Is it just me who's not.. actually annoyed at the mc? I mean, I do understand their arguments but I also think the mc had valid reasons as to why she did it. I mean, imagine being ignored by your husband for 1 (or was it 2?) whole year, just for him to start caring about you by the time the heroine arrives. I would also say that she focuses too much on the storyline when it could be very well subjected to changes depending on the action she takes, but could you really blame her when she knows that her death is certain if she does something wrong? And take note, the emperor himself made a verbal agreement (during their dance on their wedding day nonetheless!) with her not to expect a loving husband or she could forget being the empress consort. I believe she had every right to run out on him just for the sole reason on turning back on his own self made conditions. He made those conditions himself and she accepted, she was the only one who fulfilled their verbal contract. Like.. what.. the emperor fell in love with her and you guys expected her to follow immediately? You guys think she will fall in love with a guy she never saw after the wedding until that one chapter where he was kinda guilt tripped into seeing her? That guy? I don't know about you guys, but if I was in her shoes, damn right I will straight up ignore this man's advancements as much as possible when the prospect of getting killed is definitely real. So I think it's kinda unfair to Serena that she's being called annoying when in reality, I think this is one of the more realistic reactions to these kinds of situations. Imagine religiously sticking to your 'foolproof' plan, only for it to fail at the most crucial time. Yikes. I'd probably bolt out of the castle asap and as far as possible.
Leana** gdi I got her name wrong
I do understand why she is so thrown off.....like damn this Corona through me off my whole life plan.....I feel like its kind of like that for her....his affection is so unexpected....so she's not really sure how to adjust to the change....
I think there's a major plot hole here, I think this was all kind of unnecessary since the aunt couldn't inherit the title despite being the 1st child because she was born as a woman. Then isn't it natural to assume that Avery won't be inheriting the title as well, regardless if the will of the grandfather states that the offspring of the 1st son will be the future heir? And isn't she endangering herself by disguising herself as a man? Because if she really was a man, then she would be eligible to inherit the title, making her an even bigger threat. While I do understand that men and women aren't given equal opportunities, living as a man definitely benefits her in the sense that she knows how to survive in the real world, I think it just overrides the point of her mom protecting her. If her mom really wanted to protect her, she should've given her at least a fake name (albert's parents should have given them a fake family background information too for good measure) and had her stay in the manor as a maid. But idk that's just me ig
The whole reason why Avery's disguise as a man worked for so long is because she was taught to keep dyeing her hair brown. I think her aunt probably resents the fact that Avery would be able to inherit as a woman/as her younger brother's child whereas she was unable to do so as the Duke's oldest daughter.
The reason why Avery can inherit the duchy is because she's the child of the youngest son (since the Countess murdered her older brother first). Meanwhile her aunt married into another family, thus leaving her family name behind. It might've been different if she had remained unmarried and then both of her brothers had died. However she did, so - assuming her brother had died childless - her kids would then be the first in line for the Dukedom. She didn't know about Avery so without Avery's existence, her oldest son would have become the Duke's heir since he's the Duke's grandchild.
To put it in simpler terms here is the priority of who would inherit if all the siblings and their children were alive:
- Oldest Son's children
- Younger Son's children (Avery)
- Daughter's sons (Countess; Matthew/Ben)
So if both sons and their children had died only then would the countess's sons be eligible to inherit since thats the only living blood for that family left. Since Avery is alive, the countess's sons have to be content with their father's count status unless they somehow manage to do something worthy of increasing their rank.
Sorry for the long comment but I hope this helps! The heir thing was very confusing for me for awhile too! ╮(￣▽￣)╭
TL;DR, it doesn't matter what gender Avery is, she's eligible for the inheritance simply because her father was the duke's son - the duke's son and his offspring have higher priority than the daughter, regardless of age.
Oh my god I didn't even remember that the Aunt married into another family, nevermind it makes so much sense, I was too focused on the genders that I forgot about marriage. Thanks!!
but didnt the father not marry his first fiancee because she needed to inherit the title of her family? i think the inherit title is based on personal family rules.
I think this might be because the fiancee was the only child of her family. Like @Kaisen pointed out, if the aunt had remained UNMARRIED and her two brothers died without children, then she would inherit the title as the only surviving blood.
In the same way, I think the fiancee was the only child of the family, or at least, the only child able to inherit.
Also, that problem has more to do with retaining titles. It has been established that two personages of the peerage cannot marry and both retain their individual titles. One of them would have to give up their pre-marriage titles, and usually this is the woman. Instead of being Lady------, daughter of a Baron (for example), she would have to take her husband's title. For example, Countess (insert husband's last name) instead.
Rarely, but not impossible, is the man giving up his pre-marriage title. We see this with Queen Victoria's husband, Royal Consort Albert. He was in line to inherit the Duchy of Saxe-Cobourg and Gotha (he only had one older brother, so if that brother passed away before marriage, he would have been able to inherit). Royal Consort Albert gave up any rights to inherit the Duchy when he married Queen Victoria.
I know this is rather lengthy, but I hope this helps!
Thank you for such a great addition to my reply, I feel like you put it into words much better than I did! (≧∀≦)
I liked your explanation, and I just built on it. It started with your good explanation first! :D
I love how Mia has the audacity to push Financier Terrier and told him that he could've told her to stay away like,,, girl,,,, did common sense flush out from your brain when you drowned?? Since when do people have to be told not to attempt to seduce a married man???? And governor Lehman,,,, tf you doing bro you suspicious as hecc
Lehman do be a little suspicious
Is it just me who doesn't have a problem with the light spirit white washing her? I mean, it's not like she was originally dark skinned. If I remembered it correctly, she just happened to have darker skin because of the dark spirit blessing her, so its safe to assume that she is originally white. Although it is a bit disappointing that she was whitewashed in the end, I don't have any particular problems with it (well, maybe the fact that they are portraying dark skin as something evil and unattractive, yea that kinda sets me off)
Im not offended over it but like kinda sad since chocolate skin did look nice on her and well seeing it since the beginning it just felt like a part of her and like her connection with the dark spirit king u kno? Does the dark spirit king leave?
I haven't read the entire novel yet, but I think the dark spirit king won't leave her at all. He still stays with her and still protects her. The light future king doesn't even stay with her, they blessed her and they haven't made any appearances after that.
I don't have a problem with her having lighter skin but I do have a problem when her mother became nicer to her after having lighter skin and bunch of jerks liking her after having lighter skin
okay i personally like lehman, but it ain't about me, so he gotta gO ASAPヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
See I would like him too, but he’s acted so suspiciously I can’t tell anymore ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
