Not even an smidget of relation to their same sex relationship. If anything, it's the EXACT OPPOSITE. She has unhappy parents, neglects her, and the role for a girl like her was to be a homewrecker between a couple, and one who loves the goddamn child? Disappointing arc esp with the numerous possibilities of build up of "omg, she mightve been a lesbian, one her parents mightve been gay." And ik ik, theyll have this convo about what she said, but it's so narcissistic, even worse than just knowing she was selling their villahe chief like that. Coz it has NOTHING to do with her AT ALL. Like those chapters were wasted on a nobody like her (and maybe the message is indeed that. Nobodies with so big of a self justification will mess w relationships coz theyre so damn bitter with their life) Anyway, vent over
The brewing criticism in my heart lmao. First thought was, " girl, u literally left your grandma w dementia alone to create SO MANY dating profiles for someone else. Wow. Youve just endangered someone who was scammed many times for his kindness and YOUR OWN grandmother because youre so busy being nosy about someone else's relationships instead of your OWN affairs. And NOW you are worried he'd be angry?? How about we also sell you out to men out there huh??"
But anyway, that's just the immediate thought and wanted to vent that out. I'm fine now HAHAHA
Culture wise, they are nobles with stricter gender roles, a heavy responsibility that demands women to be in social circles while men do the rough jobs. Their parents fit that ideology. Their mom is supportive but not 'radical' especially when she learned about Diana's combative skills during a knight duel (didnt even ease her into it, she just watched her kid bolt to the "battlefield"). It was an oversight from Cain compared to when their dad slowly learned about his daughter's behavior with the orphans which made him reflect about their noble's cause. They also didn't do what theyve done now with the maid, meeting her in the middle. Their compromise was to hide her skills until she is old enough to prove to her parents that her choice wasn't a bad thing even as a noble lady. Their parents are very loving and also trying to guide their children (like how they cut Cain's allowance so he doesnt run back to Diana coz he's too clingy). Their mindset is different but it doesn't mean that they are shitty.
See the little baby and youll be swallowing your words, i HOPE. Coz what the hell are good intentions if you dont bother talking to the person and instead leap out to ruin his happiness?
yeaaah, if u wanna help, u need to know the problems first from the person ur helping, not just from ur own speculation
It's not him only ever clearing obstacles, he reinforces self-control, consideration, empathy, and the innate positive traits Diana already has. He is still a siscon, still caught up in his own obsession to clear the future, and has so many weaknesses and Diana gets to be her own active agent in affecting Cain (like she's so precious and the message that children are a bundle of potential and possibilities is so heartwarming).
Besides, teaching her to show a facade fitd the nobility status (and a lot of the parent nobles in most fantasy stories...esp the "elegant and wise wife being secretly as skilled or even better that knights or were previously adventurers before being a noble wife"). Got me so excited that I was stunned by the "recommendation page".
i just hope that in some chapters their parents will understand that it's okay for their children to be anything other than 'a proper noble lady & gentlemen' as long as it's something right & didn't bring harm to anybody. so that their children didn't have to deceive them forever, cause isn't great if the children also get support from their parents? (｡•︿•｡)
With the way Cain had been dealing with the prince's parents, I think he's done the key steps to also make sure their hidden growth can prove to their parents that they can do both as young children who kinda have little say against authority. The parents are as supportive as they can be, but as nobles, they don't want their kids to be "unlike a Noble" (like Cain's emotional outburts against the prince despite having a valid concern, or Diana showing signs of unreserved assertiveness that would otherwise cause mayhem).
Since this work is triggering as it is, let me just embrace that indirect manifestation of what I tried to do but never did. It almost, if not fully, makes me envious when lovers die together. Romanticizing shit like that but dying alone is just so pathetic that maybe it wouldnt be so bitter if youd fine someone as broke as you to breath your last together.
And that's also like a way to subtly remind me how many people he's met and been part of his life all these time (to think he'll meet more is a beautiful wait in the future)

Did she sell out their landlord because she thought our military man was a cheating husband with a kid? Coz thats the one thing that sort of connects her reasons and actions, now that i think of it more. Is she worried about the baby? So she'd rather their landlord marry a woman and keep away from a family man who might be ruining a baby's life?? Is she projecting herself on the baby who she thinks would be like her, kicked out to some relative and being a caretaker? Like im pretty sure it's mostly the caretaker depression going on which i wished was a lil more highlighted, coz it was so subtle at first... This is like LAYERS to her heart bro, it's when u absolutely make no sense to what your doing coz there was an actually deeper reason...and yeah, it's her forgetting that she is no longer neglected as she has her granny, it's just that her granny's dementia is hitting her more and making her lonely and then pinning it to her parents' neglect coz yknow, she doesn't blame her grandma...she just forgot that despite being forgetful, her granny remembers her dearly.
Yoooo, this author just ignites a lot of mental and emotional olympics — the very thing i love about reading... Coz some things arent so obvious (i mean, duh, but i get spoonfed a lot and my reading brain is rusty now — so it makes me happier when im just provoked to keep thinking abt it regardless if i held embarassingly shallow first impressions HAHAHA)
