RainyShadows's manga / #historical(154)

Huh. Where's the mind reading gone to? What's the point of having that power when you're not using it at every opportunity? *sigh* My one hope was that the reason her power didn't work on the prince was that he also could read minds (but his was stronger than hers).. but seeing how useless/jealous he's acting.. there goes that option. This would have been so good with two sneaky, mind reading people - with the ML trying to keep the FL from realizing he can 'hear' her... BUT NOPE. Not happening [at least not by chapter 28 -- maybe I can dream for later chapters??]. Ah well.. maybe I'll go see if there's a manga like this out there somewhere.

Awkward English translation unfortunately.

What. I will say 'killed defending her unborn baby' brings up a completely different image to 'died as a result of a forced cesarean so her husband (the emperor) could make the baby into medicine for his mistress (her sister)'.

Claude you better have a better plan than ' travel the world' -- one that maybe involves coming back, and marrying your (hopefully) recently divorced childhood friend. Because yeeesh, her current husband is a complete and utter ignorant.

Okay. If I assume this is based off a light novel and is missing chunks of backstory... I can work with it. Because having a tragic backstory of - living in a kingdom where men have everything and women nothing, killed fiancee & husband in self-defense, sentenced to death, brutalized in prison for 5 years, gets 'rescued'... and all that is glossed over when the archduke comes into the picture. He's all - going to pick you up, going to pat your head, going to wash your naked body in the bathroom... and it's suddenly forgotten that - this women has been abused -- you think that touching her willy-nilly is something she's going to be comfortable with?? [But nooo, no worries, she seems okay with it - WTF]. Should have had more chapters with her getting comfortable with the servants before springing the duke's lack of personal space on her. Ah well, at least once the whole revenge story line came in, it got interesting.
