I haven't finished reading it yet because the scenes including Yvonne just makes me so frustrated. But from the spoilers, Penelope ends up with Callisto . They'd have a daughter named Judith (?). Idk what happens to the other MLs except the colors of their hearts/favorability gauges.
Dark red (Eckles) = obsessive love
Red (Callisto) = romantic love
Pink (Reynold) = familial love
Orange (Derrick) = first love
Purple (Winter) = incomplete love

I think this is more accurate. I just got it from one of the comments in the site I was reading the novel.
Callisto (Red gauge) - Intense/Passion Love
Reynold (Pink gauge) - Platonic/familial Love
Vinter (Purple gauge) - Remorseful Love
Derrick (Orange gauge) - Confused Love
Eclise (Dark red gauge) - Obsessive Love

I’m on chapter 30 and now I have to know what Darek did for everyone to hate him this much

He's the only one who nevers admits to anything and redeems himself, until the bitter end. Also, he harbors feelings of romantic nature towards Penelope, which he can't admit to. That's why he's willing to destroy the familial bond they have as a brother and sister. While no doubt this Ivone isn't the real one, I don't remember him being enchanted to bring her to Penelope's coming of age ceremony in the novel. He, in fact, just saw it as an opportunity and did so willing. He's the only one who never truly accepts her as family. His feelings are selfish and nauseating. Also, i disagree, his hypocrisy in the chapters you've already read are in fact enough to make him loathsome to many. His brother is at least admitting his mistakes and has character development, enough to actually make him redeemable.The same goes for the father.

Fair fair. He was very annoying especially when Penelope was held in prison during the hunting arc but I didn’t mean that he wasn’t annoying just that everyone seemed to hate him more than expected when checking the comments like something he did recently was bad. But that’s fair I did not know he liked Penelope will be interesting to read tho

Honestly feel bad for Diana she tried so hard to build her power since she was an orphan and just wanted the best life for her and her brother. They definitely went about it the wrong way and she was a b!tch for a while but still. She worked hard only to have someone who was born in a position of power take her whole life away from her and she genuinely did seem to love the emperor too so having him be so cold towards her and when she realised how he had always seen her as lesser made me feel bad. Plus there are many manhwas which are based on her pov where she is the ones whos disregarded by the emperor and then she gets her man but this was cruel because she only realised how little he cared for her when it was too late

I appreciate that she focused on how the emperor was the core problem after figuring out he didn't actually care for her. She's genuinely grieving over the loss of what sh thought was her child and regrets how things ended up. I hope both women get a happy ending because they were dragged through hell and back.

Yes she doesn't focus on the MC being the reason that the emperor left her even tho she fought against her lots, she knew that it was the emperors fault and realised that no matter what he would not love her in the way she wanted because he only felt pity towards her. I hope they both find peace and can reconcile
I have a question for those who have read this. I got to the part where the princess warns the MC about how the Duke only married the princess cuz he was in love with her maid and how he killed Jonas on purpose. Is this true?
well, yes. but there's more to the story. avoiding spoilers, the only thing i can say is, they all had their reasons, and while they are not saints and all innocent, they definitely cannot be blamed either.
Nono I love spoilers you have to tell me !
SPOILER
The truth is that Jonas isn’t the Duke's biological son, the princess got pregnant and used him to hide this.
The duke actually loved Sophia, the princess’s maid and current duchess, but was rejected by her multiple times. And so, the princess asked him to marry her, and in return, she would soon fake her death and disappear from his life so he could marry Sophia instead with the excuse of raising his son. At the end of the day, the princess died on childbirth so yeah!
About him killing Jonas, he did because Jonas had a strong desire of becoming king, he went around telling people that once he became duke, he would then go for the crown (treason) bc he believed his linage was superior than even normal royals (royal blood + dukedom direct descendant) and, furthermore, he also told everyone that he considered Sophia (the current duchess) to be inferior and no more than a maid who didn’t deserve to be called his mother, even said the first thing he would do once he became king was getting her far and out of his side (like killing her or getting rid of her) so he killed him bc he was being too much (I agree btw ngl)
Thanks and now can you tell me about the nephew and his reincarnation?
Spolieeeeeer
In the nephew's past life, he found out, by reading the late duke's diary, that the dukedom had a magical cup passed down every generation that could make any wish come true (just once). This cup has the founding queen's magical power in it, and because her magic was forcefully stolen by her greedy son, she gave it to the dukedom's patriarch to take care of it and maintain it away from future royals, because this cup's power only works when used by someone with royal's blood.
The thing is, when the nephew found it, he wished to be happy, and the cup worked and ended up sending him back in time, since he was queen Victoria's grandchild and all that.
Also, the duke mentioned that it was part of the reason he killed Jonas, too. Because he was of royal blood, wich meant he could use it and wish to become king, and it was dangerous.
Oh nice! Thanks sm
Actually...,
Luca knew about the cup, all prospective heirs were told about it. He just forgot until one time when he accidentally dropped the key to that specific room.
