KaneGAB's manga / #Traumatic past(5)

1000/10 re-read!

9/10 - So many dark themes. The reason it's not 10/10 is because Kako disgusted me so much when she defended the murder and didn't take her husband, whom she loves side

10/10

I loved it other than the fact that the blonde bitch was actually saved! That made me feel physically ill and fucked up the ending for me. That makes me so upset, because the ending would have been so lovely if it hadn't been for that! Why couldn't she just have been killed? Lena didn't owe her anything! She didn't deserve to be saved! Why didn't they just get rid of all the Santellas but Lian? That would have been so much more satisfying... Other than that clusterfuck, I loved the ending. Unfortunately, that was significant enough for me to make me give it a 9/10, when I had been planning on giving it a 10000/10 and putting it in my 10000/10 list only ONE chapter earlier (chapter 79). It left such a bad taste in my mouth. Just WHY did the author have to do that!? :/ Something original/ a refreshing concept about this manhwa, that I liked, is that they only have a Queen; the ruler who holds the highest power/is the ultimate ruler, is the Queen. So, if a man marries the Queen, he doesn't become a King (he doesn't get that title); rather, he only gets the title 'the Queen's husband'. He obviously gets political power and is considered royalty, but his power doesn't outweigh hers, and he doesn't become a king. Lena is the true Queen, so she inherits the throne and is crowned Queen at the end, and she and Carhel get engaged at the end; Carhel passes the title of Duke back to the former Duke (his father), as he's to become the Queen's husband. I loved Carhel and Lena as individuals and as a couple, their dynamic, their love for one another, Lena's true self, and I love that the only parts of her personality that changed were her confidence and emotional strength; I love that this is her true self! She's so strong and powerful as a person (yet, still cute and endearing)!
