I RE-Read from chapter 1 and he really is messed up so i'm confuse wheter i want him for tia or nahh ( ̄へ ̄)
I still don't really feel sorry for him. I meant he did not properly experience familial love, but all he focuses about is himself. While FL focuses on work, the people around her especially ML, the empire, and the people.. She worked hard while he was fueled with himself.. Even if you say Zena is behind this, it's still because he only thinks about himself..
Since he was a child he was compared with our FL by pretty much every nobility.
His own father favored FL as well and whenever the king was in front of him he was scorned and taught with strictness without even an ounce of explanation from his own father. One mistake has a brutal consequence. And every step he has to be perfect.
The only person who had ever felt any love towards him was the FL's mother, who by the way chooses JUST her own daughter on one tragedy/accident, which is for a child a heartbreaking thing. Like your best friend that understood you, that you pour your heart onto just suddenly found a new friend and left you.
Then he grew up still feeling unwanted, and like a puppet for the empire, and his only purpose on living is for the crown and to his people that judges him.
I mean of course he has fascination with our FL already on a much younger age but the bitterness overwhelmed this fascination. Since he is a child, and children are easily jealous.
Then Duke Zena added fuel to the fire, when he started poisoning the mind of the prince, telling him of nonsense about the FL; everything that has happened he twist it up and tell Ruveliss the oppoite. Because at this point, the prince now just trusts Duke Zena because of this 'information' and 'attention' this old man is giving him.
So yeah, in conclusion Ruveliss became a sorry pathetic pitiful fucked-up prince.
I relate to him as well, good thing I ain't fucked-up like he got. Or I am in a different way, I guess hahaha
You're right that it's harsh for a child. But he's doing fine this life despite everything going the same way except FL changed. Are you saying it's FL's fault then that his life is miserable? Because that's the only factor that changed this timeline...
Anyway, it's not like I don't understand that things happening during childhood is really crucial and affect adulthood in many cases. It's just that he always view himself as victim and never tried to fix that. As someone who has to fight my own childhood issues, it's just disgusting to see him blaming everything else and not looking at himself properly. Sorry, I don't think I can change my mind..
No worries if you won't change your mind. But the current Ruveliss is actually trying to change FOR the FL. I mean, he became kinder and gentle, and pretty much would do everything for the FL. He tried to please her, by giving her space and respecting her decisions not to become the crown princess, even though he wants her. He protects her in his own way. It's just Tia who can't see that, because the two of them can't seem to stop for a second and talk about their feelings.
Tia held back because of her previous memories, and Ruveliss being an awkward and shy idiot. He also feels guilty of getting jealous with Tia because of false rumours about her and of course the mother thing.
The past Ruveliss/previous timeline Ruveliss is much harsher because he and Tia never got close nor had any interaction, or deepen his infatuation with her. With Duke Zena poisoning his mind and giving him bad advice and giving Ruveliss a reason to hate Tia.
So pretty much, it is neither Tia or Ruveliss' fault. It's only Duke Zena, him and only him.
Her Family is so cool LOL ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
