays embarrassing his wife and son with his dramatic self falling on his knees bawling over a girl.

Go home sir!!

I summon the league of thirsty a** b*tches …

PUT YOURSELVES IN HER POV...

I am perplexed by some comments.

seriously, WHY SHOULD SHE GIVE A RAT'S ASS ABOUT HIM??? In all honesty...

The fact that she could still stomach him was because of the plot and the Author's whims...

1) The General might be a demon to Heiner BUT he was her dad and they had a pretty good relationship.

2) Heiner organised the coup that saw him dead, I think they even killed her long-time maid cause she kinda disappeared.

3) Heiner told her to her face that he never liked her and just pretended to get to her dad

4) Heiner stood by the sidelines and watched as the WHOLE COUNTRY POINTED FINGERS at Annette as the cause of their woes in fact at a point he cherished it

5) Heiner emotionally abused her to miscarriage and double suicide attempt
she tried offing herself TWICE to get away from him.
Seeing him should seriously trigger her ...

.....BUT

she's the devil for not asking about the man who married her for his revenge.

Do you know what deceit/ ultimate betrayal does to someone's psyche???

Sincerely, it takes serious strength of heart for Annette to stand in the same room as her abuser/ex-husband/ the repentant perpetual victim,Sir Heiner

...I kept getting distracted by the big a** gown she was wearing... Like, why did the Author put her in that on the day of supposed war??

How can she run or do anything? with that big a** gown and a shawl on top...

I do not think she has the intelligence to be an Empress. I am not saying she's dumb but the cunning??? naah, they'll eat her alive.

She does not have the lineage hence she has to lean on the ML for every support. She's going to be so dependent and for someone who has lived her WHOLE LIFE in the war zone, it's going to affect her in the long run.

The duties of an Empress are not one to scoff at. If she delegates it too much, she's going to lose respect.

She's one-dimensional, pure even and that's great but for an Empress, I do not think so.

Now if she were the head of his Army, surely she would thrive

BUT

As seeing this is a romance manhwa, they'll probably end up together as that one awkward couple we know...

...Blonds as ML, does not appeal to me at all. Maybe by unconscious bias from the authors picking dark/brown hair as ML over time

BUT

The chokehold Zeref has on me NEEDS to be studied. My brain shuts down when he pops up, like Klaus from the Original series....

I do not need help, I have decided to make peace with it..

...LIKE, who is the redheaded yapper???

I thought he was from Franz, not Yappington...

Why are they bent on making Annette, a girl, a civilian feel guilty for her General dad.. In a country where Royals, especially Females DID NOT WORK, DID NOT POLITICS NOR PARTAKE IN ANY FORM OF GOVERNMENT. Apart from education, they did not do politics AT ALL/...

Annette fought for life to be partially taken seriously as a composer/pianist...

YET, everyone is trying to guilt trip her into what??? submission?? pity ?? Like Damn, let her breathe...

perkystar created a topic of Age of arrogance

...The most awkward couple goes to these two...

like damn, I am rooting for them but if they were in a TV series, we would all agree they have no chemistry and turn to the side couple for solace...

…. Thinking she will rush her marriage with Zed but she’s chatting, playing detective….

It’s all good though….

....to delicate flower that gets bruised from being touched by a hand fan...

Before y'all come for me, do you know how hard one has to be brushed with / hit with a hand fan to show a bruise???? I mean...

...For me and my mental health, Hear me out
...These Kurkan Men and that lady and her husband....

I want to be squished...

...She left Asharan when he just went off to war.. A war that his enemies in the empire wanted him to die in. It did not reflect well on her, it seemed that she abandoned him when she thought she was going to die...

Now coming to the butler, why should he accept her with open arms??? because he's a butler and made of stone???

PLUS, the fact that the first thing from her mouth to him is work and not an apology shows the level of reasoning she possessed....

ON THE OTHER HAND...

we've established that the FL is slow.. just a little bit so.....

I am over this story but stubbornly reading it to know how it ends. Do you get???

I want to know if Khalid troubles her so much that she / her fiance kills him or nah.

Cause if in the end, she kills him then her dad would have died for nothing cause we know in the long game Khalid is somewhat involved in the dad's death...

Plus, I want to see how far her delusions take her cause she believes she can live "quietly" side by side with her murderer... I am curious to see how ...

So just call me nosey Nelly...

….Him being the MAIN villain WAS NOT on my first week of January 2025 Bingo card… but I love it.

… no this is a more realistic reaction. It would have felt force if she came back and they openly accepted her. They might be servants, but they have feelings too, and she trampled on them by disappearing.

I feel the Butler feels most betrayed because he was on her side from the one but he has to keep his emotions on check for his master.

If she wants to be the master of the home, she can no longer just pass by every day .

she has to step up and call all the servants in the house and talk to them give them a summary of why she did what she did . She has to let them have a little understanding so they can actually respect her enough to serve her without prejudice..

I Love that fate said "bet" when she preached about forgiveness blah blah to avoid killing Khalid cause she has found love and friendship... lol...

we gon put that new found resolve to the test now....loloollloll...

...I will read a harem as well as the next person but I am still trying to find the sweet spot in the manhwa where ALL HER BROTHERS (EVEN HER DAD) suddenly decided that they have strong unwavering feelings for her... I just want to understand...

The only one that is actually feasible is her douche husband... at least, he is not suddenly head over heels, he might find her less grating but he is not simping hard like the rest..

Then I remembered Annette standing on business with Heiner and POOF!! My mood lifted. we love you, girl!!!

perkystar created a topic of My Beloved Oppressor

I wish Annette would scream in Heiner's face that she's not her father... I do not think she has made such remarks yet.

She just apologizes A LOT...

Baby girl needs to let that out of her chest
