noooo i wanted so badly to see jeremy again but this hurts even more than i thought - the kids had already started to warm up to her that long ago? god, it's so painful to think of how misunderstandings can destroy what could have been. i'm so glad shuli got to live another life with them...
im supposed to support this ML? he has no emotions besides annoyance and anger, he may be 'fulfilling' his duties as a husband in terms of money but this bastard doesn't even bother to check on how his wife is doing? did you really think throwing money at her would work, as if every servant and...
i really like this story bc our MC clearly is skilled and clever enough to get the throne. i hope the author handles her 'revenge' against whats-his-name well, because it could cross the line into petty obsession at some point. after the concubines arrive in her palace i hope the story spends...
this was really heartwarming, even if both of them can't completely understand each other and reconcile, they're communicating and taking small steps. but Ercella can't move forward in her self-love and growth while she stays as the powerless duchess of that household, and she can't love Harsen...
i dont like that ripley is doing the same as when rose tried to drown her - just show up smiling to visit your enemy? did she even tell zeronis about what happened? bc if she did, he would have already killed rose by now. idk im just frustrated, at this point ripley's cheerfulness seems less...
oh man i love so many things about this chapter - theo's cute misunderstanding, the fact that he addresses it within the same chapter instead of giving us 5 chapters of confusion, and that they're both adults who can communicate with each other and talk about their feelings. so cute and so...
damn now that i think about it, how many of Ercella's talents must've gone to waste? we know from the ep with the bookstore that she has an interest in theology (which is not common) and this flashback shows that she had the intelligence to calculate the budget too. sure, it may not have been as...
im so glad she got to go outside alone and breathe. she already looks so young and refreshed and it's only been her first outing. hope they continue to let her explore (safely, of course, with like a knight secretly watching over her)
honestly this story is so frustrating lately - i hate the duke's obsessiveness (e.g. when he stopped Ripley from leaving the house - just TELL HER that you're worried about her and want her to just rest, instead of using your power to threaten her and her maid) and i hate that this kidnapping...
Thank you so much for your hard work! (and I'm glad you guys have caught up!) I really appreciate the translations for this chapter in particular, because there were certain scenes that make much more sense with your translation. Keep up the great work, and take care :)
