The way she's thinking is so annoying like she's right but Luca is also right and I like his way of thinking a lot more than hers like just accept the gifts stop whining about it
How is she annoying? She's not his 'aunt', she's a modern girl possessing a body in a novel. Not everyone wants to live a complicated but luxurious life. She's not whining, she just doesn't want that much jewelry （/TДT)/
It is whining. it's a gift, and she's got to realize she's in a novel, playing a greedy character. And she's living in a palace where people know nothing about modesty ntm I don't like overly modest characters anyway just accept the gift and get over it I get it's a lot but complaining THAT MUCH? is annoying it's just a gift if he didn't care about how much it cost she shouldn't either it's his money that he's willingly spending on her and his nephew and if she dislikes it that much she could have been more aggressive when telling him no and not "..no don't" type shit
Maybe she think that if she's overly aggressive when she rejected the offer, the other party would become like a drenched puppy.
And I disagree though that modern people would be overly modest. Well, there were severals, but most were not. They were not greedy, but hella… everything need money to work out. So, yeah, if modern girl like her got sent to isekai (somewhere in novel or other place), she should just play a moderate greed and instead use her brain more to judge others' characteristics.
You know, modern people got more in to reading characters. Plus, it's kind of weird if you are just OK when got swapped by those kind of wealth. I think it was kind of normal for MC (an average woman which never felt riches) to feel insecure or have an overwhelming modesty (remind her that the original Eudith died because of her greed)
she’s just not gonna change back into the greedy character she once was before possessing her??? she made herself to be a humble person for that month she was there. Even so she is from a modern era where receiving this kinds of things is luxurious so of course she’s going to deny all the things the duke tries to give her, in my opinion I would also be pressured with all the gifts that i wouldn’t be used to. :/
She's not whining. She's just staying true to how she's been acting in the past month after possessing "Eudith"; she wants to survive by avoiding the death flag caused by the original character's greed. She knows she's in a novel too, and she's trying to do right by her "nephew" in the meantime. And please, receiving that much "gifts" can feel burdensome as well. As I said, she's a modern girl; and she's not exactly living in a place that knows nothing of modesty. She's a commoner, even if she's playing a greedy character, it doesn't mean that the MC can completely assimilate herself into living like a noble that spends unimaginable amounts of money. Also, did you somehow forget that she's not the original character? It's not mandatory for the MC to be greedy (〜￣△￣)〜
Why are you guys bringing up the original character?? I said she's got to realize she's become a greedy character so you don't think no one's going to find it weird that she's suddenly super modest?? If anything it would feel fake to me if I knew who she was before hand it would look like she only started acting super modest when she found out that her nephew was also the Duke's nephew it would look like she's putting on a show
Ntm side note guys it was a lot more than greed that got her killed in the original novel but whatever XD
ALSO HIM GIVING HER GIFTS AND HER ACCEPTING THEM ISN'T GREEDY THAT'S NOT WHAT GREED IS in the original novel she asked him for money to take her nephew and that was the only way he was going to get him and then she kept asking for money that's what greed is him giving her gifts and her kindly accepting them is not greed and it wouldn't get her killed either
i would be highly uncomfortable if a man i didn't know that well personally just showered me with so many super expensive gifts, especially when i plan to go back to a normal life so i would rather not get used to riches like this??
What? She read the novel she knows exactly how he is and who he is as a person and if she wanted to go back to her normal life, I'm guessing you meant inside of the novel? She wouldn't have got on that train even if the kid was begging her to. She should know by this point there's no going back to normal life even if she's hopeful of that happening once people see how close she is to her 'son' she'll just be used as something against him
I'm not saying I want this to be tragic BUT I want this to be tragic LMAO what if he dies?! Everything is going so good I feel like something bad is bound to happen my trust issues are having issues with this story right now
(theory 1) what if X isn't in her class at all I know that they said they were but at the same time she's quite popular? And another reason why I think X isn't in her class is because when she mentioned the bracelet the only bracelet that was mentioned was the vlogger girls bracelet but when she met ex they had the bracelet on soooo- why wasn't it mentioned? Or why didn't X say anything if they knew that they had a bracelet on??
(Theory two) what if X is in the classroom but the bracelet belonged to a fellow classmate that they are close to that died and after they died they took it as like an heirloom?? Meaning they would have no idea what she is talking about
(Question 1) how come she just doesn't talk to each of them? I feel like since X made such a big impression she would automatically recognize their voice?? I mean they did save her life this is also another reason why I don't think that X is in her class at least right now
(Theory 3) what if x is in her classroom but they were somewhere else when the zombies broke out?? I don't remember anybody asking about if everyone in the class was there or did a head count and you know she wouldn't really recognize them or who was missing X could have been using the bathroom for all I know
Hmmm.. I like your theories
I'm so disappointed that this is so short but it's also so good
ELLE IS WHOLESOME BABY!! Also I think it's very clear that the ml was sent back in time like you guys should have known that when he warned her about the whole bird incident and said "it's time" or something but that seriously gives him no right to suddenly change and treat her well?? It really seems like he's trying to save his own ass from whatever happens to him in the future if he kept up that same energy IDK how she could even fall for him knowing how he could be even if he is being "nice" now I mean clearly something happened and they most likely got sent back in time to have a fresh start but STILL I am glad she's not immediately forgiving him though just because he's being nice love her for that
CURTAIN FOR FUCK SAKE THAT FACE AT THE END I CAN'T XD that was way too funny but I guess now he'll understand why the cats love him so much I also hope he stays here for a long time I really love his character Ntm he's hot too
This is going to be long and I feel like a lot of people are going to disagree but if you aren't willing to hear me out just don't read it cause it is long XD
Wait stop my heart got a little swayed when they were little and he brought her cookies that was so wholesome where did that love for her go bro FUCK it also makes me curious if they could have ever fixed the relationship if he hadn't brought in a mistress? and instead she started opening up more about her emotions and feeling towards him? Because I do believe he loved her a lot at one point, but over the years that she started becoming an empress and everything she turned, how to say it, more stern and more straight faced? Which is a given because she had to grow up to be an empress. Occasionally, for instance, when she was getting those messages from the bird she would smile that loving smile but when you get flashbacks of them as kids she's smiling that same way with him. As they got older I think she started focusing more on being an empress and to make it easier, even though she loved him just as much as he loved he,r she stopped showing it and decided to bring it back down to just being friends to make it easier to run their empire. And while she thought he was doing the same thing it wasn't the case. I think the only reason he likes Trashta is because she acts the same way our MC used to act when they were younger? Does that make sense? (Note not the exact same way but it's the smile I think is what it is and the affection as well that she gives him) I think he misses what they used to be before they became emperor and emperors, before they got married, and before she drove into all the heavy pressures being an empress is. I'm not trying to defend him, I'm just trying to understand where he's coming from. The author put a lot of thought into these characters, and it's really good! I feel like a lot of people reading this don't try and look past the outer shell, of the other characters. And if you do you don't say anything about it because yeah they are both trash but all of them have history.
Summary of that long ass paragraph
1. When she became empress after a while I think she closed off her emotions so she could focus more on running the empire and therefore stop showing him affection which I think we can see at the beginning of the story they don't look close at all but when you get flashbacks they look very happy together so as you learn further in the story that was never the case
2. After she holds off her feelings he stopped trying I'm sure in the first few years of their marriage it went great but when she started becoming closed off he stopped trying to keep it going and only supported her as a friend but I still think it's very clear that once upon a time they did love each other even if she couldn't show it anymore and he stopped trying to as well
3. I think that the only reason he even likes Trashta (tbh I don't think he really likes her all anyway) is because she has a childish personality which reminds him of when they were younger and were still kids and when she became more mature and started caring more about the bigger picture(the empire) she lost that childish behavior that he likes apparently (weird)
4. He's only marrying her for a kid he thinks is his he doesn't care about her at all he only cares about the affection and attention he gets from her
5. Now that I'm thinking about it's kind of weird how he wants a childish personality a woman who has no intelligence just seems like he's the type of man who wants a woman to just rely on him and be stupid
Sorry this was so long ._.
I feel the same as you!!! I actually was going to comment this, but I then I saw your comment, that is why I like this manhwa, tbh. The ML is scum, but he is BELIEVABLE Scum with layers to him, rather than your textbook scum who does things for no reason, not even a good bad reason. I do think Navier was a little too closed off, but that is her adopted persona for her role, and she has it TOUGH as an empress! Sovieshu just isn't suited for her, he is an emperor by birth, but he really isn't made for the position, and when he keeps pursuing Trashta (fckin forgot her real name XD), he just proves how unsuited he is as a ruler.
He acts quite irrationally and never bothers to communicate with Navier (neither does she, but well, she is loyal and Sovieshu cheats) so he loses Navier. I understand Sovieshu's actions, he lives in his own world where he justifies things to himself, never considering what it's like to be Navier. I can't fully hate him though, this character needs a good therapist.
YES THANK YOU I'M SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE UNDERSTANDS!! I genuinely believe that our mc needed to open up more, and that he shouldn't have closed himself off from her. I feel like this couple needed some serious, "let's just sit down and talk" conversations. I also feel like it could have worked out I genuinely do. Sadly enough neither of them did that. :( It's really sad because you can see how much they genuinely cared about each other in the past when they were still kids, but sadly life changed them. well, I don't think they changed him, but they really changed our MC. She had to grow up, she couldn't act like a child, she barely even had a childhood to begin with. All she was doing was just studying to be empress. So when he met someone with that lack of intelligence and childish personality (which is just nasty ) he wanted her immediately. I think it reminded him of his past with our mc when they were still children. I also think it's very clear that he doesn't really give a damn about Trashta at all, he still loves our mc but doesn't believe she feels the same way, but of course, we know that she does. (Or well did but probably still does in some way.)
Her whole life is about being the empress. She feels like she is nothing else, if she's not an empress she doesn't know what she's going to do with her life. THAT'S what really sad about this story, because she's so much more than that, but that's all she's known in her life. And I feel like our ML is going to show her that once they get to his kingdom.
THISS!! She has grown up under constant pressure and so has he, her response was to mature quicker and accept her role, but she also suffered because all she sees herself as is through the lens of her role as an Empress. He instead kept being hopeful and clung on to the past, forgetting to live in the present. He did not understand that people always change with time and that change is necessary to be an adult. I too, feel that a series of long talks would have helped rebuild their relationship, but neither reached out. She felt there was mutual understanding but he didn't and then he committed his worst mistake of cheating that eventually led to the disintegration of this relationship. If anything, I pity Sovieshu.
I can already foresee a breakdown incoming for him, I just hope he rids himself of the toxic individuals and thoughts and becomes a good emperor, sans Navier.
I want Navier to go to her happiness, but I do not want Sovieshu to constantly dwell on her. He lost the chances to rebuild their love, now his best choice is to move on, even leaving Trashta behind because she is..... absolutely silly. Give her life support, raise your child and be a good emperor. Let Navier go. Heal.
Wait- that maid is kinda cute- her being all gigglingly and blushing is so precious! But I can't believe the knight is getting upset over the fact that he's being suspected of being a spy when he IS a spy also can't believe they sent such a dummy to be a spy in the first place then again he's such an airhead that he's not gonna stick out but then again he does some stupid stuff that won't make anyone be curious about him XD
Why is he not wearing any clothes IRL!?
He probably was in game for almost everyday and got used to walk around being naked lmao
I I guess LMAO but at least he was in his car but seriously I think they should just let him free the willy honestly let the man breathe
That's literally a perverted way to let a man breathe
Well I mean technically if we were raised not to find it odd I think we'd all be pretty chill if a guy ran up and down the street with their things just flying around and I'm pretty sure stuff like that happens all the time in New York I swear I doubt anybody from New York would really blink an eye at it or Florida
