I hope he gives her a wonderful experience with sex.
Lmao I doubt they'll give any of that she'll just run off
Looool. I mean.... Chloe has naughty thoughts sometimes. So, who knows. (▰˘◡˘▰)
I think people keep forgetting the fact that Chloe sees the good in everyone, including the ML. She doesn’t hate him, but she is [still] cautious and scared when she’s around him. Yet, she still sees some good traits in him. It’s obvious that the Duke doesn’t know why Chloe is afraid of him, but he doesn’t remember that she was Beatrice. For her being a slave, I was taken aback at how he has never mistreated her. Obviously, he threatened to kill her again, but that was because his favorite horse from childhood was going to get executed after accidentally hurting his acquaintance. He’s not perfect by any means, but some of y’all seem him as the devil’s incarnation or something. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
*sees
Agree, and people have to remember that at this time slave were considered less important that animals so it's like a miracle that the Duke don't mistreat her
Exactly. If anyone has ever read and watch historical Chinese/Japanese/Korean webcomics and dramas, they would know that Chloe is the luckiest slave (that sounds so bad, lol). So many royals mistreat their slaves like crap. If they didn’t treat them like crap, they just saw them nothing more as a slave/servant. It’s rare to see another important character(other than the MC) actually look at a slave as a human being and recognize their person. The Duke has a long way to go, but he’s making progress.
I think that this is one of the “ML who has had a bad past and treats/treated the FL like shit” trope done right. Chloe acknowledges that he has good points about him, but she also acknowledges what he did to her in the past. She doesn’t even fall in love with him or develops feelings for him as soon as he treats her right. Judging by the pace of their relationship, it seems like that it’ll take a lot more of the Duke to change if he wants Chloe to be with him. Obviously, the dukes previous actions are considered to be very horrible in today’s times. But, it’s like what @sara said about how royals treated each other back then. Overall, I’m really enjoying this webcomic. ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
Honestly, what’s with people getting upset with Chloe for saying that he’s a good man?? I get what he did in the beginning was not okay and all, but It seems like she’s the type of person who tries to see the good in everyone and doesn’t hold grudges against people. For her to forgive someone by seeing the good in them, is a strong character to me. Plus, she suffered far worse from her family and her ex-husband, so it’s not a surprise to me that she said that he was a good man ( it’s a bit sad imo). ╮(￣▽￣)╭
But honestly that’s her true beauty and strength! It’s her kindness and willingness to see through the naked eye. Also it’s the olden days too, killing was norm
Exactly! She hasn’t justified what he did to her nor has tried to excuse his behavior. She was afraid of him to the point she avoided him as much as she could. She didn’t know why he attacked her and her servants in the first place (this was due to her ex-husbands behavior, so of course she’ll get scared by him due to first impressions. She has been with him for a while and he hasn’t once yelled at her, beaten her nor threatened to kill or raper her (unlike that redhead guy and her ex-husband) when she made mistakes or did something he didn’t like. I mean if I were in her shoes, I would start to see some good traits in him eventually.
Honestly i agree with you on this. I just thought i was one of the few you thought this way.
Same. I felt this way since I found this webcomic months ago. Earlier, a lot of people kept saying the author is trying to justify the ML’s actions blah blah but I never felt like this was the case. I mean, he’s a Duke and his actions, for the most part, make sense given the circumstances. I don’t agree with it but it gave a more realistic vibe of how royalty works. And given chloe’s personality and circumstances, it made sense for her to see him as a good man.
Yes! I agree once again! Plus like you said he is a duke. If you take into consideration the era then he is a lot nicer than what he could be to everyone under him. If I were her I wouldn't really hate him. Her family only looked for her when they needed someone to marry that nasty pervert and just treated her as a chess piece and her good for nothing ex-husband was a really big piece of work. I think this webcomic is great and not only is everything full color but its wonderfully drawn. I am really enjoying it!
Sameeeeee! I Liked how it’s different from a lot of historical webcomics. For starters, I like how the author is using a controversial topic such as slavery in their work. I found it very interesting for Chloe to want to be a slave again and seeing the joy in slavery. Of course, she’s the exception and slavery is still horrible. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍ But, it’s nice to see how a cheerful person like Chloe can LITERALLY see the joy in any shitty situation. I ain’t gonna lie but I would do the same thing. If I was a slave, I would be fine with it as long as I won’t get beaten, rape or abused whatsoever. I had an argument about another reader about the ML and I got bored arguing with them. I tried to explain to them that the Duke, who lives in a very patriarchal and rigid social hierarchy, is not going to treat everyone with respect. I tried to explain to them his behavior makes more sense given his circumstances. And, he’s not that bad. Sure, he still hates women and all but I’m surprised he never killed any woman besides her sister(?) and is treating Chloe pretty well. He ain’t perfect, but he’s getting better. (￣∇￣")
I won’t excuse what Ruve did to Tia in the first timeline, but I am not going to sit here and talk shit about the ml if he isn’t doing anything to her now. Honestly, I wouldn’t have any issues with their outrage if Ruve continued to hurt Tia. The fact that people can’t see how the characters are different than the first timeline makes me think that a bunch of y’all were expecting a stereotypical nice, and fluffy shoujo prince of a ML. Also, the fact that I’ve seen more comments defending green haired boy than the ml really shows the selective outrage. Looool. He could imprisoned her and keep her away from her family for days, and some of y’all will still say “BuT hE lOvEs HeR!” Smfh.....Keep the same energy towards green haired boy if you’re going to keep shitting on blue haired boy. We’re over 100 chapters and y’all hatred towards the ML is getting so annoying. If we were still on chapter 5, then your hatred would have been justified. Drop the story if you hate him so much. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Louder for the people in the back
