So...why didn't they just tell her he was a piece of shit? Wouldn't that have solved everything? And why did she get so close to him so quickly, you would have thought she'd be even a little weary of strangers...
For your first question, yeah I honestly don't know why they didn't just tell her. As for your second question, it's already established that in her previous timeline she wasn't very social (didn't know how to ig) and probably had no prior exposure to romance. But in this one, she's just learning social skills and the only knowledge about love she has is from a book. Well then of course she's a bit naïve, she doesn't know any better after all.
So...unpopular opinion...I don't like the black haired duke. Idk...it feels weird that they met like 3 times before this and he started catching feelings after the 2nd and now he thinks its fine to just...chill with her in the middle of the night...like idk. I feel like thats way too much to have only met her twice and then started to like her. Like he barley knows her. They've only met twice! It just feels weird. Maybe they met before and she doesn't remember it but until proven otherwise it feels stalkerish. As of right now I still like the 3rd(?) Prince more.
Omg thank you!! Me too, i prefer the 3rd (?) Prince more, he's cute around her and he's cunning. At least, he's the first person who saw her grow when she was still fat. He thinks highly of her and honestly likes her in a secret way and shows his affection in his way, even mc is suspicious of him. And the black hair magician is uhhh no personality for now. No special traits yet except for his appearance?? Idk, perhaps he has sth but its meh
You forgot the 3rd prince knew about the cheating & he stayed silent about it. Then when Eve is dieting, he agreed with this brother's plan to sabotage her hardwork by tempting her to eat. He's sus & an accomplice. So even tho there's not much info about the blue-haired dude, he seems soooo much better than the 3rd prince already.
Spoilers I read from comments~~~
The 3rd prince isn't one of the MLs anyway. The one on the cover is the 1st prince & is the 2nd lead.
I really thought when I started reading this story I would get to see a cute story about a young orphan girl with secrets she didn't even know get close to the Emperor and his Empress and instead of her death bringing them together, their mutal love for her would and they would unoffically adopt this girl who found parental figures in them before becoming great and marrying somebody she loves, probably the Grand Duke, and everyone will live happily ever after...
Nope...my mistake. This chapter has obviously proved me wrong. How could I not think that the 14 year old child would end up with the 20 year old Emperor who is already pursuing someone else?....I am truly naive.
15*** and the Emperor is not pursing the saintess. It is obvious that he is only interested in Nina. Also, the romance mainly starts when she is 20, in addition, she is 35 years old mentally. Or we can say that she is 20 years old mentally instead since she didn’t grow up as Nina Cage but transmigrated into her body.
Furthermore, the age gap is quite short.
Only 5 years, with him being 20 and her being 15 currently.
To add even more onto that, in medieval times, young girls would get married at the ages of 12/13. They were only considers a child up until the age of 12, probably because back then the life expectancy wasn’t very high. But I doubt that the life expectancy thing is applied here because of the magic.
I think you're missing the point of my comment...them being together is not the problem. The problem was this story could have done something completely different that is sweet and wholesome like an orphan finding parental figures in the Emperor and Saintess but instead they go the normal route of girl get transported and ends up with the Emperor. And no, I wouldn't think the Emperor was after her especially since he ends up not only marrying but having a kid with the Saintess in the original novel. And honestly, mental age has nothing do with me. Ever heard of, read or watched Cardcaptor Sakura? Cause there's a 10 year old boy in there who's in a romantic relationship with someone over 20 but he is mentally over 100 years old. A mature child is still a child no matter how you look at it. Look, I'm not hating on the ship just kind of disappointed that it didn't go the way I thought it would. A 5 year old age gap isn't that big of deal and its not why I don't ship them (at least not as of now) but them becoming a family would have just been really cute and less...generic
The original novel is not applicable or relevant to what is happening in the story now though. Perhaps my point in her mental age is irrelevant after all. But it would have been even weirder for them to have become her parental figures (I’m talking about by blood) because that is a 5 year age gap... A 5 year age gap between a parent and their child??? Yeah, that’s far more disturbing. It’s better that it went down the lover route. I’m especially concerned for those who thought that they were related by blood and were wishing that they were. That would be so very horrifying if they actually were... I cringe to the thought. It would be strange even if they weren’t blood related and quite odd (?) for the king to take up the role of a parent when he is at the young age of 20. But I get your point of wishing it wasn’t “generic”, I guess.
I got what you meant but I don't think its weird. There are many stories about young people fostering teenagers until they're 18 or siblings becoming the legal guardian of their younger siblings because of parent or familial issues. I don't think a child who has never known their parents are gonna be picky on age when it comes to someone they love and respect. And it wouldn't be offical. Like she's not gonna be the princess and everyone knows about it but the people who are close to them can see they think of each other not as friends but family. I mean she's already getting special treatment and they are already treating her like a child. The only difference would be, she'd probably have a different task to keep her safe or they wpuld personally visit when she's sick or even she can talk casually around them and they wouldn't care. And like everyone lowkey knows that if someone messes with her they are in soooo much trouble. Idk, I think it would have been cute
Did the percentage go down or up? I don't remember what it was before
Its currently going down I'm getting a stomach ache by how infair that is.
Okay, I thought so but wanted to make sure! Thank you!! And I really hope this ends with a big 'F you' moment because honestly, he needs it
It used to be at 10% so it went down. This isn't the end, it's gonna keep going down.
